The M-phase regulatory phosphatase PP2A-B55δ opposes protein kinase A on Arpp19 to initiate meiotic division.
???displayArticle.abstract???
Oocytes are held in meiotic prophase for prolonged periods until hormonal signals trigger meiotic divisions. Key players of M-phase entry are the opposing Cdk1 kinase and PP2A-B55δ phosphatase. In Xenopus, the protein Arpp19, phosphorylated at serine 67 by Greatwall, plays an essential role in inhibiting PP2A-B55δ, promoting Cdk1 activation. Furthermore, Arpp19 has an earlier role in maintaining the prophase arrest through a second serine (S109) phosphorylated by PKA. Prophase release, induced by progesterone, relies on Arpp19 dephosphorylation at S109, owing to an unknown phosphatase. Here, we identified this phosphatase as PP2A-B55δ. In prophase, PKA and PP2A-B55δ are simultaneously active, suggesting the presence of other important targets for both enzymes. The drop in PKA activity induced by progesterone enables PP2A-B55δ to dephosphorylate S109, unlocking the prophase block. Hence, PP2A-B55δ acts critically on Arpp19 on two distinct sites, opposing PKA and Greatwall to orchestrate the prophase release and M-phase entry.

Fig. 10: A reciprocal regulation of PP2A-B55δ and Arpp19 orchestrates the timing of the first meiotic division. Prophase arrest (left box): both PP2A-B55δ and PKA are active, resulting in Arpp19 phosphorylation at S109. S109-phosphorylated Arpp19 locks the oocyte in prophase by an unknown mechanism, PKA contributes to this arrest through Arpp19 phosphorylation and possibly other substrates, PP2A-B55δ prevents Cdk1 activation. Transduction pathway (middle box): in response to progesterone, PKA is inhibited while PP2A-B55δ stays active, allowing Arpp19 dephosphorylation. Dephosphorylated Arpp19, possibly together with other dephosphorylated PKA substrates, launches a several hours long transduction pathway. Active PP2A-B55δ prevents Cdk1 activation, generating the time window necessary to set up the cascade of molecular events required for Cdk1 activation. M-phase entry (right box): Gwl is activated by a Cdk1 activity threshold and phosphorylates Arpp19 at S67 Hence, PP2A-B55δ is inhibited and Cdk1 fully activated. This hysteretic switch triggers M-phase entry. |
