Abstract: | Newly synthesized proteins from normal and animalized sea urchin embryos were compared by the technique of double labeling. Total embryonic protein was solubilized in SDS, urea, and 2-mercaptoethanol. The proteins were examined by coelectrophoresis on an SDS-polyacrylamide gel. The gels were sliced and the radioactivity determined. A standardized ratio of the isotopes served as the basis of comparison. A comparison of newly synthesized proteins from normal embryos 24 and 48 h old showed a shift from larger to smaller molecular weight proteins. Animalized embryos showed a similar shift. When normal and animalized embryos of the same ages were compared, differences were found. The differences were distributed over the entire range of molecular weights. These results show that although differences in protein synthesis between animalized and normal embryos are evident by 24 h, most of the changes in protein synthesis that occur in normal embryos are unaffected by animalization. |
