After completion of meiosis I, the oocyte immediately enters meiosis II and forms a metaphase II (MII) spindle without an interphase, which is fundamental for generating a haploid gamete. Here, we identify tudor domain-containing protein 3 (Tdrd3) as a novel regulator of oocyte meiosis. Although early mitotic inhibitor 2 (Emi2) protein has been shown to ensure the meiosis I to II transition and the subsequent MII spindle formation by inhibiting the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), how it accumulates after meiosis I has remained unresolved. We isolated Tdrd3 as a protein binding specifically and directly toEmi2mRNA. In GV-stage mouse oocytes,Emi2mRNA assembled into RNA granules containing Tdrd3, while cyclin B1 mRNA, which was translated in early meiosis I, formed different granules. Knockdown of Tdrd3 attenuated Emi2 synthesis in meiosis II without affecting cyclin B1 synthesis in meiosis I. Moreover, Tdrd3-deficient oocytes entered interphase and failed to form an MII spindle after completion of meiosis I. These defects were rescued by GFP-Emi2 expressed after meiosis I. Taken together, our results demonstrate the importance of Tdrd3-mediated translational control ofEmi2mRNA, which promotes Emi2 synthesis in meiosis II, for the progression of meiosis.
