Abstract
The activation of maturation-promoting factor (MPF) is required for G(2)/M progression in eukaryotic cells. Xenopus oocytes are arrested in G(2) and are induced to enter M phase of meiosis by progesterone stimulation. This process is known as meiotic maturation and requires the translation of specif …
