Microinjection of H-ras(val12) protein into fully grown Xenopus oocytes has been shown to induce meiotic maturation. In the present study, mRNA encoding the mutant ras protein was injected into both fully grown (stage 6) and growing (stage 4) oocytes. The mRNA induced nuclear breakdown in stage 6 oocytes, as expected. However, the mRNA induced neither nuclear breakdown nor maturation promoting factor when injected into stage 4 oocytes. Instead, the response in stage 4 oocytes included an activation pulse of calcium, cortical granule breakdown, elevation of the vitelline envelope, and abortive cleavage furrows, all of which are characteristics of the activation response in mature eggs. In addition, the injected mRNA led to increased rates of endogenous protein synthesis and the migration of subcortical organelles into the oocyte interior. These observations are discussed relative to the suggestion that oncogenic ras protein leads to an increase in both diacylglycerol and inositol trisphosphate, which then regulate the various cytoplasmic events described.
