Smittia embryos were UV‐irradiated during intravitelline cleavage. At this stage, nuclei are heavily shielded by yolk‐rich cytoplasm, and do not synthesize detectable amounts of RNA. Irradiation at 265, 285 and 295 nm wavelength caused biological inactivation, and pyrimidine dimer formation in maternal RNA as described earlier (Kalthoff, 1976; Jäckie and Kalthoff, 1978). In addition, we observed marked effects on protein synthesis: (1) The overall rate of [35S]‐methionine incorporation in vivo was reduced to less than half of the normal rate. (2) Two‐dimensional gel electrophoresis revealed quantitative variations in the synthetic rate of some polypeptides, and the appearance of new ones in UV‐irradiated embryos. (3) Translation of polyadenylated RNA from Smittia embryos in a cell‐free system was inhibited by UV irradiation in vivo. (4) The apparent degradation, during early embryogenesis, of maternal polyadenylated RNA was retarded in UV‐irradiated embryos.
