Abstract:The total RNA of ovulated mouse ova has been examined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The amount of RNA present in the two main peaks observed, 28 S and 18 S ribosomal RNA, has been estimated as 0.20 ng.The RNA of ovulated mouse ova was labeled by exposure of growing mouse oocytes to adenosine-8-3H in vivo. For this purpose a small volume of a concentrated solution of the precursor was injected into the ovarian bursa, and ova were collected by superovulation at various subsequent times. The major growth phase of the oocyte is known to lie between 20 and 6 days before ovulation. Significant incorporation into egg RNA was observed when bursal injection was performed between 19 and 7 days, but not between 5 days and 1 day before ovulation.The types of labeled RNA in ova ovulated at five intervals between 19 and 7 days after bursal injection of adenosine-8-3H or uridine-5,6-3H were analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The distribution of label on the gels demonstrated that the bulk of the label appeared in ribosomal RNA and transfer RNA. In addition labeled heterogeneous RNA was estimated to represent 10–15% of the total incorporation.
