Two prominent proteins (30 and 33 kD) in a purified preparation of the sheep pineal gland were studied. Amino acid analysis of tryptic peptides indicated that the 33-kD protein was the epsilon isoform of the 14-3-3 family of proteins, and that the 30-kD protein was the zeta isoform. The sheep pineal gland was found to have six other 14-3-3 isoforms in addition to the epsilon and zeta, suggesting that copurification of the epsilon and zeta forms may reflect the existence of homo- or heterodimers comprised of these isoforms. To characterize 14-3-3 proteins further in the pineal gland, the full sequence of the epsilon isoform and a partial sequence of the zeta isoform were cloned from a rat pineal cDNA library and are reported here. Tissue distribution studies using Western blot analysis revealed that rat pineal and retina have levels of 14-3-3 protein similar to those found in brain, and that relatively low levels occur in other tissues. This investigation also revealed the epsilon isoform was present at high levels in the rat pineal gland early in development and decreased steadily thereafter and that 30-kD isoforms exhibited the inverse developmental pattern.
