Descriptor factor promotor de la maduración
Entry term(s) factor promotor de la fase M
factor promotor de la mitosis
histona H1 cinasa específica de la fase M
Scope note: Proteína cinasa que dirige los ciclos mitótico y meiótico en todos los organismos eucariotas. En la meiosis, induce a los ovocitos inmaduros a emprender la maduración meiótica. En la mitosis, interiene en la transición G2/M. Una vez activado por las CICLINAS, el MPF fosforila directamente algunas de las proteínas que intervienen en la ruptura del envoltorio nuclear, en la condensación cromosómica, formación del huso y degración de las ciclinas. La subunidad catalítica del MPF es la PROTEINA P34CDC2.

Scope note: Protein kinase that drives both the mitotic and meiotic cycles in all eukaryotic organisms. In meiosis it induces immature oocytes to undergo meiotic maturation. In mitosis it has a role in the G2/M phase transition. Once activated by CYCLINS; MPF directly phosphorylates some of the proteins involved in nuclear envelope breakdown, chromosome condensation, spindle assembly, and the degradation of cyclins. The catalytic subunit of MPF is PROTEIN P34CDC2.
