Abstract

The aim of the present study was to identify fertility associated sperm membrane proteins in crossbred bulls. Sperm membrane proteins from high- and low-fertile Holstein Friesian crossbred bulls (n = 3 each) were subjected to high-throughput liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) for comparative proteomic analysis. Proteomic profiling identified a total of 456 proteins in crossbred bull spermatozoa; it was found that 108 proteins were up regulated while 26 proteins were down regulated (>1.5-folds) in spermatozoa from low- compared to high-fertile bulls. Gene ontology classification revealed that upregulated proteins in low-fertile bulls were involved in biological process such as oxidation–reduction process (p = 3.14E−06), fusion of sperm to egg plasma membrane (p = 7.51E−04), sperm motility (p = 0.03), and capacitation (p = 0.09), while down regulated proteins were associated with transport (p = 6.94E−04), superoxide metabolic process (p = 0.02), and tricarboxylic acid cycle (p = 0.04). KEGG pathway analysis revealed that oxidative phosphorylation and tricarboxylic acid cycle pathways are the most significantly affected pathway in low-fertile bulls. It was concluded that expression of proteins associated with oxidative phosphorylation and tricarboxylic acid cycle pathways were altered in low-fertile crossbred bulls, and expression levels of SPATA19, ELSPBP1, ACRBP, CLU, SUCLA2, and SPATC1 could aid in assessing potential fertility of crossbred bulls.
