Figure 3.
ROS scavenger proteins SOD1 and PRDX5 are downregulated in Prm2-deficient sperm. (A) Profile plots showing the relative abundance of identified SOD1 peptides within each replicate of Prm2+/+, Prm2+/− and Prm2−/− sperm. The protein abundance calculated by Tukey´s median polish is resembled by thickened grey lines. (B) Representative immunoblot against SOD1 and PRDX5 on protein lysates from Prm2+/+, Prm2+/− and Prm2−/− testes and epididymal sperm (n = 1–3). Beta-actin and tubulin served as loading control.
