Putative nuclease-sensitive control element in unfertilized eggs of the sea urchin Lytechinus pictus.
???displayArticle.abstract???
Very limited nuclease-treatment of actively translating lysates from unfertilized eggs of the sea urchin Lytechinus pictus results in activation of the lysate. This activation is reflected by the ability of the nuclease-treated (or ''nuclease-activated'') lysates to more efficiently utilize exogenous added RNAs. The activation may be reversed by adding small aliquots of untreated lysate to the nuclease-activated lysates. These results suggest that a nuclease-sensitive negative control element may be involved in the translational repression of unfertilized eggs, and that a deactivation of this control element is partially responsible for the dramatic activation of protein synthesis following fertilization in sea urchin eggs.
