A novel ubiquitin carboxyl terminal hydrolase is involved in toad oocyte maturation
p28, a 28kD protein from toad (Bufo bufo gargarizans) oocytes, was identified by using p13suc1-agarose affinity chromatography. Sequence homology analysis of the full-length cDNA of p28(Gene Bank accession number...

Temperature dependent expression of cdc2 and cyclin B1 in spermatogenic cells during spermatogenesis
p34cdc2 and Cyclin B1 are key components of cell cycle controlling machine and are believed to play a fundamental role in gametogenesis. It is also well known that, in scrotal mammals, spermatogenesis depends gre...

Low temperature induces oocytes p34cdc2 synthesis and accumulation- the acquisition of competence to resume meiosis in toad oocytes
Full grown oocytes derived from Bufo Bufo gargarizans rearing at high temperature environment (24 °C), never underwent GVBD after progesterone treatment. No p34cdc2 H1 kinase activity was detected in the oocytes ...
