The oocyte metaphase arrest

  • Chapter
Progress in Cell Cycle Research

Part of the book series: Progress in Cell Cycle Research ((PCCR))

Abstract

Usually, oocyte meiosis reinitiation appears as a two step process during which release from the prophase block is followed by a second arrest in metaphase I or II. In this review, we will examine the mechanisms required to maintain the metaphase arrest and stabilize MPF activity at this stage. Then, we will analyse the processes required to exit from the metaphase block. These may drive the cells forward to the metaphase-anaphase transition, as a result of fertilization, activation or protein synthesis inhibition. Instead, inhibiting protein phosphorylation drives the oocyte back to interphase. All these treatments result in derepression of DNA synthesis.
