Abstract

A factor that blocks serotonin (5‐hydroxytryptamine, 5‐HT)‐induced maturation of Spisula oocytes was purified from Spisula oocytes by ultrafiltration through a PM‐10 membrane, charcoal adsorption, and reversed‐phase HPLC on a Partisil ODS‐3 column, The oocyte factor is a heat‐stable, non‐proteinaceous compound with an estimated Mr of less than 1,000 Da. It blocked 5‐HT‐induced maturation of Spisula ooctyes at concentrations ranging from 10 to 100 μg/ml. It did not influence KCl‐ or potassium‐ glutamate‐induced maturation of Spisula oocytes or the maturation of mouse, Chaetopterus, Xenopus, or Asterias oocytes. The oocyte substance may function as a modulator of 5‐HT action and/or be the endogenous meiotic arresting factor in Spisula oocytes. At concentrations exceeding 100 μl/ml, the oocyte factor induced formation of blebs and cytoplasmic droplets.

Maturation-promoting factor (MPF) has been known to be produced in the cytoplasm of starfish and amphibian oocytes, where it triggers meiotic maturation. Cytoplasm obtained from maturing oocytes of either mouse or surf clam was found to induce maturation when injected into immature starfish oocytes.
