Abstract: Aim to study the function of nuclear export sequence of cell division cycle 25 homolog B (Cdc25B) during mouse oocytes G2/M transition. mRNA of Cdc25B-WT, Cdc25B-Δ51, Cdc25B-Δ65 and fused plasmids of pEGFP-Cdc25B-WT, pEGFP-Cdc25B-Δ51, pEGFP-Cdc25B-Δ65 were microinjected into germinal vesicle stage mouse oocytes, the occurrence of germinal vesicle break down and subcellular localization of ectopic Cdc25B were observed. Results demonstrated that Cdc25B-Δ51 and Cdc25B-Δ65 all abrogated the function as meiosis inducer; Cdc25B-WT distributed mainly in cytoplasm while Cdc25B-Δ51 distributed in nuclear and cytoplasm, Cdc25B-Δ65 distributed in nuclear. Results suggested that a functional nuclear export sequence were amino acids between 52-65 in the N terminal region of Cdc25B.
