The localizations of tubulin and calmodulin were investigated in the mouse oocyte during the second meiosis by fluorescently labeling and microinjecting these proteins prepared from porcine brain tissue. When in-jected, both tubulin and calmodulin were quickly incorporated into the pre-formed meiotic apparatus of the oocyte at metaphase. The localization of label-ed tubulin was coincident with that of birefringence. However, the localization of labeled calmodulin was somewhat different: the fluorescence of calmodulin was intense in the polar regions of the spindle. After the chromosomes began to move, followed by parthenogenetic activation upon microinjection of a calcium buffer, these two fluorescent proteins, localized in the meiotic apparatus, mov-ed to the interzonal region of the spindle during anaphase. At late anaphase and throughout telophase, calmodulin was excluded from the mid-bodylike struc-tures in the interzonal region, whereas tubulin did accumulate in these struc-tures.
