At an extracellular pH of 6.6, a peptide (resact) isolated from the egg jelly ofArbacia punctulataincreased the respiration rates ofA.punctulataspermatozoa but did not activate sperm cells fromLytechinus pictus. In contrast, speract (Gly-Phe-Asp-Leu-Asn-Gly-Gly-Gly-Val-Gly), elevated the respiration rates ofL. pictusbut notA.punctulataspermatozoa. At normal seawater pH (7.6–8.0) egg jelly fromA.punctulata, or egg jelly fromL. pictuspurified free of speract, inhibitedL. pictussperm respiration rates. Similarly, the egg jelly fromL. pictusinhibited the respiration rates ofA.punctulataspermatozoa. The jelly component responsible for the inhibition of respiration was nondialyzable. The inhibition of respiration induced by jelly could be reversed by the addition of speract toL. pictusspermatozoa and by the addition of resact toA.punctulataspermatozoa. Speract stimulatedL. pictussperm respiration half-maximally at about 1 nM in the presence of either heterologous or homologous (speract-free) jelly. Monensin A, an ionophore which elevates sperm intracellular pH, reversed the jelly inhibition of respiration. These results demonstrate that two peptides associated with eggs (speract and resact) can stimulate sperm motility and metabolism in the face of inhibitory components present in the egg jelly. Additionally, the peptides demonstrate species specificity.
