| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is known that the spindle assembly checkpoint is less stringent in oocytes than in somatic cells. In this study, using live imaging and micromanipulation, we show that cytoplasmic size affects the efficiency of spindle assembly checkpoint. Moreover, we found that the cytoplasmic size-dependent dilution of nuclear factors, limits spindle assembly checkpoint efficiency. These data suggested that the stringency of the spindle assembly checkpoint is limited by the cytoplasmic/nucleus ratio, which explain why the spindle assembly checkpoint is weak in the large volume of oocytes.
