Requirement of Cks2 for the First Metaphase/Anaphase Transition of Mammalian Meiosis

Abstract: We generated mice lacking Cks2, one of two mammalian homologs of the yeast Cdk1-binding proteins, Suc1 and Cks1, and found them to be viable but sterile in both sexes. Sterility is due to failure of both male and female germ cells to progress past the first meiotic metaphase. The chromosomal events up through the end of prophase I are normal in both CKS2-/- males and females, suggesting that the phenotype is due directly to failure to enter anaphase and not a consequence of a checkpoint-mediated metaphase I ar… Show more

“…Alternatively, regulation of Cdc2 by Cks proteins may also dictate differential kinase activity. It was reported that knockout of Cks2 in mouse promoted an MI arrest, though the reason for this was unclear (Spruck et al, 2003). It is possible that loss of Cks2 in the knockout lowered Cdc2 kinase activity in meiosis I, leading to inappropriate Emi2 stabilization.…”

“…CKS2 is involved in the process of germ cell progression past the first meiotic cell division (Spruck et al, 2003); PSME2 is a proteasome activator involved in enhancing class I major hisocompatibility complex antigen presentation (Preckel et al, 1999); and DHFR is involved in the conversion of dihydrofolic acid into tetrahydrofolic acid, a carrier for the methyl group required for de novo synthesis of a variety of essential metabolites. Thus, these genes are not directly involved in bone re-modulation.…”

“…Cks2 has been implicated in the first metaphase/anaphase transition of mammalian meiosis (25). Mice lacking Cks2 are viable, but both sexes are sterile, in contrast to mice lacking Cks1 that are smaller than wild type (23).…”
