indicating a possible role for HSP70 in fertilization [ 41 ] ). An egg-surface sperm receptor, identified on sea urchin oocytes, bears a sperm-binding domain with sequence similarity to HSP70 and its recombinant protein binds sperm and inhibits fertilization in vitro [ 42 ] . Among the other molecular chaperones described here, calreticulin has been found in oocytes from a number of species [ 43 ] . Interestingly, Munoz-Gotera et al.
PDI has been identified in sea urchin eggs [ 45 ] , though localized only to the ER.
Our data are consistent with results in sea urchin coelomocytes where BDM phenocopies the effect of cytochalasin D, blocking retrograde flow at the leading edge with continued contraction of the actin network causing a clearing of actin at the leading edge [ 11 ] . In the coelomyocte system, de-localization of leading edge components by BDM could account for the inhibition of actin polymerization and clearing.
