چکیده
A cDNA with 2.3 kb encoding F1-F0 ATP synthase (proton ATPase) beta-subunit homologue was isolated from a testis cDNA library of the sea urchin, Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus. The deduced amino acid sequence consisted of 523 residues which contained a 19-residue amino-terminal signal peptide and a 8-residue glycine-rich consensus sequences. Analysis of poly(A) +RNA and/or total RNA from H. pulcherrimus testis, ovary, unfertilized eggs, and embryos by Northern blot revealed a 2.4 kb RNA.

The nucleotide sequences of 5S rRNAs from a sea-cucumber, a starfish and a sea-urchin.
The nucleotide sequences of 5S rRNA from three echinoderms, a sea-cucumber Stichopus oshimae, a starfish Asterina pectinifera and a sea-urchin Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus have been determined. These 5S rRNAs are all 120 nucleotides long. The echinoderm sequences are more related to the sequences of proterostomes animals such as mollusc, annelids and some others (87% identity on average) than to ...
متن کاملT-brain homologue (HpTb) is involved in the archenteron induction signals of micromere descendant cells in the sea urchin embryo.
Signals from micromere descendants play a crucial role in sea urchin development. In this study, we demonstrate that these micromere descendants express HpTb, a T-brain homolog of Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus. HpTb is expressed transiently from the hatched blastula stage through the mesenchyme blastula stage to the gastrula stage. By a combination of embryo microsurgery and antisense morpholino e...
متن کاملAnalysis of cis-regulatory elements controlling spatio-temporal expression of T-brain gene in sea urchin, Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus
In sea urchin development, micromere descendants play important roles in skeletogenesis and induction of gastrulation. We previously reported that the T-brain homolog of sea urchin Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus, HpTb expresses specifically in micromere descendants and is required for induction of gastrulation and skeletogenesis. Thus, HpTb is thought to play important roles in the function of micr...

A cDNA cione encoding the membrane form of guanylyl cyclase was isolated from a Hemicentrotus pulcherrT'mus testis cDNA library and its nucleotide sequence was determined. The cDNA was 4123 bp long and an open reading frame predicted a protein ot 1125 amino acids including an apparent signal peptide of 21 residues; a single transmembrane domain of 25 amino acids which dMdes the mature protein i...
متن کاملATP-driven tubule extrusion from axonemes without outer dynein arms of sea-urchin sperm flagella.
We have prepared axonemes without outer dynein arms from sea-urchin (Pseudocentrotus depressus, Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus) sperm flagella by selective solubilization with NaCl. Electron microscopy revealed that the axonemes gradually lost their outer arms in 0.5 M NaCl during 10 min. Such axonemes retained 42.8 +/- 7.3% of their total axonemal ATPase activity and showed C, A, D and B bands in ...
