Mcrofilament-mediated surface change in starfish oocytes in response to 1-methyladenine: implications for identifying the pathway and receptor sites for maturation-inducing hormones.
Snoods: a periodic network containing cytokeratin in the cortex of starfish oocytes.
Activity of the maturation promoting factor and the extent of protein phosphorylation oscillate simultaneously during meiotic maturation of starfish oocytes.
Spawning of starfish: action of gameteshedding substance obtained from radial nerves.
Induction of spawning and oocyte maturation by 1-methyladenine in starfish.
Acrosome-inducing substance purified from the egg jelly inhibits jelly-induced acrosome reaction in starfish: an apparent contradiction.
In starfish, the acrosome reaction is induced by the cooperative action of multiple molecules, not by each of them.
Absence of 1-methyladenine production in follicle cells obtained from starfish ovaries in the postspawning season.
