Microinjection of monoclonal antibodies (lines 238, 172, and 259) directed against the ras gene product, p21, into Xenopus laevis oocytes accelerated progesterone-induced germinal vesicle breakdown. Antibody 238 had the greatest effect on the acceleration of progesterone-induced oocyte maturation, and this effect was correlated with in vitro inhibition of adenylate cyclase (EC 4.6.1.1) activity in a concentration-dependent manner. Inhibition of adenylate cyclase by antibody 238 was also measured in membranes prepared from oocytes pretreated with either cholera toxin or pertussis toxin. These results suggest a role for the ras gene product in the regulation of vertebrate cell adenylate cyclase activity.
