Abstract

The steroid hormone antheridiol regulates sexual development in the fungus Achlya ambisexualis. Analyses of in vivo-labeled proteins from hormone-treated cells revealed that one of the characteristic antheridiol-induced proteins appeared to be very similar to the Achyla 85-kilodalton (kDa) heat shock protein. Analysis of in vitro translation products of RNA isolated from control, heat-shocked, or hormone-treated cells demonstrated an increased accumulation of mRNA encoding a similar 85-kDa protein in both the heat-shocked and hormone-treated cells. Northern (RNA) blot analyses with a Drosophila melanogaster hsp83 probe indicated that a mRNA species of approximately 2.8 kilobases was substantially enriched in both heat-shocked and hormone-treated cells. The monoclonal antibody AC88, which recognizes the non-hormone-binding component of the Achyla steroid receptor, cross-reacted with Achlya hsp85 in cytosols from heat-shocked cells. This monoclonal antibody also recognized both the hormone-induced and heat shock-induced 85-kDa in vitro translation products. Taken together, these data suggest that similar or identical 85-kDa proteins are independently regulated by the steroid hormone antheridiol and by heat shock and that this protein is part of the Achyla steroid receptor complex. Our results demonstrate that the association of hsp90 family proteins with steroid receptors observed in mammals and birds extends also to the eucaryotic microbes and suggest that this association may have evolved early in steroid-responsive systems.
