Phosphoproteome analysis of the crosstalk between sumoylation and phosphorylation in mouse spermatocytes.

ABSTRACT: Spermatogenesis is supported by various posttranslational modifications. There is growing evidence supporting a crosstalk between sumoylation and phosphorylation in different cell types. We have recently shown that inhibition of global sumoylation with a sumoylation inhibitor (Ginkgolic acid, GA) arrested purified mouse spermatocytes in vitro; the spermatocytes could not condense chromatin and disassemble the synaptonemal complex. Our data have also revealed that some kinases regulating the meiotic prophase (PLK1 and AURKB) were inhibited upon the inhibition of sumoylation. Nevertheless, specific phosphorylated targets affected by the inhibition of sumoylation have not been identified. To address this gap, in this study, we performed a comparative phospho-proteome analysis of the control s
