MAP kinase kinase (MAPKK) has been identified as a protein factor that can induce phosphorylation and activation of inactive MAP kinase in vitro. In this study, we produced an anti-Xenopus MAPKK antibody that can specifically inhibit Xenopus MAPKK activity in vitro. Microinjection of this antibody into immature oocytes prevented progesterone-induced MAP kinase activation. Moreover, progesterone-induced histone H1 kinase activation and germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) were inhibited in the oocytes injected previously with this antibody. Furthermore, when a bacterially expressed Mos was introduced into immature oocytes, Mos-induced MAP kinase activation and GVBD were blocked in the oocytes injected with the anti-MAPKK antibody. These results show that MAPKK is responsible for the activation of MAP kinase in vivo and that the MAPKK/MAP kinase cascade plays a pivotal role in the MPF activation during the oocyte maturation process.
