A cDNA library was prepared in λgt11 from poly(A)+mRNA isolated from a pure population ofXenopusround spermatids and screened with an antibody against SP3–5 (sperm-specific proteins) ofXenopussperm. Positive clones were sequenced and an arginine-rich clone, designated pXSP531, was obtained. The 473-nucleotide sequence of pXSP531 contained an open reading frame of 237 nucleotides which was preceded by a 5′ untranslated region of 67 nucleotides. The 3′ untranslated region contained 149 nucleotides, including a consensus polyadenylation signal (AAATAAAA). Twenty nucleotides of a poly(A) tail was contained in the pXSP531. SP3–5 were separated from each other by reverse-phase chromatography and sequenced. The amino acid sequence of the peptide fragments which were obtained by digestion of SP4 with V8 protease and separated by reverse-phase chromatography was identical to the sequence of the N-terminal 43 and C-terminal 15 amino acids deduced from the nucleotide sequence of pXSP531. This result demonstrates that pXSP531 encodes SP4. Northern hybridization of RNA extracted from primary spermatocytes and round spermatids on Days 0 and 6 with SP4 cDNA probe (pXSP531) showed that SP4 mRNA is present both in primary spermatocytes and in round spermatids as is protamine mRNA in the rainbow trout. The size of the SP4 mRNA in round spermatids on Day 0 was longer by 60 nucleotides compared to that in primary spermatocytes and that in spermatids on Day 6 was shorter by 30 nucleotides compared to that on Day 0. These size differences were due to differences in the length of the poly(A) tracts because digestion of poly(A) with ribonuclease H resulted in the shortening of mRNA to the same size for three stages.
