Mouse testes contain two size classes of actin mRNA that are differentially expressed during spermatogenesis.

Abstract:

:Using several actin isotype-specific cDNA probes, we found actin mRNA of two size classes, 2.1 and 1.5 kilobases (kb), in extracts of polyadenylated and nonpolyadenylated RNA from sexually mature CD-1 mouse testes. Although the 2.1-kb sequence was present in both meiotic and postmeiotic testicular cell types, it decreased manyfold in late haploid cells. The 1.5-kb actin sequence was not detectable in meiotic pachytene spermatocytes (or in liver or kidney cells), but was present in round and elongating spermatids and residual bodies. To differentiate between the beta- and gamma-actin mRNAs, we isolated a cDNA, pMGA, containing the 3' untranslated region of a mouse cytoplasmic actin that has homology to the 3' untranslated region of a human gamma-actin cDNA but not to the 3' untranslated regions of human alpha-, beta-, or cardiac actins. Dot blot hybridizations with pMGA detected high levels of presumptive gamma-actin mRNA in pachytene spermatocytes and round spermatids, with lower amounts found in elongating spermatids. Hybridization with the 3' untranslated region of a rat beta-actin probe revealed that round spermatids contained higher levels of beta-actin mRNA than did pachytene spermatocytes or residual bodies. Both probes hybridized to the 2.1-kb actin mRNA but failed to hybridize to the 1.5-kb mRNA.
