摘要

The oocyte-to-embryo transition transforms a differentiated germ cell into a totipotent zygote capable of somatic development. In C. elegans, several oocyte proteins, including the meiotic katanin subunit MEI-1 and the oocyte maturation protein OMA-1, must be degraded during this transition [1]. Degradation of MEI-1 and OMA-1 requires the dual-specificity YAK-1-related (DYRK) kinase MBK-2 [2-4]. Here, we demonstrate that MBK-2 directly phosphorylates MEI-1 and OMA-1 in vitro and that this activity is essential for degradation in vivo. Phosphorylation of MEI-1 by MBK-2 reaches maximal levels after the meiotic divisions, immediately preceding MEI-1 degradation. MEI-1 phosphorylation and degradation still occur in spe-9 eggs, which undergo meiotic maturation and exit in the absence of fertilization [5]. In contrast, MEI-1 phosphorylation and degradation are blocked in cell-cycle mutants that arrest during the meiotic divisions, and are accelerated in wee-1.3(RNAi) oocytes, which prematurely enter meiotic M phase (A. Golden, personal communication). A GFP:MBK-2 fusion relocalizes from the cortex to the cytoplasm during the meiotic divisions, and this relocalization also depends on cell-cycle progression. Our findings suggest that regulators of meiotic M phase activate a remodeling program, independently of fertilization, to prepare eggs for embryogenesis.

Golden,个人交流)。 GFP:MBK-2融合蛋白在减数分裂分裂过程中从皮质重新定位到细胞质,这种重新定位还取决于细胞周期的进程。我们的发现表明,减数分裂M期的调控因子可独立于受精而激活重塑程序,从而为卵子的发生做好准备。
