Pre-M phase-promoting factor associates with annulate lamellae in Xenopus oocytes and egg extracts.
We have used complementary biochemical and in vivo approaches to study the compartmentalization of M phase-promoting factor (MPF) in prophase Xenopus eggs and oocytes. We first examined the distribution of MPF (Cdc2/CyclinB2) and membranous organelles in high-speed extracts of Xenopus eggs made during mitotic prophase. These extracts were found to lack mitochondria, Golgi membranes, and most en...
متن کاملAnnulate lamellae: comparison of antigenic epitopes of annulate lamellae membranes with the nuclear envelope
Annulate lamellae (AL) are a membranous structure frequently observed in differentiating gametes and tumor cells. In spite of numerous morphological studies, the function and biochemical composition of this membrane system are not well understood. In this study, we have examined the AL membrane system of vinblastine-treated mouse L cells using immunocytochemistry and Western blot analysis. Our ...
متن کاملNuclei and Microtubule Asters Stimulate Maturation/M Phase Promoting Factor (Mpf) Activation in Xenopus Eggs and Egg Cytoplasmic Extracts
Although maturation/M phase promoting factor (MPF) can activate autonomously in Xenopus egg cytoplasm, indirect evidence suggests that nuclei and centrosomes may focus activation within the cell. We have dissected the contribution of these structures to MPF activation in fertilized eggs and in egg fragments containing different combinations of nuclei, centrosomes, and microtubules by following ...
متن کاملFine Structure of Annulate Lamellae
Annulate lamellae represent a poorly understood class of cytomembranes (see references 14-18). The structural resemblance and proximity (in some cases) between the nuclear envelope and annulate lamellae have led to the concept that the annulate lamellae represent a product of the nuclear envelope although the methods propoundedly involved in the morphogenesis of annulate lamellae are indeed var...
متن کاملThe Fine Structure of Annulate Lamellae
Certain lamellar structures have been described from snail (Otala) and clam (Spisula) oocytes, the acinar cells of amphibian (Ambystoma) pancreas, and from rat spermatids. These structures are alike in possessing numerous rings or annuli, resembling those in the nuclear membrane. Thus the name "annulate lamellae" has been proposed for them. It is suggested that they may function in the transfer...
