Proteome-wide quantification of protein turnover in frog and fly embryos reveals divergent strategies of maternal inheritance
Every embryo inherits a maternal proteome that it must remodel with zygotic proteins to build its many cell types. The fate of the maternal proteome remains contested because indirect measurements cannot resolve it. Here, we combine 18O-water labeling with multiplexed proteomics to quantify protein turnover proteome-wide in frog and fly embryos. Through hatching, the frog preserves the bulk of…
