Oviduct-specific glycoprotein (oviductin) plays an important role during fertilization and early embryonic development. The oviductin cDNA was successfully cloned and sequenced in goat, which possessed an open reading frame of 1620 nucleotides representing 539 amino acids. Predicted amino acid sequence showed very high identity with sheep (97%) followed by cow (94%), porcine (77%), hamster (69%), human (66%), rabbit (65%), mouse (64%) and baboon (62%). The bioinformatics analysis of the sequences revealed the presence of a signal sequence of 21 amino acids, one potential N-linked glycosylation site at position 402, 21 potential O-linked glycosylation sites and 36 potential phosphorylation sites. The native oviductin was purified from the oviductal tissue, which showed three distinct bands on SDS-PAGE and western blot (MW similar to 60-95 kDa). The predicted molecular weight of goat oviductin was 57.5 kDa, calculated from the amino acid sequences. The observed higher molecular weight has been attributed to the presence of large number of potential O-linked glycosylation sites. The lower concentration (10 mu g/mL) of oviductin increased the cleavage rate, morula and blastocyst yield significantly (P < 0.05) as compared to higher concentration (100 mu g/mL). Goat oviductin retarded the activity of pronase (0.1%) on zona solubility of oocytes significantly (P < 0.01). (c) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
