INCORPORATION AND METABOLISM OF S$sup 35$-METHIONINE DURING THE EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF THE SEA URCHIN EGG

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4292886
Results are reported from investigations in which methionine labelled with sulfur-35 was incorporated into sea urchin eggs. The incorporation was accomplished in the unfertilized egg, and the distribution of the tracer among the cell components was followed during development and in parthenogenetically activated eggs using cell fractionation and autoradiographic methods. Special attention was devoted to the mitochondria which appear to be unable to take up the tracer in the unfertilized eggs; the incorporation begins almost immediately after fertilization, however, and its rate increases exponentially. The metabolic pathways of the labelled compound were fo1lowed throughout development. (auth)
