Abstract
X. laevis oocytes were prelabeled with [32P]orthophosphate overnight before maturation was induced by progesterone stimulation. The phosphorylation status of ribosomal protein S6 from control oocytes and the temporal changes in S6 phosphorylation after progesterone treatment were analyzed by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis. S6 protein was separated in up to 5 distinct S6 species, which differed in their degree of phosphorylation. 32P labeling of S6, as judged from the shift of radioactivity into more highly phosphorylated S6 derivatives, continuously increased in progesterone-stimulated oocytes even at later times when germinal vesicle breakdown was completed. S6 protein of unstimulated oocytes was labeled to a lower degree. Trypsin cleavage of total S6 protein, isolated from control and maturing oocytes, gave rise to different complex phosphopeptide patterns reflecting the existence of various multiply phosphorylated S6 derivatives in both samples. Two of the more highly phosphorylated S6 derivatives showed considerable differences between the phosphopeptide elution profiles of control and stimulated oocytes indicating that dissimilar sites had been modified under both physiological conditions. Only phosphoserine was detected in the phosphoamino acid analysis of individual S6 derivatives.This publication has 38 references indexed in Scilit:
