Maturation and fertilization inLottia giganteaoocytes: Intracellular pH, Ca2+, and electrophysiology
Publikováno v:
Journal of Experimental Zoology. 290:411-420
Intracellular pH and Ca(2+) were measured with BCECF- and Calcium Green-dextran during maturation and fertilization of oocytes of the limpet Lottia gigantea. Maturation of oocytes from prophase to metaphase I of meiosis was induced in seawater adjust

Summary This article reviews current knowledge about sperm; egg interactions and the initiation of development in Urechis caupo with emphasis on molecular mechanisms. Some important questions that remain to be answered are also indicated.

Microinjection through the tough vitelline coats of oocytes from three molluscan species (Haliotis rufescens, Norrisia norrisi, and Astrea undosa) was facilitated by the local appli- cation of sperm vitelline coat lysin with a micropipet. Extracts co

A peptide (P23) isolated from sperm acrosomal protein initiates development in eggs of the marine worm Urechis caupo (Echiura). However, in these earlier experiments the eggs were exposed continuously to P23 and did not cleave unless they were provid

How sperm initiate egg development is being investigated with gametes of the marine worm Urechis. Sperm acrosomal protein, previously shown to activate eggs ( Gould et al., 1986, Dev. Biol. 117, 306–318 ; Gould and Stephano, 1987, Science 235, 1654

Oocytes of Crassostrea gigas and Mytilus galloprovincialis are arrested in metaphase I when they are spawned and ready to be fertilized. To investigate the role of MAP kinase in maintaining metaphase I arrest, oocytes were exposed to the MEK inhibito

In marine invertebrates, as in most other organisms, normal development requires that only one sperm nucleus joins with the egg nucleus at fertilization. The principal mechanisms employed are (1) prevention of sperm-egg plasma membrane fusion and (2)

A peptide (P23) isolated from sperm acrosomal protein initiates development in eggs of the marine worm Urechis caupo. We have shown previously that eggs exposed to P23 for > or = 3 min complete meiosis but fail to cleave. However, a brief (1.5-2 min)

Intracellular pH (pHi) was measured in Urechis caupo (Echiura) eggs during fertilization using the pH-sensitive dye BCECF [bis(carboxyethyl)carboxyfluorescein] and fluorescence microscopy. When eggs were inseminated at pH 8, pHi began to rise 22-36 s

Polyspermy was assayed by counting sperm pronuclei in orcein-stained eggs of Crassostrea gigas with ordinary light microscopy. When oocytes were inseminated within 15 min of their mechanical removal from the ovary, they became highly polyspermic, for
