Arp2/3 Complex Regulates Asymmetric Division and Cytokinesis in Mouse Oocytes
Mammalian oocyte meiotic maturation involves oocyte polarization and a unique asymmetric division, but until now, the underlying mechanisms have been poorly understood. Arp2/3 complex has been shown to regulate actin nucleation and is widely involved in a diverse range of processes such as cell locomotion, phagocytosis and the establishment of cell polarity. Whether Arp2/3 complex participates ...
متن کاملJMY is required for asymmetric division and cytokinesis in mouse oocytes.
JMY is a transcriptional co-factor of p53. Latest work has revealed that JMY is also an actin nucleation factor that regulates new filament assembly and activates Arp2/3 complex in somatic cells; however, roles of JMY in mouse oocyte are unknown. Here we showed the expression and functions of JMY during mouse oocyte meiotic maturation. JMY mRNA is expressed largely from germinal vesicle to meta...
متن کاملSKAP2 regulates Arp2/3 complex for actin-mediated asymmetric cytokinesis by interacting with WAVE2 in mouse oocytes
SKAP2 (Src kinase-associated phosphoprotein 2), a substrate of Src family kinases, has been suggested to be involved in actin-mediated cellular processes. However, little is known about its role in mouse oocyte maturation. In this study, we thus investigated the expression, localization, and functions of SKAP2 during mouse oocyte asymmetric division. SKAP2 protein expression was detected at all...
متن کاملAsymmetric division in mouse oocytes: with or without Mos
In both vertebrates and invertebrates, meiotic divisions in oocytes are typically asymmetric, resulting in the formation of a large oocyte and small polar bodies. The size difference between the daughter cells is usually a consequence of asymmetric positioning of the spindle before cytokinesis. Spindle movements are often related to interactions between the cell cortex and the spindle asters [1...
متن کاملPolarized Cdc42 activation promotes polar body protrusion and asymmetric division in mouse oocytes
Asymmetric meiotic divisions in mammalian oocytes rely on the eccentric positioning of the spindle and the remodeling of the overlying cortex, resulting in the formation of small polar bodies. The mechanism of this cortical polarization, exemplified by the formation of a thick F-actin cap, is poorly understood. Cdc42 is a major player in cell polarization in many systems; however, the spatio-te...
