Abstract: | Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of RNA from Paracentrotus lividus embryos has shown this material to contain five RNA components of small molecular weight. The components are synthesized early in sea urchin development, simultaneously with tRNA and heterodisperse RNA. After the blastula stage, when synthesis of ribosomal RNA is activated, the labeling incorporated into small molecular weight RNA components constitutes a relatively decreasing proportion of the total labeling in RNA. When labeling is performed prior to the blastula stage, three of the small molecular weight RNA components are labeled to a similar or greater extent than “5” S RNA and the 26-ass RNA. The gel electrophoretic mobilities of the small molecular weight RNA components have been compared with those in Ehrlich ascites cells and found to be different. |
