The mouse oocyte can be activated by injection of a single, intact mouse spermatozoon or its isolated head. Isolated tails are unable to activate the oocyte. Active sperm-borne oocyte-activating factor(s) (SOAF) appears during transformation of the round spermatid into the spermatozoon. The action of SOAF is not highly species-specific: mouse oocytes are activated by injection of spermatozoa from foreign species, such as the hamster, rabbit, pig, human, and even fish. Some SOAF can be extracted by simple freeze-thawing of (hamster) spermatozoa; additional SOAF is obtained by sequential treatment of spermatozoa with Triton X-100 and SDS. Electron microscopic examination of sperm heads during SOAF extraction suggests that the relatively insoluble SOAF is associated with perinuclear material. When microsurgically injected into oocytes, Triton X-100-treated sperm heads (with perinuclear material, but without any membranes) can activate the oocytes, leading to normal embryonic development. Whereas perinuclear components have been believed to play a purely structural role, these data suggest an additional function for them in oocyte activation.
