Abstract：
:The egg vitelline envelope of the marine invertebrate, Megathura crenulata, was lyzed either by sperm lysins A, B, C or by dithiothreitol. In each case the lysis mixture consisted of two major fractions, I and II, that could be separated by hydroxylapatite chromatography and had different electrophoretic mobilities on cellulose acetate strips. The amino acid, amino sugar, and neutral sugar compositions of fractions I and II were similar and resembled that of the intact vitelline envelope. Fractions I and II of each lysis mixture emerged in the exclusion volume of a Sepharose 6B column. A vitelline envelope fragment enzymatically formed by lysin was further degraded by dithiothreitol to form smaller fragments. A model of the vitelline envelope of the Megathura crenulata egg is suggested whereby the envelope is composed of polypeptide chains cross-linked by disulfide bonds and built to a large extent of closely spaced threonine residues. Most of the threonine residues are linked to carbohydrate units. Dithiothreitol dissolves the envelope by reducing disulfide bonds, whereas lysins most likely dissolve the envelope by degrading polypeptide chains.
