The mouse cDNA and its genomic clones encoding the epididymal secretory glycoprotein ME1 were identified. The Me1 gene spans 15kb with four exons and three introns. The deduced amino-acid sequence of the ME1 cDNA revealed that it consists of 149 amino acid residues, which contain a signal peptide characteristic of secretory proteins, six cysteine residues and a proline-rich region conserved in the orthologous proteins. Northern blot analysis revealed that 1.3kb ME1 mRNA is highly expressed in the mouse epididymis. The polyclonal antibodies generated against human HE1 (ME1 orthologous protein) expressed in bacteria reacted with approximately 17 to 25kDa components in mouse epididymis crude extract. The reduction of the molecular mass of the recombinant ME1 protein with the digestion of glycopeptidase A indicated that it is modified by Asn-linked glycosylation.
