Mouse spermatogenic cells synthesize a 70-kDa protein (P70) closely related to the major heat-shock protein (hsp70) of mammalian cells (R. L. Allen, D. A. O'Brien, and E. M. Eddy,Mol. Cell. Biol.8,828–832, 1988). Expression of P70 is developmentally regulated while hsp70 is induced in response to stress, suggesting that P70 is the product of a unique member of theHsp70multigene family transcribed in spermatogenic cells. A strong candidate for this gene was theHsp70.2gene (Z. F. Zakeri, D. J. Wolgemuth, and C. R. Hunt,Mol. Cell. Biol.8,2925–2932, 1988). A DNA segment from the 5′ region ofHsp70.2hybridized to a 2.7-kb transcript with a temporal pattern of expression in mouse spermatogenic cells similar to the P70 protein. We used a polyclonal antiserum generated against a synthetic peptide predicted from theHsp70.2sequence to characterize its protein product and to isolate cDNA clones from a pachytene spermatocyte expression library. The antiserum reacted specifically with meiotic and postmeiotic spermatogenic cells on sections of mouse testis. It recognized the P70 protein on Western blots of two-dimensional gels and did not bind to other heat-shock proteins of spermatogenic or somatic cells. The cDNAs hybridized to a 2.7-kb mRNA that was abundant in unstressed pachytene spermatocytes and round spermatids but was not detected in other cell types. Two cDNAs were sequenced and found to be 99% homologous to the 3′ end of theHsp70.2gene. These data strongly supported the hypothesis that P70 is the expressed product of theHsp70.2gene in mouse spermatogenic cells.
