چکیده
The authors would like to express their gratitude to Dr. L. Lindholm, Department of Bacteriology, for his instruction in and assistance with the fluorescent antibody technique. They would also like to thank Mrs. K. Bjurstam for excellent technical assistance. The antiserum prepared against rabbit protein S100 was kindly given by Dr. L. Levine, Department of Bacteriology, Brandeis University, Waltham, Massachusetts, and by Dr. A. Rubin, Cornell Medical School, New York.

An inverse relation between the rate of cell division and RNA synthesis per cell in developing frog embryos.
Previous work has shown that endoderm cells synthesize more RNA per cell, including nuclear d-RNA, than do dorsal ectoderm-mesoderm cells (Flickinger, Miyagi, Moser & Rollins, 1967; Woodland & Gurdon, 1968). Both groups found lower levels of DNA synthesis in endoderm cells compared to dorsal ectodermmesoderm cells. It has also been found that in developing frog embryos both LiCl and cytosine ar...
متن کاملThe initiation of new gene transcription during Xenopus gastrulation requires immediately preceding protein synthesis.
The incubation of Xenopus embryo fragments in cycloheximide at 5 or 10 micrograms ml-1 rapidly inhibits protein synthesis to 10% or less of control levels. In most batches of embryos, treatment with cycloheximide for up to 1 h causes no obvious cellular damage and protein synthesis is fully restored to normal levels 5 h later. Transcript analysis with RNA probes shows that the inhibition of pro...
متن کاملProtein synthesis and messenger RNA levels along the animal-vegetal axis during early Xenopus development.
The patterns of proteins synthesized in animal and vegetal regions of Xenopus oocytes, eggs and embryos were examined by 2D gel electrophoresis. In oocytes and eggs, the only proteins synthesized asymmetrically along the animal-vegetal axis were a small number of proteins synthesized predominantly in the vegetal hemisphere. At the cleavage stage there were a total of four proteins synthesized u...
متن کاملSELECTIVE INHIBITION OF GENETIC TRANSCRIPTION IN SEA URCHIN EMBRYOS Incorporation of 5-Bromodeoxyuridine into Low Molecular Weight Nuclear DNA
Experimental evidence suggests that exposure of sea urchin gastrulae to 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BUdR), an analog of thymidine, causes a reduction in the rate of synthesis of some RNA species usually transcribed at this stage of development . In pulse-chase experiments, 3H (in gastrula stage 8-15S nuclear DNA labeled with BUdR3H) could not be chased, with unlabeled BUdR, into 20-60S size-range DNA ...

Experimental evidence suggests that exposure of sea urchin gastrulae to 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BUdR), an analog of thymidine, causes a reduction in the rate of synthesis of some RNA species usually transcribed at this stage of development. In pulse-chase experiments, (3)H (in gastrula stage 8-15S nuclear DNA labeled with BUdR-(3)H) could not be chased, with unlabeled BUdR, into 20-60S size-range ...
