Members of the family of BPI (bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein)-like proteins are as yet incompletely characterized, particularly in cattle, where full-length sequence information is available for only three of the 13 family members known from other species. Structural bioinformatic analyses incorporating bovine homologues of several members of the BPI-like protein family, including two forms of bovine parotid secretory protein (PSP), showed that this family is also present in cattle. Expression analyses of several members of the BPI-like protein family in cattle, including PSP (Bsp30), von Ebner's minor salivary gland protein (VEMSGP) and lung-specific X protein (LUNX), showed a restricted pattern of expression, consistent with earlier hypotheses that these proteins function in the innate immune response to bacteria. The possible role of bovine PSP in susceptibility to pasture bloat in cattle is discussed.

ABSTRACT Among inbred strains of mice, a major protein, PSP, produced and secreted by the parotid glands, shows variation in electrophoretic mobility and in the peptides produced by cyanogen bromide treatment. This variation is inherited as a single Mendelian factor with two alleles showing co-dominant expression. In genetic crosses, it segregates independently from the amylase complex and is closely linked to the agouti locus on chromosome 2. The protein ratios between amylase and PSP in saliva, obtained by scanning of electrophoretic gel separations, were found to reflect genetic differences in salivary amylase production in strains YBR/Cv and C3H/As.

ABSTRACT We report the cloning and sequencing of a new cDNA sequence encoding a protein from the mouse seminal vesicle. An open reading frame of 297 nucleotides encoded a protein of 99 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 11·454 kDa. The first 21 amino acids constituted a signal peptide followed by 78 amino acids encoding the secreted protein. The cDNA sequence comprised a 3′ untranslated region of 226 bp and the polyadenylation signal AATAAA, 19 bp upstream from the poly(A)+ tail. A high degree of homology was found between this protein and members of the family of seminal vesicle secretory (SVS) proteins, especially rat SVS VI. Northern blot analysis indicated the presence of a 0·7 kb mRNA species in the mRNAs of seminal vesicle tissue. Castration resulted in a marked decrease in the level of the 0·7 kb mRNA encoding the protein, whereas administration of testosterone to castrated males restored the 0·7 kb mRNA.

A cluster of related genes whose products show structural identity with bactericidal permeability-increasing protein (BPI) has been identified in the genomes of both mice (on chromosome 2) and humans (on chromosome 20). Genes in the cluster include those encoding parotid secretory protein (PSP), von Ebner minor salivary gland protein (VEMSGP) and sequences in the PLUNC (palate, lung and nasal epithelium clone) family, among others. This mini-review addresses the tissue-specific expression of these genes in the mouse.
