| Popis: | Sequential protein synthesis and protein phosphorylation patterns were generated by radiolabelling bovine cumulus-oocyte complexes after various periods of culture with [35S]methionine and [32P]orthophosphate respectively. The radiolabelled oocytes were assessed for their nuclear status and used individually for gel electrophoresis. Marked changes in the protein synthesis patterns were observed exclusively after germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD), whereas oocytes which remained in the germinal vesicle stage showed a consistent protein synthesis pattern. The changes were observed after 8 and 16 h or culture, shortly after GVBD and before first polar body extrusion. From 3 h of culture, dominant phosphoprotein bands with apparent molecular weights of 24,000 and two between 50,000 and 60,000 were observed. The latter bands displayed slight molecular weight changes, which were not closely time related. After GVBD, the phosphoprotein band with Mr 19,000 was no longer observed. This study demonstrates that specific changes in protein synthesis and protein phosphorylation are programmed during bovine oocyte maturation. |
