Electrophoretic characterization of R. catesbeiana , X. laevis and B. marinus SNPBs. Characterization of histones and SNBPs extracted from different tissues by: A) SDS-PAGE; B) AUT-PAGE run for a short time duration to separate histones (H), protamine-like proteins (PL) and protamines (P); and C) AUT-PAGE run for a longer duration to separate histones. Lane 1: R. catesbeiana liver; lane 2: R. catesbeiana blood; lane 3: R. catesbeiana sperm; lane 4: R. catesbeiana testes; lane 5: X. laevis testes; lane 6: B. marinus testes. CM; Chicken erythrocyte histones used as a histone marker. The SNBPs of X. laevis in lane 5, called sperm-specific proteins (SP1-6), are labeled and arrows (<) are used when needed to clearly indicate which bands the labels refer to. The asterisks point to the sperm-specific histone H1 complement in R. catesbeiana.
