High throughput microinjections of sea urchin zygotes.
Microinjection into cells and embryos is a common technique that is used to study a wide range of biological processes. In this method a small amount of treatment solution is loaded into a microinjection needle that is used to physically inject individual immobilized cells or embryos. Despite the need for initial training to perform this procedure for high-throughput delivery, microinjection of...
متن کاملFeedback control of the metaphase-anaphase transition in sea urchin zygotes: role of maloriented chromosomes
To help ensure the fidelity of chromosome transmission during mitosis, sea urchin zygotes have feedback control mechanisms for the metaphase-anaphase transition that monitor the assembly of spindle microtubules and the complete absence of proper chromosome attachment to the spindle. The way in which these feedback controls work has not been known. In this study we directly test the proposal tha...
متن کاملNuclear envelope breakdown is under nuclear not cytoplasmic control in sea urchin zygotes
Nuclear envelope breakdown (NEB) and entry into mitosis are though to be driven by the activation of the p34cdc2-cyclin B kinase complex or mitosis promoting factor (MPF). Checkpoint control mechanisms that monitor essential preparatory events for mitosis, such as DNA replication, are thought to prevent entry into mitosis by downregulating MPF activation until these events are completed. Thus, ...
متن کاملHigh potassium effect on the mobility of sea urchin sperm.
tional folds are randomly disposed with respect to the long axis of the muscle fibre. The complexity in the shape and arrangement of these folds is fully displayed in this type of preparation (Fig. 2). Elevations of the muscle fibre which show a smooth surface and lack any cross striation are seen in and around the synaptic depression. The elevations undoubtedly correspond to the "terminal cone...
متن کاملSea urchin feeding fronts
Sea urchin feeding fronts are a striking example of spatial pattern formation in an ecological system. If it is assumed that urchins are asocial, and that they move randomly, then the formation of these dense fronts is an apparent paradox. The key lies in observations that urchins move further in areas where their algal food is less plentiful. This naturally leads to the accumulation of urchins...
