Identification of XPR-1, a progesterone receptor required for <i>Xenopus</i> oocyte activation

12 Dec 2000

Abstract excerpt

Quiescent full-grown Xenopus oocytes remain arrested at the G(2)/M border of meiosis I until exposed to progesterone, their natural mitogen. Progesterone triggers rapid, nontranscriptional responses that lead to the translational activation of stored mRNAs, resumption of the meiotic cell cycles, and maturation of the oocyte into a fertilizable egg. It has long been presumed that progesterone activates the oocyte...
