Human prostate-specific Ets (hPSE) is a novel Ets transcription factor and is exclusively expressed in human prostate glandular epithelium. To explore the role of PSE, we cloned the mouse Pse (mPse) and examined its pattern of expression. A sequence analysis indicated that mPse contains a conserved carboxy-terminal ETS DNA-binding domain and central Pointed domain, and the overall amino acid sequence shares 86% identity with that of hPSE. The ETS DNA-binding domain is highly conserved between human and mouse (98.8% sequence identity) and is similar to Drosophila dets4 (76.7% identity), but not similar to other Ets factors. A Northern blotting analysis revealed that mPse shows organ-specific expression. An in situ hybridization analysis of the prostate and intestine showed that mPse transcripts were present in their epithelial cells. mPse transactivates the promoter of the MASPIN gene in transient transfection assay. These results suggest that mPse encodes a novel Ets family member and is expressed in epithelial cells of restricted organs.
