Abstract excerpt
We have reported elsewhere that offspring from the No. 65 female of Xenopus laevis cleaved normally, but their development was arrested at the onset of gastrulation, like the Ambystoma ova-deficient (o) mutant, irrespective of mating with different wild-type males, and that an acidic, 38 kDa protein present in wild-type eggs was lacking in eggs of the female. In the current study, we first determined the partial...
