摘要: Fertilized clam embryos synthesize several new cell-cycle-related proteins. The cloned cDNA and derived amino acid sequences of one these, cyclin A, are presented here. Immunoblots with an anti-cyclin A antibody reveal that is undetectable in oocytes, appears within 15 min fertilization, destroyed near the end each meiosis mitosis. We directly tested ability to induce M phase by injecting SP6 mRNA into Xenopus which arrested at G2/M border first meiosis. injected was translated, result oocytes entered These findings indicate rise plays a direct natural role driving cells phase.
