Premature spindle elongation is independent of CDK1 activity or TPX2, HURP, and Eg5 protein level in Fzr1−/− oocytes. (A) CDK1 activity measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in Fzr1−/− and control fl/fl oocytes at 2.5 h after GVB. Activity levels were significantly higher in Fzr1−/− oocytes (*p = 0.037, one-way ANOVA with Tukey's test). Treatment with 2.5 μM flavopiridol reduced CDK1 activity to levels that were not significantly different from control oocytes. (B) Spindle length for control and Fzr1−/− oocytes, with and without flavopiridol treatment, measured 2.5 h after GVB. Flavopiridol treatment of Fzr1−/− oocytes did not significantly alter spindle length. (C) Representative immunoblots for TPX2, HURP, and Eg5 on protein from GV-arrested oocytes collected from Fzr1−/− mice or controls, with n = 50–100 oocytes per lane and at least two separate experiments performed. (D) Densitometric analysis of immunoblots in C. Error bars show SD.
