Journal ArticleDOI
Formation and structure of the fertilization envelope in Xenopus laevis
TL;DR: The morphological events that occur when the vitelline envelope of an unfertilized egg of Xenopus laevis is transformed into the fertilization envelope (FE) surrounding the zygote are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
A molecular approach to fertilization. II. Viability and artificial fertilization of Xenopus laevis gemetes.

TL;DR: In the case of various salt solutions used for testes maceration, inhibition of sperm motility was primarily a function of the ionic strength, however, there was some specificity in the salt employed as KCl and CaCl 2 solutions gave anomalous results in comparison with those obtained with other salt solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation, physicochemical properties, and the macromolecular composition of the vitelline and fertilization envelopes from Xenopus laevis eggs.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the conversion of the glycoproteinaceous VE to FE at fertilization is caused by interaction of the VE with components from the cortical granules and jelly layer J, which are of both a chemical and physical nature.
Journal ArticleDOI
A molecular approach to fertilization: III. Development of a bioassay for sperm capacitation☆
Don P. Wolf,Jerry L. Hedrick +1 more
TL;DR: A bioassay utilizing the gametes of Xenopus laevis was developed for use in isolating sperm capacitating factor(s) present in jelly coat material, suggesting a stoichiometric relation between the added factor and the spermatozoa present.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Incorporation and Fate of [35S]-Sulfate in the Jelly Coat of Xenopus laevis Eggs
TL;DR: Hydlysis rates the [“SI-sulfate from the jelly coat macromolecules and the infrared absorption spectra of jelly suggested that sulfate was present as sugar ester of a secondary axial hydroxyl group, most likely on the C4 position of Gal, Ga1NAc, or Fuc residues.
