Protein 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 ...
متن کاملChromatin modifications in the germinal vesicle (GV) of mammalian oocytes.
The nucleus of eukaryotic cells is organized into functionally specialized compartments that are essential for the control of gene expression, chromosome architecture and cellular differentiation. The mouse oocyte nucleus or germinal vesicle (GV) exhibits a unique chromatin configuration that is subject to dynamic modifications during oogenesis. This process of 'epigenetic maturation' is critic...
متن کاملGerminal 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 کاملNeutral sphingomyelinase-induced ceramide triggers germinal vesicle breakdown and oxidant-dependent apoptosis in Xenopus laevis oocytes.
Ceramide regulates many cellular processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. Although the effects of exogenous bacterial neutral sphingomyelinase (SMase) in Xenopus laevis oocytes have been investigated, its microinjection into oocytes has not been reported previously. Thus, we compared the incubation versus microinjection of the neutral Bacillus cereus sphingomyelinase (b...
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...
