Cytoplasmic polyadenylation stimulates the translation of several dormant mRNAs during oocyte maturation in Xenopus. Polyadenylation is regulated by the cytoplasmic polyadenylation element (CPE), a cis-acting element in the 3'-untranslated region of responding mRNAs, and its associated factor CPEB. CPEB also binds maskin, a protein that in turn interacts with eIF4E, the cap-binding factor. Here, we report that based on antibody and mRNA reporter injection assays, maskin prevents oocyte maturation and the translation of the CPE-containing cyclin B1 mRNA by blocking the association of eIF4G with eIF4E. Dissociation of the maskin-eIF4E complex is essential for cyclin B1 mRNA translational activation, and requires not only cytoplasmic polyadenylation, but also the poly(A)-binding protein. These results suggest a molecular mechanism by which CPE- containing mRNA is activated in early development.
