Fig. 2. Plasma-membrane-associated GSTs on sperm. (A) Autoradiogram of
125I-GSTs purified by GSH affinity chromatography from extracts of
the plasma membrane of surface-iodinated sperm in live conditions (lane b).
Lane a represents extracts of sperm after removal of the plasma membrane. (B)
SDS-PAGE (12%) of GSH affinity-purified GSTs from sperm plasma membrane
preparations. Lane a, molecular weight marker; lane b, purified GSTs. (C)
Non-reducing SDS-PAGE showing immunoprecipitated proteins from sperm plasma
membranes using anti-GST antibodies. (lane a) Preimmune serum; (lane b)
anti-GST MuN antibodies; (lane c) anti-GST PiN antibodies; (lane d) migration
of GSH affinity-purified sperm plasma membrane GSTs used as a control lane.
(D) The RP-HPLC elution profile of sperm plasma membrane GSTs purified by GSH
affinity chromatography. Peaks 1 and 2 are GST-Mu, Peak 3 is GST-Pi. (E)
Western blots of peaks 1 and 2 represented in D probed with anti-GST M1
antibody (lanes a,b) and anti-GST Pi antibody (lanes c,d), respectively.
