In this study, butyrolactone I (BL I), a potent and specific inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases (cdk), is shown to inhibit germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) in pig oocytes. Results suggest that both chromosome condensation and GVBD could occur without activation of cdc2 kinase, whereas an increase in MAP kinase activity may be a requisite for GVBD in pig oocytes in conditions when cdc2 kinase activation is blocked by BL I.
