Abstract
- In previous studies, we observed that Zeta-chain-associated protein kinase 70 (Zap70) regulates spindle assembly and chromosome alignment in mouse oocyte and that Ran binding protein 2 (RanBP2) is a highly associated gene with Zap70 based on a microarray analysis. Because RanBP2 is related to nuclear envelope breakdown (NEBD) during mitosis, the aim of the present study was to elucidate the molecular mechanism of Zap70 with respect to RanBP2 in the germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) of oocytes. Results indicated that RanBP2 expression was regulated by Zap70 and that depletion of RanBP2 using RanBP2 RNAi manifested comparable phenotypes to those observed in Zap70 RNAi-treated oocytes, which presented faster processing of GVBD. Additionally, Zap70 RNAi-treated oocytes showed faster meiotic resumption with premature activation of maturation-promoting factor (MPF), premature division of chromosomes at approximately 6-8 h and more rapid degradation of securin. In conclusion, we report that Zap70 is a crucial factor for controlling the exact timing of meiotic progression in mouse oocytes.
