Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), a molecular chaperone, is ubiquitous and involved in numerous cellular processes. To contribute to the relatively small collection of vertebrate Hsp90 sequences in the gene data bank, we cloned and sequenced horse (Equus caballus) Hsp90 alpha and beta cDNAs. This enabled identification of horse-specific primers for development of a convenient PCR-based method that could monitor horse stress tolerance. We analyzed the sequence data comparatively and phylogenetically with other Hsp90 cDNA sequences, and identified vertebrate-specific and isoform-specific conserved regions to facilitate future molecular investigations of Hsp90 functions. We found 4 highly conserved regions to vertebrate Hsp90 exclusively and 27 amino acids conserved among but differing between Hsp90 alpha and Hsp90 beta sequences. Protein-based phylogenetic trees revealed high conservation between mammal species within Hsp90 alpha and beta clusters. Comparison of nucleotide and amino acid substitution levels suggests that horse Hsp90 beta has undergone strong purifying selection, while rat Hsp90 beta and hamster Hsp90 alpha have been positively selected. Surprisingly, fish Hsp90 alpha genes clearly clustered with Hsp90 beta genes, and no distinct placement of fish Hsp90 alpha protein was found. The Hsp90 alpha isoform is apparently the result of beta gene duplication. Our results highlight the importance of organism- and isoform-specific Hsp90 functional analyses in describing the role of Hsp90 in cells.
