Supplementary information

The PAWP protein also known as WW domain-binding protein 2 (WBP2 N-terminal-like protein) is a 16.5 kDa protein that plays an essential role in sperm function. PAWP is mainly expressed in the reproductive system specifically in spermatozoa. It contains a WW domain that enables interactions with other proteins. PAWP is an important component of the sperm head contributing significantly to sperm's ability to activate an egg during fertilization.
Biological function summary

PAWP is involved in egg activation and early embryonic development after fertilization. It functions as part of the sperm-borne oocyte-activating factors (SOAF) interacting with other proteins to facilitate calcium oscillations within the egg initiating embryonic development. These calcium oscillations are important for the release of intracellular stores needed for the embryo's start showcasing PAWP's vital role in reproductive biology.

Pathways

The PAWP protein plays a significant part in the calcium signaling pathway which is essential for fertilization and the subsequent onset of embryogenesis. PAWP interacts with phospholipase C zeta (PLCζ) another important protein in the pathway. Together they contribute to the regulation and generation of calcium signals necessary for successful fertilization and embryo development. These protein interactions position PAWP as a vital player within this pathway.

Disruptions in PAWP function link it to cases of male infertility due to its central role in sperm-mediated egg activation. Alterations or deficiencies in PAWP can impair fertilization processes leading to difficulties in conceiving. Additionally abnormalities in the calcium signaling pathway involving PAWP and PLCζ can be associated with early developmental disorders. Research into these dysfunctions highlights the importance of PAWP in understanding and potentially addressing reproductive health issues.
