Proteins on sperm form a 'key' allowing it to fuse with an egg, new study finds
The team found that three proteins on the sperm join to form a sort of key that unlocks the egg, allowing the sperm to attach. Their findings, published in the journal Cell, drawn from studies in zebrafish, mice, and human cells, show how this process has persisted over millions of years of evolution.
Scientists discover how a sperm and egg fuse together like a 'lock and key'

AlphaFold reveals how sperm and egg hook up in intimate detail
AlphaFold predicted that three sperm proteins work together to form a complex. Two of these proteins were previously known to be important for fertility. Pauli and her colleagues then confirmed that the third is also critical for fertility in both zebrafish and mice, and that the three proteins interact with one another.
