    Abstract
    Abstract This report documents the characterization of a novel mouse oocyte protein which was originally identified by microsequence analysis of a 67.8 kDa protein spot (pI 5.7) on a Coomassie-stained two-dimensional (2D) gel of murine egg proteins. Tandem mass spectroscopic analysis of the peptides obtained from the cored protein yielded sequences that appeared to match only ovary, egg, and preimplantation embryo cDNAs. We then cloned the novel gene by RACE-PCR, and analysis of the deduced cDNA sequence found that this maternal product was 56% identical to human cytosolic phospholipase A2y (cPLA2y). Based on this sequence ...

    Abstract This report documents the characterization of a novel mouse oocyte protein which was originally identified by microsequence analysis of a 67.8 kDa protein spot (pI 5.7) on a Coomassie-stained two-dimensional (2D) gel of murine egg proteins. Tandem mass spectroscopic analysis of the peptides obtained from the cored protein yielded sequences that appeared to match only ovary, egg, and preimplantation embryo cDNAs. We then cloned the novel gene by RACE-PCR, and analysis of the deduced cDNA sequence found that this maternal product was 56% identical to human cytosolic phospholipase A2y (cPLA2y). Based on this sequence homology, we named the molecule mouse cytosolic phospholipase A2y (cPLA2y). As with human cPLA2y, mouse cPLA2y contains a lipase consensus sequence and lacks the calcium binding domain that is found in other PLA2 proteins. However, mouse cPLA2y is different from human cPLA2y in that mouse cPLA2y expression is restricted to the ovary and that the protein does not contain the myristoylation and prenylation lipid-anchoring motifs that are present in human cPLA2y. Within oocytes, mouse cPLA2y localizes mainly to the oocyte cortex and to the nucleoplasm. Interestingly, during germinal vesicle breakdown, mouse cPLA2y aggregates dynamically relocate from the oocyte cortex to the nuclear envelope, suggesting a possible role for this putative egg-restricted phospholipase A2y in membrane remodeling. Furthermore, mouse cPLA2y protein continues to be expressed in the embryo until the 4-8-cell stage of development, suggesting that mouse cPLA2y may function as a previously uncharacterized maternal effect gene.
