Studies on Amphibian Yolk
The yolk platelets of mature eggs and young embryonic cells of all amphibian species studied (Rana pipiens, Triturus pyrrhogaster, Diemictylus viridescens, Rana nigromaculata, and Bufo vulgaris) have a superficial layer of fine particles or fibrils (ca. 50 A in diameter), a central main body with a crystalline lattice structure, and an enclosing membrane approximately 70 A in thickness. Electro...
متن کاملBiochemical Studies on Amphibian Metamorphosis
Thyroxine has been shown to accelerate the synthesis of carbamyl phosphate synthetase in the liver of Rana catesbeiana. Stimulation of carbamyl phosphate synthetase synthesis by thyroxine appears to be relatively specific because of the following observations: (1) succinoxidase activity decreased during the time that carbamyl phosphate synthetase increased; (2) liver catalase responded more slo...
متن کاملImmunofluorescence studies on amphibian myoblast differentiation.
Differentiating myoblasts from urodele amphibians were cultivated in vitro and treated by immunofluorescence techniques and (or) inhibitors of RNA and protein syntheses. These experiments lead to the conclusion that the differentiation of these cells is directed by long-lived m-RNAs which are already present in morphologically undifferentiated cells and may act for at least 6 days. Contrary to ...
متن کاملStudies on the Isolation of Metaphase Chromosomes
A method for the isolation of metaphase chromosomes from mouse L1210 leukemia cells has been developed. Cells, arrested at metaphase with colchicine, were exposed to hypotonic solution and the pH was then adjusted to 5.6 to stabilize the chromosomes. The metaphase figures were subsequently disrupted and the chromosomes isolated by a series of differential centrifugations in sucrose. The isolate...
متن کاملOrigin of amphibian and avian chromosomes by fission, fusion, and retention of ancestral chromosomes.
Amphibian genomes differ greatly in DNA content and chromosome size, morphology, and number. Investigations of this diversity are needed to identify mechanisms that have shaped the evolution of vertebrate genomes. We used comparative mapping to investigate the organization of genes in the Mexican axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum), a species that presents relatively few chromosomes (n = 14) and a gi...
