Xenopus oocytes arrested in prophase I resume meiotic division in response to progesterone and arrest at metaphase II. Entry into meiosis I depends on the activation of Cdc2 kinase [M-phase promoting factor (MPF)]. To better understand the role of Cdc2, MPF activity was specifically inhibited by injection of the CDK inhibitor, Cip1. When Cip1 is injected at germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) time, Cdc25 and Plx1 are both dephosphorylated and Cdc2 is rephosphorylated on tyrosine. The autoamplification loop characterizing MPF is therefore not only required for MPF generation before GVBD, but also for its stability during the GVBD period. The ubiquitin ligase anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), responsible for cyclin degradation, is also under the control of Cdc2; therefore, Cdc2 activity itself induces its own inactivation through cyclin degradation, allowing the exit from the first meiotic division. In contrast, cyclin accumulation, responsible for Cdc2 activity increase allowing entry into metaphase II, is independent of Cdc2. The c-Mos/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway remains active when Cdc2 activity is inhibited at GVBD time. This pathway could be responsible for the sustained cyclin neosynthesis. In contrast, during the metaphase II block, the c-Mos/MAPK pathway depends on Cdc2. Therefore, the metaphase II block depends on a dynamic interplay between MPF and CSF, the c-Mos/MAPK pathway stabilizing cyclin B, whereas in turn, MPF prevents c-Mos degradation.
