PG - 241-51 AB - The avian oviduct receptor binding factor-1 (RBF-1) is a 10 kDa nuclear matrix protein that was originally identified through its ability to effect high affinity interaction of activated progesterone receptor (PR) with chromatin. In the present study, the RBF-1 is shown to not be restricted to reproductive tissues (e.g., oviduct) but present in all avian tissues examined by Western blot analysis with a monoclonal antibody prepared against purified RBF-1. The heart and pancreas had the highest and lowest RBF-1 levels, respectively; the concentration ranging by approximately 50-fold in these tissues. The 10 kDa size of the RBF-1 detected in all tissues suggests no significant tissue-specific differences in the protein. This was consistent with the finding that purified hepatic and oviductal RBF-1 have identical amino-terminal sequence. Using a recently isolated cDNA to RBF-1, the levels of RBF-1 mRNA were found to correlate well with the ubiquitous presence of the protein as well as tissue-specific differences in concentration. The presence of RBF-1 in non-progesterone responsive tissues suggests the possibility that RBF-1 may not be specifically involved in PR-DNA interactions but may play a more diverse role, possibly involving other steroid receptors such as the glucocorticoid receptor.
