Ovulated oocytes are arrested at the metaphase of second meiotic division (metaphase-II). In this study, we showed possible role of mitogen-and stress-activated kinase 1, MSK1 known as a downstream kinase of the Mos-MAPK pathway, in the mouse oocytes. MSK1 exhibited the ability to phosphorylate four Ser/Thr residues of meiotic cell-cycle regulator EMI2. The phosphorylation was required for up-regulation of the EMI2 activity in the oocytes. These results suggested that mouse MSK1 may play a key role in the metaphase-II arrest through phosphorylation of EMI2.
