DECOUPLING OF PROTEIN AND RNA SYNTHESIS DURING DEUTERIUM PARTHENOGENESIS IN SEA URCHIN EGGS

Journal Article · · Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications (U.S.)
The parthenogenetic activation of cell division and suppression of nucleic acid synthesis by deuterium in eggs of sea urchins was investigated. D/ sub 2/O treatment was found to evoke a high rate of protein synthesis in the eggs that was maintained for several hours. However, eggs whose protein synthesis was activated and that were making labeled cytasters showed no increment in RNA synthesis over controls. (P.C.H.)
