Results from bulk cyclic AMP (cAMP) assays conducted to investigate the role of soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) in sperm from the gonochoric, broadcast spawning coral Astrangia poculata

Most stony corals liberate their gametes into the water column via broadcast spawning, where fertilization hinges upon the activation of directional sperm motility. Sperm from gonochoric and hermaphroditic corals display distinct morphological and molecular phenotypes, yet it is unknown whether the signallng pathways controlling sperm motility are also distinct between these sexual systems. We addressed this knowledge gap using the gonochoric, broadcast spawning coral Astrangia poculata. This dataset is from bulk cyclic AMP (cAMP) assays conducted to investigate the role of soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) in sperm. Data are associated with Glass et al. (2023) Proceedings of the Royal Society B (10.1098/rspb.2023.0085). These data are also published in Dryad under DOI 10.5061/dryad.rn8pk0pg8.

多数石珊瑚通过体外排放繁殖（broadcast spawning）将配子释放至水体中，其受精过程依赖于定向精子运动的激活。雌雄异体（gonochoric）与雌雄同体（hermaphroditic）珊瑚的精子表现出显著不同的形态与分子表型，但目前尚不清楚这两类生殖系统中调控精子运动的信号通路是否同样存在差异。为填补这一研究空白，本研究选用雌雄异体、体外排放繁殖的星状珊瑚（Astrangia poculata）作为实验材料。本数据集源自为探究可溶性腺苷酸环化酶（soluble adenylyl cyclase, sAC）在精子中的作用而开展的批量环腺苷酸（cyclic AMP, cAMP）检测实验。本数据集关联Glass等人2023年发表于《英国皇家学会学报B辑》（Proceedings of the Royal Society B）的研究成果（DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2023.0085）。本数据集同时已在Dryad数据库以DOI: 10.5061/dryad.rn8pk0pg8正式发布。
