Mature oocytes of mammals, in contrast to somatic cells, have 2 active X chromosomes. This situation might arise through either of 2 possible mechanisms. The germ line might be differentiated from somatic cells prior to X inactivation. Alternatively, an X chromosome in germ cells would be reactivated after prior inactivation. Data compatible with reactivation of the X in germ cells is presented; X-linked enzymes were compared in oocytes of XX and XO fetal mice. The activity of G6PD [glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase] is similar in the 2 classes of cells at early meiotic stages, but an XX/XO ratio of 2:1 is approached at later times; this suggests reactivation of the G6PD locus. For HPRT [hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase], a 2:1 ratio is observed at all meiotic stages. HPRT shows a large increase in enzyme activity during early meiosis, while G6PD does not. Synthesis of this enzyme at early meiotic stages probably accounts for differences between these data and those obtained for G6PD, and places the time of X reactivation at the entry to meiosis.
