Popis: Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis was used to analyze protein synthesis in relation to neural and epidermal differentiation in Cynops pyrrhogaster embryo. Various regions of embryos at different developmental stages, from late morula to early neurula stages, were excised, radiolabelled with 35S-methionine, and the pattern of protein synthesis were compared. The following four types of protein spots were observed: (1) six proteins synthesized characteristically in the epidermal region of the embryo after gastrulation, (2) two proteins synthesized in both epidermal and endodermal regions, but not in other regions, after gastrulation, (3) a protein first detected at early blastula stage, of which expression was nearly constant in presumptive epidermis region but declined in the other regions, (4) the candidate for neural plate specific protein synthesized at a very high level in ectoderm explants treated with concanavalin A, a substance which evokes neural induction.
