Molecular characterization and expression profiles of cdc2 and cyclin B during oogenesis and spermatogenesis in green mud crab (Scylla paramamosain)
The maturation promoting factor (MPF) is a key regulator of controlling G2/M phase transition in the meiotic maturation of oocyte and spermatocyte in animals, which is a complex of CDC2 (CDK1) and cyclin B. To better understand the molecular mechanism of oocyte and spermatocyte maturation in mud cra...

Summary: | The maturation promoting factor (MPF) is a key regulator of controlling G2/M phase transition in the meiotic maturation of oocyte and spermatocyte in animals, which is a complex of CDC2 (CDK1) and cyclin B. To better understand the molecular mechanism of oocyte and spermatocyte maturation in mud crab (Scylla paramamosain), the full length cDNA of cdc2 (Sp-cdc2) and cyclin B (Sp-cyclin B) were cloned and characterized. The full length cDNA of Sp-cdc2 gene is of 1593bp encoding a protein of 299 amino acids. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis revealed that the expression level of Sp-cdc2 in the ovary was higher than in other tissues (P0.05), meanwhile there was higher expression in T3 stage than in T1 and T2 stages (P |
