High-quality frozen extracts of Xenopus laevis eggs reveal size-dependent control of metaphase spindle micromechanics
Cell-free extracts from unfertilized Xenopus laevis eggs offer the opportunity for a variety of biochemical and biophysical assays for analyzing essential cell cycle events such as metaphase spindle assembly. However, the extracts often exhibit substantial variation in quality and have low storage stability, factors that hamper their experimental utility. Here we report a simple two-step method...
متن کاملObtaining Eggs from Xenopus laevis Females
The eggs of Xenopus laevis intact, lysed, and/or fractionated are useful for a wide variety of experiments. This protocol shows how to induce egg laying, collect and dejelly the eggs, and sort the eggs to remove any damaged eggs.
متن کاملTwin Xenopus laevis embryos appearing from flattened eggs
Remarkable progress has recently been made in molecular biology of double axis formation in Xenopus laevis. Leaving aside, for the time being, the problem of the gene expressions regulating Xenopus laevis development, here I show that pulse treatment could induce formation of a secondary axis in a fertilized Xenopus laevis egg. At 3 min after insemination, metal oxides were added to Xenopus fer...
متن کاملXenopus laevis lectin is localized at several sites in Xenopus oocytes, eggs, and embryos
The endogenous lectin of Xenopus laevis oocytes, unfertilized eggs, and blastula-stage embryos was immunohistochemically localized using a highly specific antiserum. Each tissue was examined with several techniques, including paraformaldehyde or glutaraldehyde fixation, frozen or plastic sections, and immunofluorescence or immunoperoxidase staining. In oocytes and unfertilized eggs, lectin was ...
متن کاملPurification of a DNA-binding protein from Xenopus laevis unfertilized eggs.
A DNA-binding protein from Xenopus laevis unfertilized eggs has been purified to apparent homogeneity. It is a heat stable, lysine-rich protein and has a molecular weight corresponding to 8,200 daltons, measured by sodium dodecyl sulphate gel electrophoresis. The protein, which is active in a monomeric form, stimulates DNA polymerase alpha, and binds to single and double stranded DNA. One egg c...
