All proteins of this world are constructed in compliance with the same rule. Accordingly, two totally unrelated proteins, on the average, share 30 identical tripeptides, two tetrapeptides, and one pentapeptide per 500 residues. With this in mind, the 221-residue-long influenza virus hemagglutinin II (IVHA-II), as a representative of alien antigens, was compared with three diverse proteins representing the host: 533-residue-long chicken c-src protein kinase (c-src product of the cellular oncogene of Rous sarcoma virus), 595-residue-long human estrogen receptor, and 585-residue-long human serum albumin. Forty-three tripeptides, two tetrapeptides, and one pentapeptide of IVHA-II were also found in one or the other of the three host proteins. Six regions of IVHA-II (9-22 residues long) in which oligopeptides were clustered that were identical to their host oligopeptides were defined as "host-homologous" regions, and the remaining regions were called "nonself" or "pathogen-specific" regions. Because the total number of host proteins is vastly more than three, host-homologous regions were no doubt underestimated, while only one or two regions of IVHA-II must remain as truly pathogen-specific. Nevertheless, oligopeptide analysis of two known T-cell response-eliciting peptide fragments and one known inert peptide fragment of a virus and a malarial protozoan readily revealed the latter to be a host-homologous region. Of the two known T-cell response-eliciting peptide fragments, one was more nonself than the other. Not surprisingly, the more nonself fragment elicited helper T-cell response from individuals of diverse major histocompatibility complex haplotypes, whereas the less nonself fragment elicited cytotoxic T-cell response only from HLA-A2 human individuals.

A major collagen-binding glycoprotein from rat L6 skeletal myoblasts, designated gp46, is phosphorylated in vivo. In this report the relative phosphorylation state of gp46 was examined using isoelectric focusing to identify the phosphorylated and unphosphorylated forms of gp46. Two major and one minor isoform of gp46 were identified that could be related to the phosphorylation state of gp46. The relative percentage of unphosphorylated to phosphorylated gp46 increased 10% in myoblasts heat-shocked at 42 degrees C for 24 h. Treatment of myoblasts with phorbol ester or dibutyryl-cAMP had no effect on the phosphorylation ratio of gp46. Transformation of L6 myoblasts with Rous sarcoma virus, likewise, had no effect on the phosphorylation ratio. However, ras-transformed L6 myoblasts showed a 12% increase in phosphorylation of gp46. These results indicate that gp46 does not undergo large changes in phosphorylation status. Pulse-chase labelling showed that the phosphorylation of gp46 occurred either co-translationally or soon after translation, suggesting that gp46 was phosphorylated by a constitutively active protein kinase.

The transforming protein of polyomavirus, middle T (mT), forms a complex with two cellular enzymes: the protein tyrosine kinase pp60c-src and a phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 3-kinase. A mutant virus, Py1178T, encodes an mT protein which associates with and activates pp60c-src to the same extent as the wild type but fails to associate with PtdIns 3-kinase. To investigate relationships between activation of pp60c-src, association of PtdIns 3-kinase, and cellular levels of the second messenger inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3), we examined the effects of wild-type and mutant mT proteins on inositol metabolism in rat and mouse fibroblasts. Expression of either wild-type or 1178T mT caused a 300 to 500% increase in the InsP3 level. Cells transformed by Rous sarcoma virus also showed similar increases in InsP3 levels. Mutant mT proteins which failed to activate pp60c-src (NG59 and 1387T) had no effect on InsP3 levels. Pulse-chase experiments with [3H]inositol showed that the turnover of phosphoinositides was increased in cells transformed by either wild-type polyomavirus or Py1178T as compared with the normal parent cell line. The turnover of inositol phosphates was unchanged upon transformation. These data indicate that cells expressing either wild-type or mutant 1178T mT or pp60v-src exhibit elevated levels of InsP3 because of activation of phospholipase C. This activation appears to depend, directly or indirectly, upon activation of pp60src protein kinase activity. Activation of pp60c-src and elevation of InsP3 content are not sufficient for full transformation. Full transformation also requires the association of mT-pp60c-src complexes with PtdIns 3-kinase.

We have isolated four activated transforming human c-src mutants derived spontaneously from viruses carrying the normal human c-src (SRC) genes in the form of Rous sarcoma virus. These mutants induced transformed cell morphology distinguishable from each other in vitro as well as tumors in chicks, whereas normal SRC-carrying viruses did not. Analyses of the transforming SRC proteins together with the normal SRC protein showed that levels of the carboxy-terminal Tyr-phosphorylation were negatively correlated with both transforming ability and protein kinase (PKase) activity as determined by in vitro autophosphorylation. It was observed that two cell lysis methods, that is, NP-40 and RIPA, yielded two different phosphorylated forms of transforming SRC proteins: one possessed low levels of phosphorylation at the autophosphorylation site and the other possessed high levels of phosphorylation at this site. Using the two types of transforming SRC preparations, we have studied in vitro SRC-PKase reactions in relation to in vivo and in vitro autophosphorylation and in vitro phosphorylation of an exogenous substrate. A possible functional relationship between autophosphorylation and SRC-PKase expression is discussed.

Three different types of experiments are presented in this paper, the results of which converge to indicate that the viral src protein associates with and modulates the activity and/or the specificity of a serine/threonine protein kinase. Firstly, a 60-kDa protein from extracts of FR3T3 rat fibroblasts transformed by wild-type Rous sarcoma virus (SRD-FR3T3) is shown to be immunoprecipitated with a monoclonal antibody (mAb) raised against bacterially produced pp60v-src, the mAb327 [Lipsich, L. A., Lewis, A. J. & Brugge, J. S. (1983) J. Virol. 48, 352-360] and to be phosphorylated in vitro at serine/threonine/tyrosine residues, in the ratio 25:53:22. Under the same experimental conditions, the pp60c-src protein immunoprecipitated with mAb327 from extracts of NIH c-src overexpresser cells is phosphorylated exclusively on tyrosine residues. Secondly, the results of immunoprecipitation experiments using a tumor-bearing rabbit (TBR) serum and reported in an earlier work [David-Pfeuty, T. & Hovanessian, A. (1984) Eur. J. Biochem. 140, 325-342], together with those reported here, suggest that the TBR-immunoprecipitated pp60v-src coprecipitates with a cellular protein related to the 60-kDa subunit of the Ca2+/calmodulin protein kinase II from brain. Finally, partially purified preparations of pp60v-src, but not of pp60c-src, are shown to contain a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase activity that phosphorylates a 52-kDa protein substrate.

The sequence specificity of chicken mRNA N6-adenosine methyltransferase has been investigated in vivo. Localization of six new N6-methyladenosine sites on Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) virion RNA has confirmed our extended consensus sequence for methylation: RGACU, where R is usually a G (7/12). We have also observed A (2/12) and U (3/12) at the -2 position (relative to m6A at +1) but never a C. At the +3 position, the U was observed 10/12 times; an A and a C were observed once each in weakly methylated sequences. The extent of methylation varied between the different sites up to a maximum of about 90%. To test the significance of this consensus sequence, it was altered by site-specific mutagenesis, and methylation was assayed after transfection of mutated RSV DNA into chicken embryo fibroblasts. We found that changing the G at -1 or the U at +3 to any other residue inhibited methylation. However, inhibition of methylation at all four of the major sites in the RSV src gene did not detectably alter the steady-state levels of the three viral RNA species or viral infectivity. Additional mutants that inactivated the src protein kinase activity produced less virus and exhibited relatively less src mRNA in infected cells.

We have identified and substantially purified a tyrosine protein kinase from normal bovine brain that is immunologically related to the product of the Rous sarcoma virus oncogene (pp60v-src). The enzyme, a 61-kDa protein (p61), is solubilized with detergent from bovine cerebral cortical membranes and purified by column chromatography. In the purest preparations, this protein is phosphorylated only on tyrosine, but it can also be a substrate for serine- and threonine-specific protein kinases. The p61 protein phosphorylates the heavy chain of immunoglobulins from rabbits bearing Rous sarcoma virus-induced tumors (TBR IgG) but not normal IgG. TBR IgG precipitates the 61-kDa phosphoprotein and protein kinase activity from purified preparations. The activity of the purified brain tyrosine kinase is 10 times higher in the presence of 7-10 mM Mn2+ and 6 mM Mg2+ than it is with 6 mM Mg2+ alone. With Mn2+, the p61 enzyme has a Km for ATP of 2 microM. All preparations of p61 also contain a 64-kDa protein (p64) that is phosphorylated on tyrosine. Measurement of the Stokes radius of p61 and p64 by gel filtration shows that they are not physically associated in buffer containing the nonionic detergent Lubrol 12A9. The p64 protein is not precipitated by TBR IgG. We do not know whether p64 is only a substrate for the p61 tyrosine kinase or is itself a kinase.

Intestinal brush-border-derived membrane vesicles contain, after demembranation in the presence of Ca2+, a subset of polypeptides that are specifically solubilized by the addition of Ca2+ chelators. As described previously, this fractionation scheme leads to the enrichment of two major proteins (I and II), one of which has been shown to be identical to the cellular p36K target of Rous sarcoma virus-encoded tyrosine-specific protein kinase (Gerke, V., and Weber, K., (1984) EMBO J. 3, 227-233). We have applied a similar protocol to membrane vesicles from porcine liver and purified a third Ca2+-binding protein (III). All three proteins had wide tissue distributions, and were absent from brain, red blood cells, and cardiac and skeletal muscle. Relative amounts varied between tissues, with protein I low in liver and protein III very low in intestine. Despite their similar extractability the three proteins (I, II, and III) are clearly distinct as far as immunological, biochemical, and physicochemical properties are concerned. They also show characteristic differences in their affinities for Ca2+ ions. The association constants of Ca2+ binding for proteins I and III have been estimated by means of indirect methods to be 10(4) M-1 (protein I) and 10(6) M-1 (protein III), while the direct Hummel-Dreyer method reveals Ca2+ binding to protein II, characterized by an association constant of 0.4 X 10(5) M-1 in the absence and 0.2 X 10(5) M-1 in the presence of 2 mM MgCl2. Conformational changes upon binding Ca2+ are described for protein II using circular dichroism, fluorescence emission, and UV difference spectra. These alterations could be attributed to an increased exposure of tyrosine and tryptophan residues to a more aqueous environment, and led to increased hydrophobicity of protein II that would explain the observed Ca2+-dependent interaction with hydrophobic matrices like phenyl-Sepharose.

We provide direct evidence that serine 17 is the major site of serine phosphorylation in p60v-src, the transforming protein of Rous sarcoma virus, and in its cellular homolog, p60c-src. The amino acid composition of the tryptic peptide containing the major site of serine phosphorylation in p60v-src was deduced by peptide map analysis of the protein labeled biosynthetically with a variety of radioactive amino acids. Manual Edman degradation revealed that the phosphorylated serine in this peptide was the amino terminal residue. These data are consistent only with the phosphorylation of serine 17. The major site of serine phosphorylation in chicken p60c-src, the cellular homolog of p60v-src, is contained in a tryptic peptide identical to that containing serine 17 in p60v-src of Schmidt Ruppin Rous sarcoma virus of subgroup A. Serine 17 is therefore also phosphorylated in p60c-src. The p60v-src protein encoded by Prague Rous sarcoma virus was found to contain two sites of tyrosine phosphorylation. The previously unrecognized site of tyrosine phosphorylation may be tyrosine 205 or possibly tyrosine 208. Treatment of Prague Rous sarcoma virus-infected cells with vanadyl ions stimulated the protein kinase activity of p60v-src and increased the phosphorylation of tyrosine 416 but not the phosphorylation of the additional site of tyrosine phosphorylation.

Expression of p60v-src of Rous sarcoma virus in cultured chicken embryo neuroretinal cells was previously shown to result in the transformation and sustained proliferation of normally quiescent cell populations. We show here that Rous sarcoma virus variants that encode p60c-src, the cellular homolog of p60v-src, lack the ability to induce morphological transformation and cell proliferation of cultured neuroretinal cells. Neuroretinal cells infected with c-src-containing viruses, however, possess no less p60 protein kinase activity assayed in the immune complex than those infected with the transformation-defective Rous sarcoma virus mutants PA101 or PA104, which do stimulate the growth of these cells.
