The effect of low temperature on the cortical actin system and polyspermy in sea urchin eggs was studied. Eggs cold-shocked at 3 degrees C for 1 hour formed a cortical system of polymerized actin and were polyspermic when fertilized. These effects were completely reversible following a 7-20 minute recovery period at room temperature. The present data raises the possibility that actin, or components of the egg cytoskeleton, regulate sperm entry in sea urchin eggs.
研究了低温对海胆卵皮质肌动蛋白系统和多精受精的影响。在3摄氏度下冷休克1小时的卵形成了聚合肌动蛋白的皮质系统,受精时会发生多精受精。在室温下恢复7 - 20分钟后,这些影响完全可逆。目前的数据增加了一种可能性,即肌动蛋白或卵细胞质骨架的成分调节海胆卵中的精子进入。
