Germinal vesicle breakdown in the mouse oocyte.
Germinal vesicle breakdown in mouse oocytes in vivo and in vitro has been examined by electron microscopy. In vitro oocytes were studied immediately after release from follicles and at various times (05-11 h) in culture. Approximately 30 min after oocyte release, chromatin condensation begins along the convoluted nuclear envelope (NE). Chromatin granules are common in all condensing chromosomes...
متن کاملZP3 is Required for Germinal Vesicle Breakdown in Mouse Oocyte Meiosis
ZP3 is a principal component of the zona pellucida (ZP) of mammalian oocytes and is essential for normal fertility, and knockout of ZP3 causes complete infertility. ZP3 promotes fertilization by recognizing sperm binding and activating the acrosome reaction; however, additional cellular roles for ZP3 in mammalian oocytes have not been yet reported. In the current study, we found that ZP3 was st...
متن کاملInhibition of calcineurin by FK506 stimulates germinal vesicle breakdown of mouse oocytes in hypoxanthine-supplemented medium
Calcineurin (CN) is a serine/threonine phosphatase which plays important roles in meiosis maturation in invertebrate oocytes; however, the role of CN in mouse oocytes is relatively unexplored. In this study, we examined the expression, localization and functional roles of CN in mouse oocytes and granulosa cells. The RT-PCR results showed that the β isoform of calcineurin A subunit (Cn A) expres...
متن کاملHistone H1 kinase activity, germinal vesicle breakdown and M phase entry in mouse oocytes.
Meiotic reinitiation of the mouse oocyte is characterized by a slow entry into metaphase I, beginning with germinal vesicle breakdown and ending with spindle formation. It is accompanied by a cascade of protein kinases and phosphatases increasing protein phosphorylation. The activation of histone H1 kinase and that of the mitogen-activated protein kinase p42 have been compared during spontaneou...
متن کاملProtein requirements for germinal vesicle breakdown in ovine oocytes.
The regulation of the cell cycle during the transition from prophase to metaphase I was studied by analysing protein changes and introducing protein blocks during the transition phase. The results show that the progression to metaphase in ovine oocytes is totally dependent on new protein synthesis. By delaying the addition of the inhibitor, cycloheximide, for progressively longer periods after ...
