(1) CD9-/-eggs are defect in fertilization, especially the fusion step with sperm.The fusion activity of CD9-/-eggs with sperm was recovered by the injection of CD9 mRNA into CD9-/-eggs. We constructed various mutant forms of CD9 mutants and examined their activities by injection their mRNA to CD9-/-eggs. These experiments suggestrd that the C-terminal domain of CD9 is essential for the recovery of fusion activity.(2) There are 29 members of the tetraspanins in C. elegans. We carried out RNA interference experiments for these tetraspanins to explore the role of tetraspanins in a whole animal. One of the tetraspanins, TSP-15, showed marked effect in body integrity. Present study opens new approach to analyse tetraspanins function by genetic methods.

(1) CD9-/-卵子在受精过程中存在缺陷，尤其是在与精子融合的过程中。将CD9 mRNA注入CD9-/-卵中，恢复CD9-/-卵与精子的融合活性。我们构建了各种形式的CD9突变体，并通过将其mRNA注射到CD9-/-卵中来检测其活性。这些实验表明，CD9的c端结构域对恢复融合活性至关重要。(2)秀丽隐杆线虫四跨蛋白共有29个成员。我们对这些四联蛋白进行了RNA干扰实验，探索四联蛋白在全动物中的作用。其中一种四葡聚糖，TSP-15，对机体完整性有显著影响。本研究开辟了用遗传学方法分析四跨蛋白功能的新途径。
