Despite more than 40 years of intense study, essential features of the silkmoth chorion (eggshell) are still not fully understood. To determine the precise structure of the chorion locus, we performed extensive EST analysis, constructed a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) contig, and obtained a continuous genomic sequence of 871,711 base pairs. We annotated 127 chorion genes in two segments...
Two recessive female-sterile mutants, K451 and K1214 , disrupt chorion formation by causing underproduction of all major chorion proteins. We present evidence that this effect is due to underaccumulation of the chorion mRNAs and that, in turn, this is caused by a substantial reduction in the level of chorion gene amplification. The mutants are X-linked but located at two sites far from the chor...
The extractability of collagen was examined in different sites of amnion and chorion from term deliveries. Sequential extraction with NaCl, acetic acid and CaCl2 showed that soluble collagen accounted for 1.5% of the proteins extracted. Saline extracted more collagen from the amnion than from the chorion. Acetic acid and CaCl2 extracted decreasing and increasing amounts of collagen from the amn...
OBJECTIVE Bacterial colonization of the fetal membranes and its role in pathogenesis of membrane rupture is poorly understood. Prior retrospective work revealed chorion layer thinning in preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) subjects. Our objective was to prospectively examine fetal membrane chorion thinning and to correlate to bacterial presence in PPROM, preterm, and term subjects. ...
Using as criteria the size, abundance and developmental specificity of hybridizing mRNA sequences, we have selected from our chorion cDNA library a clone corresponding to a specific chorion protein, A4--cl. Comparison between the clone sequence and the largely known sequence of A4--cl validates the use of the cDNA library for sequence analysis of the chorion multigene families. The two major ch...
Human chorion can synthesize and metabolize progesterone, and changes in progesterone synthesis by chorion at term might be important in the processes leading to parturition. We examined whether other steroids present within the maternal compartment and amniotic fluid during late pregnancy influence progesterone output by explants of chorion. We also sought differences in steroid effects on pro...
The eggs of Dactylobiotus dispar, similar to other Tardigrada eggs, are covered with two shells: the vitelline envelope and the chorion. Ultrastructural studies have shown that the oocyte actively participates in the formation of both shells. The process of egg capsule formation begins at the midpoint of vitellogenesis. The chorion at first appears as isolated cones resulting from the exocytoti...
Laser Raman spectroscopy reveals extensive 13-pleated sheet structure in a silkmoth chorion. This structure characterizes both developing and mature chorion samples, a-helical structure is much less evident, but /]-turns appear to be abundant. In the immature chorion the sulfhyd~'ls are apparently found in diverse environments. The highly localized ffrosine residues appear to be strongly hydrog...
The zebrafish is a model organism for addressing questions of vertebrate embryo development. In this paper, the softening phenomenon of the chorion envelope of zebrafish embryos at different developmental stages was mechanically quantitated by using a microrobotic force sensing system. The microrobotic system integrates a piezoelectric cellular force sensor to measure the required forces for pe...
