MPM-2 antigens, a discrete set of phosphoproteins that contain similar phosphoepitopes recognized by the monoclonal antibody MPM-2, are phosphorylated during M-phase induction. Our previous studies suggested that certain MPM-2 antigens are involved in the appearance of maturation-promoting factor (MPF) activity. Because the central mitotic regulator cdc2 kinase has been shown to exhibit MPF activity, we explored the possibility that certain MPM-2 antigens are regulators of cdc2 kinase. We found that MPM-2 binding of its antigens would inhibit the autoamplification of cdc2 kinase in Xenopus oocytes and interfere with cyclin-activation of cdc2 kinase in Xenopus interphase egg extract. Immunodepletion of MPM-2 antigens from cyclin-induced M-phase egg extract caused the inactivation of cdc2 kinase, which was accompanied by an inhibitory phosphorylation of p34cdc2 on Thr 14 and Tyr 15, indicating that at least one MPM-2 antigen is a positive regulator of p34cdc2 dephosphorylation. We then showed that cdc25 from M-phase arrested egg extract is an MPM-2 antigen. These results suggest that phosphorylation of the epitope recognized by MPM-2 may be a crucial event in the activation of cdc25 and that the kinase(s) that phosphorylates this MPM-2 epitope may be an important regulator of cdc2 kinase activation.
