O-10: A Marked Animal-Vegetal Polarity in The Localization of Na+,K+-ATPase Activity and Its Down-Regulation Following Progesterone-Induced Maturation
Background: Polarized cells are key to the process of differentiation. Xenopus oocyte is a polarized cell that has complete blue-print to differentiate 3 germ layers following fertilization, as key determinant molecules (Proteins and RNAs) are asymmetrically localized. The objective of this work was to localize Na+, K+-ATPase activity along animal-vegetal axis of polarized Xenopus oocyte and fo...
متن کاملMembrane junctions in xenopus eggs: their distribution suggests a role in calcium regulation
We have observed the presence of membrane junctions formed between the plasma membrane and cortical endoplasmic reticulum of mature, unactivated eggs of xenopus laevis. The parallel, paired membranes of the junction are separated by a 10-mn gap within which electron-dense material is present. This material occurs in patches with an average center-to-center distance of approximately 30 nm. These...
متن کاملSubcellular Metabolite and Lipid Analysis of Xenopus laevis Eggs by LAESI Mass Spectrometry
Xenopus laevis eggs are used as a biological model system for studying fertilization and early embryonic development in vertebrates. Most methods used for their molecular analysis require elaborate sample preparation including separate protocols for the water soluble and lipid components. In this study, laser ablation electrospray ionization (LAESI), an ambient ionization technique, was used fo...
متن کاملEvidence for the involvement of microtubules, ER, and kinesin in the cortical rotation of fertilized frog eggs
During the first cell cycle, the vegetal cortex of the fertilized frog egg is translocated over the cytoplasm. This process of cortical rotation creates regional cytoplasmic differences important in later development, and appears to involve an array of aligned microtubules that forms transiently beneath the vegetal cortex. We have investigated how these microtubules might be involved in generat...
متن کاملLocalised MPF activation and mitotic phosphorylation in fertilised Xenopus eggs.
In amphibians such as Xenopus laevis, the initial polarity of the oocyte is established during oogenesis to produce animal and vegetal hemispheres with extensive structural and compositional differences. The animal-vegetal polarity ot the egg is reinforced by "Surtace Contraction Waves" (SCWs), occurring immediately prior to each cleavage division (Hara et aI., 1980; Sawai, 1982). These are ins...
