Xkid is a Xenopus chromokinesin required for metaphase chromosome alignment and for meiosis I to meiosis II transition in oocytes. The aim of this work was to study the regulation of Xkid by phosphorylation using the Xenopus oocyte and egg extract systems. To achieve this, a reliable method to express proteins in egg extract by addition of in vitro transcribed mRNAs was established. Xkid was found to be efficiently phosphorylated in meiosis and mitosis at the cdk1 site. Although phosphoXkid localized efficiently to the mitotic chromosomes, phosphorylation at the cdk1 site had no role in the binding of Xkid to the chromosomes but prevented the protein to localize to the spindle microtubules like the endogenous protein. The dominant negat...
