摘要
Gamete fusion is a critical event of mammalian fertilization. A random one-bead one-compound combinatorial peptide library represented synthetic human egg mimics and identified a previously unidentified ligand as Fc receptor–like 3, named MAIA after the mythological goddess intertwined with JUNO. This immunoglobulin super family receptor was expressed on human oolemma and played a major role during sperm-egg adhesion and fusion. MAIA forms a highly stable interaction with the known IZUMO1/JUNO sperm-egg complex, permitting specific gamete fusion. The complexity of the MAIA isotype may offer a cryptic sexual selection mechanism to avoid genetic incompatibility and achieve favorable fitness outcomes.

配子融合是哺乳动物施肥的关键事件。一个随机的单珠单晶体组合肽库代表合成的人卵模仿,并确定了先前未识别的配体为FC受体3,名为Maia,以与Juno交织在一起的神话女神。这种免疫球蛋白超级家族受体在人类的卵子上表达,并在精子 - 蛋的粘附和融合中发挥了重要作用。Maia与已知的Izumo1/Juno Sperm-Egg复合物形成了高度稳定的相互作用,允许特定的配子融合。MAIA同种型的复杂性可能会提供一种隐秘的性选择机制,以避免遗传不相容性并实现有利的健身结果。
