Synthesis of nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins was studied biochemically and autoradiographically in early loach (Misgurnus fossilis) and sea-urchin (Strongylocentrotus nudus) embryos. After incubation with [14C]amino acids for 5–120 min the ratio of the specific activities of nuclear, mitochondrial and 12000 g supernatant proteins was shown to be equal approximately to 6:1:2 in loach embryos and to 8:4:3 in sea-urchin embryos independently of the duration of labelling. After incubation with [3H]amino acids the number of silver grains per unit section was on the average 2·4 times higher for nuclei than it was for cytoplasm at mid-blastula and mid-gastrula stages. At the mid-gastrula the vegeto-animal gradient of protein synthesis was found. A higher level of the synthesis of nuclear proteins as compared with that of cytoplasmic proteins appears to be related to an increase in the nuclear volume and the nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio during the early development of the loach and sea-urchin embryos.

In previous papers (Buznikov, Chudakova & Zvezdina, 1964; Buznikov, Chudakova, Berdysheva & Vyazmina, 1968) we reported that fertilized eggs of the sea-urchin Strongylocentrotus dröbachiensis synthesized a number of neurohumours, such as serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT), acetylcholine (ACh), adrenalin (A), noradrenalin (NA) and dopamine. Synthesis of 5-HT was also demonstrated in the fertilized eggs of the loach Misgurnus fossilis and some marine Invertebrata. In experiments with sea-urchin embryos we were able to trace regular changes in the level of 5-HT, ACh, A and NA, related to the first cleavage divisions. This early onset of neurohumour synthesis, as well as regular changes in their level, suggests their direct involvement in the regulation of the first cleavage divisions. The functional activity of neurohumours (M) in adult organisms is realized through their reaction with the active sites of corresponding receptors (R) according to the following equation:The magnitude of the physiological effect under certain conditions is linearly proportional to the number of complexes MR formed (Turpayev, 1962; Ariëns, 1964).
