Cleavage in embryos of the sea urchin Arbacia punctulata consists of 8 very rapid divisions that require continual protein synthesis to sustain them. This synthesis is programmed by stored maternal mRNA, which code for 3 or 4 particularly abundant proteins whose synthesis is barely if at all detectable in the unfertilized egg. One of these proteins is destroyed every time the cells divide. Eggs of the sea urchin Lytechinus pictus and oocytes of the surf clam Spisula solidissima also contain proteins that only start to be made after fertilization and are destroyed at certain points in the cell division cycle. These proteins are called the cyclins.
