title: P59, an hsp 90-binding protein. Cloning and sequencing of its cDNA and preparation of a peptide-directed polyclonal antibody.
abstract: The primary sequence of the rabbit liver cDNA coding for protein p59 has been determined. The protein binds to the 90-kDa heat shock protein (hsp 90) and is associated with it, including when hsp 90 participates in hetero-oligomeric complexes of untransformed mammalian steroid receptors that sediment at 8-10 S. The cloned cDNA codes for an open reading frame of 458 amino acids defining a yet unknown protein. However, 55% amino acid homology to peptidyl-prolyl isomerase is found between amino acids 41 and 137, suggesting rotamase activity for p59, which speculatively may apply to bound hsp 90 and thus be implied in the intracellular trafficking of hetero-oligomeric forms of steroid hormone receptors. A polyclonal antibody derived from the COOH-terminal peptide 441-458 demonstrates a good affinity for rabbit, rat, and human "p59" protein. It interacts with at least one epitope, available in 8-10 S untransformed steroid receptor complexes and different from that recognized by the monoclonal antibody KN382/EC-1.
