We show that the synthesis of actin is regulated developmentally during early sea urchin embryogenesis and that the level of synthesis of this protein parallels the steady-state amounts of the actin messenger ribonucleic acids (RNA). An in vitro translation and RNA blotting analysis of embryo RNA from several stages of early development indicated that during the first 8 h after fertilization there was a low and relatively constant level of actin messenger RNA in the embryo. Between 8 and 13 h of development, the amount of actin messenger RNA began to increase both in the cytoplasm and on polysomes, and by 18 h the amounts of actin message per embryo had risen between approximately 10- and 25-fold in the cytoplasm and between 15- and 40-fold on polysomes. Two size classes of actin messenger RNA (2.2 and 1.8 kilobases) were identified in unfertilized eggs and in all of the developmental stages examined. The amount of each actin message class increased over a similar time interval during early development. However, the amounts of these size classes in the cytoplasm relative to each other shifted between the earliest stages examined (2 to 5 h) and the hatching blastula stage (18 h), with the ratio of the 1.8-kilobase actin messenger RNA to the 2.2-kilobase actin messenger RNA increasing almost threefold during this period.
