Progesterone appears to be the physiological inducer of the resumption of the meiotic divisions in amphibian oocytes. Within minutes following exposure to progesterone there is a release of Ca2+and a transient rise in [cAMP]ifollowed by a fall in [cAMP]iand rise in [cGMP]iover the next 1–3 h. Agents that induce a fall in [cAMP]iinduce meiosis whereas those that prevent the fall and/or elevate [cAMP]iblock meiosis. A comparison of the conversion of injected [3H]-ATP to [3H]-cAMP and rate of hydrolysis of injected [3H]-cAMP following exposure to meiotic agonists and antagonists indicates that adenylate cyclase and not phosphodiesterase is the rate-limiting step in regulating [cAMP]iin the oocyte. These findings are consistent with a model in which progesterone initiates the resumption of the meiotic divisions by down-regulation of membrane adenylate cyclase via Ca2+release from specific membrane sites and that a translocation of Ca2+produces a coordinate activation of guanylate cyclase.
