Abstract

Oocyte development in several nonmammalian species is characterized by the synthesis of large quantities of ribonucleic acids during lampbrush stages of meiosis. These are stored in the oocyte and used during later oocyte maturation and early embryogenesis. This autoradiographic study examined the incorporation and persistence of ribonucleic acid in mouse oocytes during comparable stages of development. At each age examined, fetal through juvenile, the radiolabeled RNA precursors were incorporated into mouse oocytes during the growth stages. The RNAase‐digestible label appeared first over nucleoli and meiotic chromosomes, becoming cytoplasmic after 24 hours, and remaining cytoplasmic through all remaining stages. Once incorporated the label persisted during subsequent oocyte growth and maturation through preimplantation embryo stages with apparently undiminished levels. It is suggested that this persistently labeled RNA represents maternal RNA stored for use during early embryonic development.

In mouse L cells, relatively low doses of UV light (e.g., about 35 J/m2) induced the rapid breakdown of the molecules of many RNA species transcribed shortly before irradiation. This included 28S, 185, 5.85, and 55 rRNA, U1, U2, U3, U4, and US small nuclear RNA, but not the main band of transfer RNA

## Abstract Investigations were conducted to test the effects of α‐amanitin on RNA synthesis in preimplantation mouse embryos. Exposure of embryos in culture to 1–100 μg/ml α‐amanitin produced a dose‐ and time‐dependent suppression of total RNA synthesis as measured by incorporation of [^3^H]uridin
