CDK1 mediates the metabolic regulation of DNA double-strand break repair in metaphase II oocytes by Tian-Jin Xia, Feng-Yun Xie, Juan Chen, Xiao-Guohui Zhang, Sen Li, Qing-Yuan Sun, Qin Zhang, Shen Yin, Xiang-Hong Ou, Jun-Yu Ma

“…Results By analyzing DSB repair pathways in oocytes at different stages, we found that break-induced replication (BIR) and RAD51-mediated homology-directed repair (HDR) were highly active in germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) oocytes but suppressed in metaphase II (MII) oocytes and the BIR in oocytes was promoted by CDK1 activity. By culturing oocytes in different media, we found that high-energy media, such as DMEM, decreased CDK1 protein levels and suppressed BIR or HDR in MII oocytes. …”
