cDNA of canine heat shock protein 70 (HSP70).
Full-length canine HSP70 cDNA was sequenced and the expression of HSP70 mRNA was investigated. The full-length cDNA sequence of the HSP70 gene (2322 bp) contained a single long open reading frame (1920 bp) coding a protein of 640 amino acids. The amino acid sequence of the canine HSP70 gene shared about 90-95% sequence similarity with bovine, human and mouse HSP70 proteins. Southern blot analysis with HSP70 probe gave three distinct bands of 9.4 kb, 5 kb and 4.4 kb in BamHI digests and two distinct bands of 19 kb and 4 kb in EcoRI digests. Canine HSP70 mRNA was detectable in canine peripheral blood mononuclear cells and stomach but not in liver, kidney, spleen, small intestine, large intestine and skin of dogs.[1]References
