Popis: The meiotic maturation of oocytes is regulated by the maturation-promoting factor (MPF), a complex of Cdc2 (Cdk1) and Cyclin B. Here, the complete open reading frame (ORF) of Cdc2 in Penaeus monodon was characterized. PmCdc2 were 900bp in length corresponding to a polypeptide of 299 amino acids with the conserved Thr14, Tyr15 and Thr161 residues. Quantitative real-time PCR indicated that the expression level of PmCdc2 in wild intact broodstock was significantly increased in stages II (vitellogenic) and III (early cortical rod) ovaries relative to stage I (previtellogenic) ovaries and peaked in stage IV (mature) ovaries (P
