摘要

Despite the large size of the Xenopus laevis egg (approximately 1.2 mm diameter), a fertilized egg rapidly proceeds through mitosis in a spatially coordinated fashion. Mitosis is initiated by a bistable system of regulatory proteins centred on Cdkl (refs 1,2), raising the possibility that this spatial coordination could be achieved through trigger waves of Cdkl activity. Using an extract system that performs cell cycles in vitroy here we show that mitosis does spread through Xenopus cytoplasm via trigger waves, propagating at a linear speed of approximately 60μm min~(-1). Perturbing the feedback loops that give rise to the bistability of Cdkl changes the speed and dynamics of the waves. Time-lapse imaging of intact eggs argues that trigger waves of Cdkl activation are responsible for surface contraction waves, ripples in the cell cortex that precede cytokinesis. These findings indicate that Cdkl trigger waves help ensure the spatiotemporal coordination of mitosis in large eggs. Trigger waves may be an important general mechanism for coordinating biochemical events over large distances.
