1 Relocation: Role in
Resumption of Meiosis in the Mouse Oocyte

The location of the phospholipase C
1-isoform (PLC-
1) in the
mouse oocyte and its role in the resumption of meiosis were examined.
We used specific monoclonal antibodies to monitor the in vitro dynamics
of the subcellular distribution of the enzyme from the release of the
oocyte from the follicle until breakdown of the germinal vesicle (GVBD)
by Western blotting, electron microscope immunohistochemistry, and
confocal microscope immunofluorescence. PLC-
1 became relocated to
the oocyte cortex and the nucleoplasm during the G2/M transition,
mainly in the hour preceding GVBD. The enzyme was a 150-kDa protein,
corresponding to PLC-
1a. Its synthesis in the cytoplasm increased
during this period, and it accumulated in the nucleoplasm. GVBD was
dramatically inhibited by the microinjection of anti-PLC-
1
monoclonal antibody into the germinal vesicle (GV) only when
this accumulation was at its maximum. In contrast, PLC-
1 was absent
from the GV from the time of release from the follicle until 1 h
later, and microinjection of anti-PLC-
1 into the GV did not affect
GVBD. Our results demonstrate a relationship between the relocation of
PLC-
1 and its role in the first step of meiosis.
