Abstract

The absence of the asinine category in the technical standards of seminal evaluation, promotes the need for reproductive information of this species. The objective of this study was to describe the proteomic profile of seminal plasma of Pêga donkeys (Equus asinus). Six pubertal animals, weighing 239±32.6 Kg and scrotal circumference of 36.8±6.9 cm, were raised in same farm in the state of Tocantins, Brazil. One-dimensional electrophoresis was performed using 12.5% acrylamide and 30μg protein. The bands were destained and digested with trypsin for analysis on ESI-Q-TOF mass spectrometer. Through bioinformatics, through the UniProtKB database, the proteins were identified. The terms of the genetic ontology were obtained from the software STRAP®. The mean protein concentration of seminal plasma was 23.6±12.6 μg/μL. At least 26 bands per animal were detected (QuantityOne®). A total of 19 bands and 52 proteins, with weights between 9.51 and 155.9 kDa, were identified by spectrometry. The most relevant biological processes related to the identified proteins were regulation (24%) and cellular process (22%). The molecular functions of the proteins were described as binding (42%) and catalytic activity (31%). In conclusion, the existence of a description of the electrophoretic pattern of these seminal plasma proteins will contribute to the construction of parameters for fertility.
Keywords: Proteomics, electrophoresis, semen.
