Xenopus laevis coelomic (body cavity) eggs are not fertilizable until they pass through the pars recta oviduct. A secreted pars recta oviductal protease with trypsin-like activity, oviductin, selectively hydrolyzes egg envelope glycoprotein gp43 to gp41; this limited proteolysis is believed to rende

## Abstract The acrosome reaction of newt sperm is induced at the surface of egg jelly and the acrosome‐reacted sperm acquire the ability to bind to the vitelline envelope. However, because the substance that induces the acrosome reaction has not been identified, the mechanism by which the acrosome
