General annotation (Comments)

Function

Maternally supplied protein tyrosine kinase that phosphorylates and inhibits cdk1 and acts as a key regulator of meiosis in oocytes. Required to ensure the meiotic cell cycle in oocytes by phosphorylating cdk1 at 'Tyr-15', leading to inhibit cdk1 activity and prevent meiosis. Ref.1 Ref.3 Ref.4

Catalytic activity

ATP + a [protein]-L-tyrosine = ADP + a [protein]-L-tyrosine phosphate. Ref.1

Subcellular location

Nucleus By similarity.

Tissue specificity

Oocyte-specific maternally supplied protein. Present in immature and mature oocytes and in early (pregastrula) embryos, but not in post-gastrula embryos. Ref.3 Ref.4

Developmental stage

Expressed only after meiosis I. Not detected in full-grown stage VI immature oocytes (arrested at prophase I) and in oocytes undergoing germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) or meiosis I, while it is present in oocytes from 1-1.5 hour after GVBD, or from the onset of meiosis II. Ref.3 Ref.4

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. WEE1 subfamily.

Contains 1 protein kinase domain.

Caution

Was initially assigned as wee1 (Ref.1). However, it corresponds to the meiosis-specific protein WEE2 in mammals.
