Nature of Mutation

DNA sequencing using the SOLiD technique identified an A to T transversion at base pair 44328760 in the Genbank genomic region NC_000084 for the 9530002K18Rik gene on chromosome 18 (GTAATGACTC ->GTAATGGCTC). The mutation is located within intron 2 from the ATG exon, nine nucleotides from the previous exon. The 9530002K18Rik gene contains 5 total exons. The mutation has been confirmed by DNA sequencing using the Sanger method (Figure 1).

 
Protein Function and Prediction

The 9530002K18Rik gene encodes a 90 amino acid serine protease inhibitor-like protein. The protein does not inhibit  trypsin, chymotrypsin, subtilisin or elastase, but binds sperm and enhances sperm motility. It may act as a decapacitation factor, and suppresses BSA-stimulated sperm capacitation and blocks sperm-oocyte interactions in vitro. The protein contains a Kazal-like domain at residues 33-89 (Uniprot Q8CEK3).
