Microinjection of cytosolic sperm extracts into unfertilized golden hamster eggs caused a series of increases in cytoplasmic free calcium, Ca2+i, and membrane hyperpolarizing responses, HRs. These HRs and Ca2+i transients are similar to those seen during in vitro fertilization of hamster eggs. The sperm factor that is responsible for causing these effects appears to be of high molecular weight and protein based. Injection of sperm factor activated eggs and mimicked fertilization in causing repetitive HRs in the presence of phorbol esters and in sensitizing the egg to calcium-induced calcium release. Since these effects cannot be mimicked by injecting G-protein agonists or calcium-containing solutions, it seems unlikely that a receptor-G-protein signalling system is involved at fertilization. These data instead suggest a novel signal transduction system operates during mammalian fertilization in which a protein factor is transferred from the sperm into the egg cytoplasm after gamete membrane fusion.
