“…Cytoskeleton-mediated processes are involved in the final stages of female gamete formation, including meiotic progression and first polar body emission [2,3]; in the process of fertilization, including second polar body emission, pronuclear formation and migration [46,61,62]; and in the process of compaction during pre-implantation embryo development [21,47]. In mammals, the organization and dynamics of cytoplasmic intermediate filaments during oocyte maturation have never been described, and there is still limited information available regarding early embryogenesis [7,12,25,43,44,52,53,60].

“…While microtubules and microfilaments have been variably implicated in these events ( [4], for review see [2,3,47]), the involvement of the third component of the cytoskeleton, intermediate filaments, is still poorly understood during these critical processes (for review see [7]). In mammals, the organization and dynamics of cytoplasmic intermediate filaments during oocyte maturation have never been described, and there is still limited information available regarding early embryogenesis [7,12,25,43,44,52,53,60].…”

SummaryRecent genetic manipulations have revealed that the cytoplasm of the early Drosophila embryo contains localized information that specifies the future embryonic axes. It is the restricted distribution or activity of particular gene products, either messenger RNA or protein, that is crucial for this specification. While some of the genes responsible for this information have been sequenced and the nature and distribution of their products examined, it is not known how this localization is established or maintained. The actin-based cytoskeleton is a likely candidate for the formation, of a cytomatrix that would allow such distributions and yet no direct evidence has yet been found that implicates actin in positional cue localization. In this review I summarize what is known about actin filament behavior in Drosophila embryos and compare it to the distribution of positional cues. My purpose is to juxtapose these two bodies of information such that the relationship between them may be revealed.
