  • Title: Developmentally regulated expression of APG-1, a member of heat shock protein 110 family in murine male germ cells.
    Author: Kaneko Y, Kimura T, Nishiyama H, Noda Y, Fujita J.
    Journal: Biochem Biophys Res Commun; 1997 Apr 07; 233(1):113-6. PubMed ID: 9144406.
    Abstract:
    Apg-1 encodes a heat shock protein belonging to the heat shock protein 110 family, and is inducible by a 32 degrees C to 39 degrees C heat shock. Northern blot analysis of the testis from immature and adult mice, and of the purified germ cells revealed the quantitative change of the apg-1 transcripts during germ cell development. By in situ hybridization histochemistry the expressions of the apg-1 transcripts were detected in germ cells at specific stages of development including spermatocytes and spermatids. Although heat-induction of the apg-1 transcripts was observed in W/Wv mutant testis lacking germ cells, it was not detected in wild-type testis nor in the purified germ cells. Thus, the apg-1 expression is not heat-regulated but developmentally regulated in germ cells, suggesting that APG-1 plays a role in normal development of germ cells.
