Rescue of MII entry in OoMastl−/− oocytes upon Cdk1 activation and PP2A inhibition. (A) Ovulated OoMastl−/− oocytes collected 16 h after hCG were treated with inhibitors that abolished the inhibitory phosphorylation on Cdk1 and enhanced Cdk1 activity in OoMastl−/− oocytes. Lysate from 50 oocytes was loaded in each lane, and β-actin was used as the loading control. (B) Rescue of MII entry in OoMastl−/− oocytes treated with PD166285 or OA. Error bars represent the SD. (C) Immunofluorescence of OoMastl−/− oocytes treated with inhibitors showing formation of spindles and chromosome condensation. All experiments were repeated at least three times, and representative results are shown.
