Inhibitor of eukaryotic initiation factor 4F activity in unfertilized sea urchin eggs.
Extracts from unfertilized sea urchin eggs contain an inhibitor of translation that inhibits protein synthesis in cell-free translation systems from sea urchin embryos or rabbit reticulocytes. The inhibitory effects of egg extracts can be reversed by the addition of mammalian eukaryotic initiation factor 4F (eIF-4F) in both sea urchin embryo and reticulocyte systems, suggesting that the inhibit...
متن کاملCytasters induced within unfertilized sea-urchin eggs.
Conditions that induce the formation of asters in unfertilized sea-urchin eggs have been investigated. Monasters were formed by treatment of eggs with acidic or basic sea-water, or procaine- or thymol-containing sea-water. A second treatment step, incubation with D2O-containing, ethanol-containing or hypertonic sea-water induced multiple cytasters. The number and size of cytasters varied accord...
متن کاملUltrastructural localization of calcium in unfertilized sea-urchin eggs.
The pyroantimonate technique was employed to identify the binding sites for calcium in unfertilized Arbacia punctulata and Strongylocentrotus purpuratus eggs. Since antimony is non-specific and binds with a variety of cations, the indentification of calcium was established by specific chelation with ethyleneglycol tetra-acetic acid (EGTA) and X-ray microprobe analysis. Antimony deposits were ob...
متن کاملTurning on of activities in unfertilized sea urchin eggs: correlation with changes of the surface.
Unfertilized sea urchin eggs exposed to low concentrations of ammonia enter into a number of activities which normally appear after fertilization. It is shown that the effects are attributable to ammonia, rather than to NH4+ ions of elevated pH. The same effects are obtained by exposure to isotonic urea and to glycerol at very low ionic strengths. All treatments which produce these changes (suc...
متن کاملProperties of tubulin in unfertilized sea urchin eggs. Quantitation and characterization by the colchicine-binding reaction
The colchicine-binding assay was used to quantitate the tubulin concentration in unfertilized Strongylocentrotus purpuratus eggs and to characterize pharmacological properties of this tubulin. Specificity of colchicine binding to tubulin was demonstrated by apparent first-order decay colchicine-binding activity with stabilization by vinblastine sulfate, time and temperature dependence of the re...
