SEMG1 Gene

Name semenogelin I
Description The protein encoded by this gene is the predominant protein in semen. The encoded secreted protein is involved in the formation of a gel matrix that encases ejaculated spermatozoa. This preproprotein is proteolytically processed by the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) protease to generate multiple peptide products that exhibit distinct functions. One of these peptides, SgI-29, is an antimicrobial peptide with antibacterial activity. This proteolysis process also breaks down the gel matrix and allows the spermatozoa to move more freely. This gene and another similar semenogelin gene are present in a gene cluster on chromosome 20. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]
Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nSemenogelin I (SEMG1) is a predominant secretory protein produced primarily in the seminal vesicles that forms the structural backbone of the semen coagulum. Upon ejaculation, SEMG1 is proteolytically cleaved by enzymes such as prostate‐specific antigen (PSA), yielding bioactive fragments. These cleavage products modulate sperm function by inhibiting progressive motility—often via interactions with binding partners such as the epididymal protease inhibitor EPPIN—and contribute to sperm protection. In some instances, SEMG1‐derived peptides also assemble into amyloid fibrils that enhance HIV infection and display potent antibacterial activity, underscoring its central role in both sperm immobilization and innate antimicrobial defense."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "10"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nAt the molecular and biophysical levels, SEMG1 exhibits high affinity for Zn²⁺, a property that significantly influences its tertiary structure and, as a consequence, its enzymatic processing during semen liquefaction. Structural determinants—such as the evolutionarily conserved Cys239 residue—are critical for its binding to proteins like EPPIN, and these attributes appear to have undergone positive selection to optimize sperm surface interactions and fertility regulation. Beyond its well‐established reproductive functions, SEMG1 is increasingly recognized as a member of the cancer–testis antigen family; altered expression patterns and proteolytic modifications have been observed in malignant conditions, suggesting roles in modulating energy metabolism and serving as diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers in cancers."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "11", "end_ref": "20"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nFurthermore, genetic and clinical studies have linked variations in SEMG1 to altered semen parameters and idiopathic infertility—such as asthenozoospermia—as well as to microsatellite instability in certain tumors, suggesting broader implications in reproductive health and tumorigenesis. SEMG1 also interacts with other seminal plasma factors (for example, the prolactin inducible protein), which further refines sperm functionality.
