Abstract

A sulfated cell surface glycoprotein with an apparent molecular weight of 185,000 is synthesized in the multicellular organism Volvox only during the limited period of embryogenesis. The lifetime of sulfate residues on this glycoprotein is very short (half-life about 20 min). Production of this sulfated glycoprotein sharply decreases to a minimum shortly before the onset of the differentiating ...
