✦ Synopsis

The temporal coordination of histone and DNA synthesis in mouse eggs and preimplantation embryos were examined. In unfertilized mouse eggs arrested at metaphase 11, histone synthesis was observed, but at lower rates than previously reported for fertilized zygotes. Cytosine arabinoside, an inhibitor of DNA synthesis, was used to study the relationship between DNA and histone synthesis during cleavage stages of mouse development. Cytosine arabinoside (50 pM) inhibited by 90% the incorporation of r3H]thymidine into DNA by two-cell embryos and blastocysts. At this concentration, cytosine arabinoside inhibited incorporation of [3H]lysine into blastocyst histones by only 30% and had no effect at the two-cell stage. These results are interpreted to show that DNA synthesis and histone synthesis are not coordinated temporally during early development of the mouse, but may become more so as development proceeds.

Demembranated gastrulae that had been cultured in 0.05% cytosine arabinoside for a day and subsequently cultured in a saline medium, experienced a delay (1-2 days) in the time at which flexure of the tail-buds first occurred. Histological sections showed these embryos to be essentially normal. Isoto
