Fig. 4. Activation of adenylate cyclase inhibits SNAP25
20-induced
maturation. (A,B) Extent of maturation of Xenopus
oocytes treated with progesterone or injected with SNAP25
20 mRNA in the
presence or absence of 100 µM forskolin (A) or 5x10-9 M
cholera toxin (B). Timecourses of maturation were carried out and the plateau
levels of GVBD at the end of the experiments are reported (above). The
activation of MAPK and MPF and the expression level of SNAP25
20 are
also shown (below). Lysates for western blot analysis were prepared from cells
at the GVBD50 time point. (C) Percent GVBD of Mos mRNA- (10
ng) injected oocytes in the presence or absence of 100 µM forskolin or
5x10-9 M cholera toxin. The inset (below) shows the time to
GVBD50 for Mos-injected cells±forskolin. CT, cholera toxin;
Forsk, forskolin.
