The zona pellucida (Zp) genes are quintessential oocyte-specific genes that are transcribed only during oogenesis and whose protein products are secreted in the extracellular space. In mice the Zp genes are three: Zp1, Zp2, Zp3 (Zp4 is a pseudogene). Contrary to longtime knowledge, data from 2023 ha...

Vertebrate oocytes are coated with a special extracellular matrix termed egg-coat or Zona pellucida (ZP). Egg-coat is constituted by several ZP glycoproteins. In chicken fertilization, ejaculated sperm releases enzyme(s) to solubilize the ZP glycoprotein(s) for penetrating the egg-coat. In this stud...

Zona pellucida removal affects pre- and post-implantation development and gene expression in mouse embryos
The zona pellucida plays a crucial role in the process of fertilization to early embryonic development, including cellular arrangement and communication between blastomeres. However, little is known regarding the role of the zona pellucida in pre- and post-implantation embryonic development associat...

The metalloproteinase ovastacin is released by the mammalian oocyte upon fertilization and cleaves zona pellucida protein 2, a component of the surrounding extracellular matrix, at a distinct cleavage site. This limited proteolysis hardens the zona pellucida, abolishes sperm binding and thereby regu...

This dataset includes a proteomic analysis of the ZP protein isolated from MII oocytes in young- and middle-aged mice.
ORGANISM(S): Mus Musculus (mouse) 
Here we modified a single cell whole transcriptome amplification method to make it capable of amplifying cDNAs as long as 3kb efficiently and unbiasedly. We combined this modified single cell cDNA amplification method with Applied Biosystems next generation sequencing SOLiD™ System to set up a singl...
