【 摘 要 】

The synthesis of the sex-inducing glycoprotein of Volvox carteri was investigated. A highly specific antiserum directed against pheromone deglycos ylated with trifluoromethane sulphonic acid was used to detect inducer protein in maturing cultures of the male strain IPS-22. Immunoblot analysi showed that inducer synthesis is restricted to a very late phase of sperm development, a few hours before the sperm cells die. The pheromonc is co-translationally glycosylated to yield a well-defined pattern of isoinducers.
