✦ Synopsis

C2PA is a protein of unknown function that is expressed in spermatocytes. PDZ-RGS3 is a signaling molecule whose PDZ domain binds Ephrin-B2 and mediates reverse signaling of this protein. C2PA and PDZ-RGS3 have identical PDZ domains. To explore the function of C2PA, we compared it with PDZ-RGS3 with respect to tissue distribution, subcellular localization, and biochemistry. C2PA is expressed only in testis, whereas PDZ-RGS3 is expressed in various tissues including brain, heart, lung, liver, spleen, kidney, small intestine, skeletal muscles, and testis. These proteins also differ in their subcellular distribution, in that PDZ-RGS3 is cytosolic while C2PA is exclusively nuclear. C2PA is distributed diffusely in the nucleus and forms a few foci at 37 degrees C. However, when cells are exposed to 42 degrees C, the number of C2PA foci is increased. These heat shock-induced foci colocalize with CREB-binding protein and heat shock factor-1. In contrast, the distribution of PDZ-RGS3 does not change during heat stress. When overexpressed, C2PA induces heat shock response element (HSE)-dependent gene transcription, whereas PDZ-RGS3 does not. These data suggest that the function of C2PA is distinct from that of PDZ-RGS3, and that C2PA may be involved in the heat shock response in testis.

Submicromolar concentrations of tributyltin (TBT), a commercially used organotin compound, were found to induce the expression of several stress proteins, most notably HSP89 and HSP70, in IMK-90 human diploid fibroblasts in a time-and dose-dependent manner. This induction can be demowtrated by quant

## Abstract Cultured rat forebrain astrocytes contained significant amounts of immunostainable heme oxygenase‐1 (HO‐1) isozyme, whereas HO‐1 was undetectable in spontaneously transformed rat astroglial cells (ATs). HO‐1 was inducible in both cell types by heat shock and by submicromolar amounts of
