Abstract
The 4 and 5 S RNA containing 42 S ribonucleoprotein (RNP) particles characteristic of previtellogenic and white oocytes cannot be detected in full-grown oocytes. When full-grown oocyte RNPs are separated on sucrose gradients 4 and 5 S RNA cannot be detected in the 42 S region. However, not all of the 5 S RNA stored during early oogenesis is incorporated into ribosomes at later stages. A substantial pool (20% of the total) of 5 S RNA remains in a non-ribosome-bound fraction sedimenting at about 7 S in full-grown oocytes.
