The precise origin of the primary yolk precursor complex or primary vesicular yolk is obscure but in its earliest recognizable stage it is a typical multivesicular body which first acquires a moderately electron-dark matrix. Following this, an extremely electron-dark amorphous material, the yolk protein, appears within the precursor. This yolk protein increases in amount as the yolk vesicle grows and by the time the precursors are about 1 micrometer in diameter this protein is partly to almost completely crystalline. Yolk originating within mitochondrial cristae unlike that in the yolk precursor complexes is crystalline from its earliest appearance. Intracristae mitochondrial yolk crystals have a spacing of 70--85 A. Their molecular organization appears in some sections as electron-dark lamellae and in others as light cylinders surrounded by an electron-dark matrix. 相似文献

Electron microscope studies on Necturus maculosus oocytes ranging in size from 1.1–1.5 mm in diameter indicate the primary proteinaceous yolk to arise within structures referred to in other amphibian oocytes as yolk precursor sacs or bodies. The origin of these yolk precursor sacs appears to result from the activity of the Golgi complexes which form multivesicular and granular-vesicular bodies, the limiting membrane of which is at times incomplete. During differentiation, the yolk precursor sacs contain small vesicles similar in size to Golgi vesicles, larger vesicles similar to vesicular elements of the agranular endoplasmic reticulum and, on occasion, a portion of a mitochondrion. The interior of these sacs becomes granular, perhaps by a dissolution of the components just described, and soon becomes organized into a crystalline configuration. In oocytes 2.0–2.5 mm in diameter, an extensive micropinocytotic activity begins, continues throughout vitellogenesis, and constitutes the primary mechanism for the formation of secondary yolk protein. Numerous coated and smooth-surfaced vesicles, as well as electron-dense and electronlucent ones, fuse in the cortical ooplasm to form progressively larger yolk platelets. 相似文献

The formation of protein-carbohydrate yolk in the statoblast of a fresh-water bryozoan, Pectinatella gelatinosa, was studied by electron microscopy. Two types (I and II) of yolk cells were distinguished. The type I yolk cells are mononucleate and comprise a large majority of the yolk cells. The type II yolk cells are small in number; they become multinucleate by fusion of cells at an early stage of vitellogenesis. In both types of yolk cells, electron-dense granules (dense bodies) are formed in Golgi or condensing vacuoles, which are then called yolk granules. For the formation of yolk granules, the following processes are considered: 1. Yolk protein is synthesized in the rough-surfaced endoplasmic reticulum (RER) of the yolk cells. 2. The synthesized protein condenses in the cisternal space of the RER and is packaged into small oval swellings, which are then released from the RER as small vesicles (Golgi vesicles, 300-600 A in diameter). 3. The small vesicles fuse with one another to form condensing vacuoles, or with pre-existing growing yolk granules. 4. In the matrix of the condensing vacuoles or growing yolk granules, electron-dense fibers are fabricated and then arranged in a paracrystalline pattern to form the dense body. 5. After the dense body reaches its full size, excess membrane is removed and eventually the yolk granules come to mature. Toward the end of vitellogenesis of the yolk cells, the cytoplasmic organelles are ingested by autophagosomes derived from multivesicular bodies and disappear. 相似文献

Summary In Ophryotrocha labronica LaGreca & Bacci mature yolk granules are found only in the ovocyte. Other typical yolk elements are lipid droplets, small vesicular bodies, multivesicular bodies and dense bodies. The two last-mentioned also appear in the accompanying nurse cell and from there obviously pass over unchanged into the ovocyte through a specific intercellular bridge, the fusome.The mature yolk granules are considered as aggregates of mitochondrial, endoplasmic and Golgi material, to which also is added pinocytotically incorporated external material. Mitochondria apparently play a fundamental role in the process, as the multivesicular bodies, most likely the direct precursors to the yolk granules, in all probability represent transformed mitochondria.Labelling with 3H-thymidine during vitellogenesis reveals presence of DNA in the yolk granules. From the labelling pattern, which shows DNA-synthesis both in the ovocyte and the nurse cell nucleus, it is concluded that the labelled material present in the cytoplasm of both cells — most of it in yolk granules and dense bodies — is of nuclear origin. The possible mitochondrial nature of yolk granule DNA is discussed.The author is indebted to Dr. Bertil Åkesson, Zoological Institute, Lund, for kindly supplying the initital material for the Ophryotrocha cultures.

Yolk formation in the oocytes of the free-living, marine copepod, Labidocera aestiva (order Calanoida) involves both autosynthetic and heterosynthetic processes. Three morphologically distinct forms of endogenous yolk are produced in the early vitellogenic stages. Type 1 yolk spheres are formed by the accumulation and fusion of dense granules within vesicular and lamellar cisternae of endoplasmic reticulum. A granular form of type 1 yolk, in which the dense granules within the cisternae of endoplasmic reticulum do not fuse, appears to be synthesized by the combined activity of endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complexes. Type 2 yolk bodies subsequently appear in the ooplasm but their formation could not be attributed to any particular oocytic organelle. In the advanced stages of vitellogenesis, a single narrow layer of follicle cells becomes more developed and forms extensive interdigitations with the oocytes. Extra-oocytic yolk precursors appear to pass from the hemolymph into the follicle cells and subsequently into the oocytes via micropinocytosis. Pinocytotic vesicles fuse in the cortical ooplasm to form heterosynthetically derived type 3 yolk bodies. 相似文献

Summary Electron and light microscopical investigations of early oocytes (between 1.0 mm and 5.0 mm in diameter) from the ovary of 28–30 week-old chickens, suggested the formation of primordial yolk granules from cytoplasmic vesicles. These vesicles formed an aggregation which was observed to be surrounded by membranes, giving the aggregate a multivesicular body-like appearance. At a later stage the vesicles inside the membrane disintegrated and the multivesicular bodies acquired the appearance of primordial yolk granules. The contribution of other structures to the formation of yolk granules is discussed.For constructive criticism I am very grateful to Dr. Hadar Emanuelsson, Institute of Zoophysiology, Lund.

Formation of nuclear envelopes during the last cleavage mitosis and the formation of the cell membranes during the cellularization of the blastoderm have been studied ultrastructurally in the blowfly egg. Dense bodies arising from yolk granules by budding could contain membrane material destined to be incorporated into the new membranes of the blastoderm. The presence of transitional structures indicates that these bodies can be converted into dark multivesicular bodies. Large amounts of endoplasmic reticulum are found around the mitotic nuclei. Clusters or branched chains of vesicles associated with this are interpreted as evidence for the formation of endoplasmic reticulum by the breakdown of dark multivesicular bodies. Nuclear envelopes of mitotic daughter nuclei probably originate from endoplasmic reticulum. The egg contains both intranuclear and extranuclear annulate lamellae. The main events of cytokinesis are furrow initiation and cell membrane growth during the slow first phase, but probably only cytokinetic movement during the rapid second phase. On the assumption that cell membrane growth occurs by incorporation of complete membrane pieces, the addition of coated vesicles and/or light multivesicular bodies is definitely most probable. Some intermediate profiles indicate that light and dark multivesicular bodies are related. The membrane needed for second phase cytokinesis could well be provided by the unfolding of surface microvilli and protuberances of the furrow canal. 相似文献

Yolk spheres present in mature invertebrate oocytes are composed of yolk proteins and proteolytic enzymes. In the fly Musca domestica, yolk proteins are degraded during embryogenesis by a cathepsin-like proteinase that is stored as a zymogen. An acid phosphatase is also active in the yolk spheres during Musca embryogenesis. In this paper we show that procathepsin and acid phosphatase are initially stored by a different pathway from the one followed by yolk protein precursors. Both enzymes are taken up by the oocytes and transitorily stored into small vesicles (lysosomes) surrounding the early yolk spheres. Fusion of both structures, the early yolk spheres and lysosomes, creates the mature yolk spheres. 相似文献

The histology of the ovotestis was studied by light and electron microscopy in two nudibranch gastropod species. While in Hypselodoris tricolor the ovotestis is intimately associated with the digestive gland tissue, the large gonadal mass of Godiva banyulensis is placed freely in the haemocoele. This fact results in great histological differences between both species. As is common among Mollusca, the immature yolk granule in Hypselodoris and Godiva presumably originates from membrane-rich cytoplasmic inclusions, which we have termed dense multivesicular bodies. Such inclusions consist of an outer membrane enclosing membrane remnants and a granular, electron-dense material. These elements are accumulated and mixed in the center of the dense multivesicular body and could be actually transformed into the paracrystalline core of the immature yolk granule, the cortex of which is made up of part of the central accumulation materials that have not spread into the crystal. During vitellogenesis, some mitochondria are subjected to a process of transformation affecting mainly their inner membrane (including mitochondrial cristae) and matrix. However, the conversion of modified mitochondria into yolk precursors, as reported for other gastropod species, could not be determined with absolute certainty on the basis of our observations on static material. The mature yolk granule consists of a central paracrystalline core, similar in structure to that of the immature yolk granule, and a peripheral membranous cortex, which seems to spread centripetally, thus permitting the crystal to grow. The cortical material consumed in synthesizing the central core appears to be restored by addition of degenerative mitochondria to the yolk granule surface. 相似文献

Summary The development of the mouse oocyte during the primordial, primary and secondary follicular growth stages was studied by means of the electron microscope.During the early stages of oocyte maturation, mitochondrial multiplication takes place along with an apparent temporary transition from round to oval shape. The internal structure of many of the mitochondria is altered by separation of membranes of a crista to form a vacuole. This enlarges to pear-shaped configurations and gradually it forms so large a structure as to result in compression of adjacent cristae, thereby altering the entire appearance of the organelle.Dense round bodies encapsulated by a single membrane are found in the cytoplasm of oocytes of primary follicles near the periphery. The Golgi complex appears in primary follicle oocytes as an aggregation of vesicles. Gradually the number of lamellae in the complexes increase and these organelles become more peripherally located. The Balbiani yolk nuclei apparently is represented by a conglomeration of Golgi complexes and are present only in primordial and young primary follicle oocytes.The endoplasmic reticulum appears in the early stages only as rough-surfaced vesicles. At later stages individual cisternae become prominent. Apparently, a modified form of E. R. appears during maturation of the secondary follicle oocyte.Multivesicular complexes, each consisting of two components, small vesicles and larger vesicles enclosing microvesicles (multivesicular bodies), were commonly found during all stages of oocyte growth. The secondary follicle oocytes frequently contain multilamellar bodies. These are commonly found in juxtaposition to the multivesicular complexes and also near the egg periphery and occasionally near the nuclear envelope.This investigation was supported by a Public Health Service Research Career Program Award (5-K3-HD-5356-07) from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. 相似文献

The role of coated vesicles during the absorption of horseradish peroxidase was investigated in the epithelium of the rat vas deferens by electron microscopy and cytochemistry. Peroxidase was introduced into the vas lumen in vivo. Tissue was excised at selected intervals, fixed in formaldehyde-glutaraldehyde, sectioned without freezing, incubated in Karnovsky's medium, postfixed in OsO4, and processed for electron microscopy. Some controls and peroxidase-perfused specimens were incubated with TPP,1 GP, and CMP. Attention was focused on the Golgi complex, apical multivesicular bodies, and two populations of coated vesicles; large (> 1000 A) ones concentrated in the apical cytoplasm and small (<750 A) ones found primarily in the Golgi region. 10 min after peroxidase injection, the tracer is found adhering to the surface plasmalemma, concentrated in bristle-coated invaginations, and within large coated vesicles. After 20–45 min, it is present in large smooth vesicles, apical multivesicular bodies, and dense bodies. Peroxidase is not seen in small coated vesicles at any interval. Counts of small coated vesicles reveal that during peroxidase absorption they first increase in number in the Golgi region and later, in the apical cytoplasm. In both control and peroxidase-perfused specimens incubated with TPP, reaction product is seen in several Golgi cisternae and in small coated vesicles in the Golgi region. With GP, reaction product is seen in one to two Golgi cisternae, multivesicular bodies, dense bodies, and small coated vesicles present in the Golgi region or near multivesicular bodies. The results demonstrate that (a) this epithelium functions in the absorption of protein from the duct lumen, (b) large coated vesicles serve as heterophagosomes to transport absorbed protein to lysosomes, and (c) some small coated vesicles serve as primary lysosomes to transport hydrolytic enzymes from the Golgi complex to multivesicular bodies. 相似文献

ESCRT (endosomal sorting complex required for transport) proteins were originally identified for their role in delivering endocytosed proteins to the intraluminal vesicles of late-endosomal structures termed multivesicular bodies. Multivesicular bodies then fuse with lysosomes, leading to degradation of the internalized proteins. Four ESCRT complexes interact to concentrate cargo on the endosomal membrane, induce membrane curvature to form an intraluminal bud and finally pinch off the bud through a membrane-scission event to produce the intraluminal vesicle. Recent work suggests that ESCRT proteins are also required downstream of these events to enable fusion of multivesicular bodies with lysosomes. Autophagy is a related pathway required for the degradation of organelles, long-lived proteins and protein aggregates which also converges on lysosomes. The proteins or organelle to be degraded are encapsulated by an autophagosome that fuses either directly with a lysosome or with an endosome to form an amphisome, which then fuses with a lysosome. A common machinery is beginning to emerge that regulates fusion events in the multivesicular body and autophagy pathways, and we focus in the present paper on the role of ESCRT proteins. These fusion events have been implicated in diseases including frontotemporal dementia, Alzheimer's disease, lysosomal storage disorders, myopathies and bacterial pathogen invasion, and therefore further examination of the mechanisms involved may lead to new insight into disease pathogenesis and treatments. 相似文献

Exosomes are small membrane vesicles that intracellularly accumulate into late or multivesicular endosomes (multivesicular bodies, MVB). Exosomes have a particular lipid and protein content, reflecting their origin as intraluminal vesicles of late endosomes. The stimulation of several hematopoietic cells induces the fusion of the limiting membrane of the MVB with the plasma membrane, leading to the release of exosomes towards the extracellular environment. In T lymphocytes, stimulation of the T cell receptor (TCR) induces the fusion of the MVBs with the plasma membrane and exosomes carrying several bio-active proteins are secreted. Among these proteins, the pro-apoptotic protein Fas ligand (FasL) is released as a non-proteolysed form (mFasL), associated to the exosomes. These mFasL-bearing exosomes may trigger the apoptosis of T lymphocytes. Here, we present evidences supporting a role of diacylglycerol kinase alpha (DGKalpha), a diacylglycerol (DAG)-consuming enzyme, on the secretion of exosomes carrying mFasL, and the subsequent activation-induced cell death (AICD) on a T cell line and primary T lymphoblasts. 相似文献

Three unusual highly ordered configurations of yolk protein in yolk precursor bodies are described. These differ from the crystalline structure of the main body of mature yolk platelets. One of these is an aggregation of paired membranes with a spacing of about 100 Å between the members of a pair. The paired membranes of such an aggregation may be straight, parallel, and very close together; they may appear as a tight whorl; or they may display an intermediate random arrangement with varying distances between pairs. Another configuration is a tubule with a diameter of about 450 Å, whose wall appears in cross section to consist of particles measuring 50 × 100 Å. A third configuration is a crystalline array of rows of angular-shaped particles with a spacing of about 160 Å. It is suggested that these may represent intermediates in the transition of vitellogenin to lipovitellin and phosvitin. 相似文献

Dove ovarian follicle is a complex structure composed of oocyte surrounded by a somatic compartment consisting of theca externa, theca interna and granulosa. The structure of ovarian follicle (1 and 2 mm) of dove was studied by electron microscopy. The granulosa was pseudostratified in the 1-mm-diameter follicles and stratified with two or three irregular rows of cells in the 2-mm-diameter follicles. In the larger follicle indentations between oocyte and granulosa cells become more numerous and the microvilli of granulosa cell elongated to form a zona radiata with similarly elongated oocyte microvilli. Lining bodies were present at the tips of granulosa microvilli and in the cortical region of the oocyte. In the oocyte cortex were observed coated pits, coated vesicles, dense tubules, multivesicular bodies and primordial yolk spheres. Primordial yolk spheres may contain lining bodies and were observed fused with dense tubules and multivesicular bodies or associated with smooth cisternae. 相似文献

The present study analyses, by transmission electron microscopy, vitellogenesis in two anuran amphibian families: Leptodactilidae (Ceratophrys cranwelli) and Bufonidae (Bufo arenarum). These differ in the type of stimulus that sets off their reproductive period, pluvial changes being the trigger in C. cranwelli and temperature increase in B. arenarum. We found that vitellogenesis follows an endocytic pathway that involves membranous structures (coated pits, coated vesicles, endosomes and multivesicular bodies). This process results in a fully grown yolk platelet of similar structure in both species. Despite the above similarity, a distinctive feature in B. arenarum was that the multivesicular bodies exhibited condensed proteins together with lipid droplets, the latter remaining as such even in the primordial yolk platelet. In C. cranwelli, however, lipids droplets were only found attached to the primordial yolk platelet. The coexistence of lipid droplets together with proteins in the nascent precursor yolk platelets observed in B. arenarum is similar to that found in B. marinus. This fact might constitute a characteristic feature of the Bufonidae family. 相似文献

Fine structure of the developing oocytes in adultArgas (Persicargas) arboreus (Ixodoidea: Argasidae)

The structure of the developing oocytes in the ovary of unfed and fed femaleArgas (Persicargas) arboreus is described as seen by scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscopy. The unfed female ovary contains small oocytes protruding onto the surface and its epithelium consists of interstitial cells, oogonia and young oocytes. Feeding initiates oocyte growth through the previtellogenic and vitellogenic phases of development. These phases can be observed by SEM in the same ovary.The surface of isolated, growing oocytes is covered by microvilli which closely contact the basal lamina investing the ovarian epithelium and contains a shallow, circular area with cytoplasmic projections and a deep pit, or micropyle, at the epithelium side. In more advanced oocytes the shell is deposited between microvilli and later completely covers the surface.Transmission EM of growing oocytes in the previtellogenic phase reveals nuclear and nucleolar activity in the emission of dense granules passing into the cytoplasm and the formation of surface microvilli. The cell cytoplasm is rich in free ribosomes and polysomes and contains several dictyosomes associated with dense vesicles and mitochondria which undergo morphogenic changes as growth proceeds. Membrane-limited multivesiculate bodies, probably originating from modified mitochondria, dictyosomes and ribosomal aggregates, are also observed. Rough endoplasmic reticulum is in the form of annulate lamellae. During vitellogenesis, proteinaceous yolk bodies are formed by both endogenous and exogenous sources. The former is involved in the formation of multivesicular bodies which become primary yolk bodies, whereas the latter process involves internalization from the haemolymph through micropinocytosis in pits, vesicles and reservoirs. These fuse with the primary yolk bodies forming large yolk spheres. Glycogen and lipid inclusions are found in the cytoplasm between the yolk spheres. 相似文献

Runcina is a hermaphroditic opisthobranch mollusc of small size. It produces large eggs, rich in yolk substances, and it is thus ideal for studying the mechanisms of vitellogenesis. The rough endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus appear to be involved in early build up of yolk precursors. Endocytotic vesicles carrying yolk proteins, taken up from the haemolymph, dominate yolk formation at a later stage. The findings presented in this study enhance the proposition of a dual pathway of auto- and heterosynthesis in yolk formation. It is not found that the yolk bodies in Runcina acquire lysosomal enzymes in order to digest the perivitelline fluid, as has been described for some pulmonates. The importance of the role played by the follicle cells in oocyte development is discussed. 相似文献

Hormonally mediated maternal effects link maternal phenotype and environmental conditions to offspring phenotype. The production of lipid-rich maternal yolk precursors may provide a mechanism by which lipophilic steroid hormones can be transported to developing yolks, thus predicting a positive correlation between yolk precursors in mothers and androgen levels in eggs. Using rockhopper penguins (Eudyptes chrysocome), which produce a two-egg clutch characterized by extreme egg-size dimorphism, reversed hatching asynchrony and brood-reduction, we examined correlations between circulating concentrations of the primary yolk-precursor vitellogenin (VTG) and levels of yolk androgens. Previous work in Eudyptes penguins has shown that egg-size dimorphism is the product of migratory constraints on yolk precursor production. We predicted that if yolk precursors are constrained, androgen transport to developing yolks would be similarly constrained. We reveal positive linear relationships between maternal VTG and androgens in small A-eggs but not larger B-eggs, which is consistent with a migratory constraint operating on the A-egg. Results suggest that intra-clutch variation in total yolk androgen levels depends on the production and uptake of yolk precursors. The brood reduction strategy common to Eudyptes might thus be best described as the result of a migratory constraint. 相似文献
