The RNA of unfertilized sea urchin eggs is "capped".

???displayArticle.abstract???
It is shown that the RNA of unfertilized sea urchin eggs is active in stimulating protein synthesis in a wheat germ cell free system. This activity is not lowered by conditions that inhibit the methylation processes but is inhibited by a treatment that damages the "cap", A difference in activity in a wheat germ cell free system between the RNA of unfertilized eggs and the RNA from early embryos is described.
