Monoclonal antibodies were developed that are specific for Rous sarcoma virus structural, polymerase (reverse transcriptase) and transforming proteins. The monoclonal antibodies were shown to bind to purified virus proteins in an indirect 125I-labelled Protein A binding assay suitable for screening even very large numbers of hybridomas. Additional tests for specificity included radioimmunoprecipitation of purified virus structural proteins P12 and P27, of reverse transcriptase subunits alpha and beta, and of the transforming protein pp60v-src. Pilot immunofluorescence and protein kinase assays of the expression of virus proteins in avian and mammalian cells infected by wild-type virus as well as by temperature-sensitive, transformation-defective virus mutants revealed that synthesis of virus structural and transforming proteins is hardly affected by changes in temperature, whereas the pp60v-src-associated kinase activity is temperature-sensitive in cells infected by most, but not all the virus mutants.

Human cells contain a tyrosine-specific protein kinase, pp60c-src, that is highly homologous to the oncogene product, pp60v-src, from Rous sarcoma virus but is of unknown function. The expression of human pp60c-src was examined in tissues obtained from human adults and fetuses of 20-32 weeks' gestational age. pp60c-src was quantitated in tissue extracts by measurement of its protein kinase activity by the use of the immune complex protein kinase assay. Brain showed the highest levels of pp60c-src protein kinase activity, but all other human tissues examined had significant levels. Fetal tissues, including brain, showed three- to eight-fold higher levels of pp60c-src kinase activity than the corresponding adult tissues. pp60c-src kinase was found to be uniformly distributed in the adult brain; frontal, occipital, and parietal cortex, and cerebellum expressed equivalent amounts of pp60c-src kinase activity. The protein kinase activity in human tissues exhibited properties characteristic of pp60c-src in other species, namely, tyrosine-specific phosphorylation of specific antibody heavy chains, autophosphorylation of a 60,000 Mr protein following immunoprecipitation with a monoclonal antibody specific for pp60src, and sensitivity to inhibition by P1,P4-di(adenosine-5')tetraphosphate. The high levels of human pp60c-src in fetal tissues, particularly in brain, suggest a possible function in developmental processes.

A serine protein kinase specific for ribosomal protein S6 in 40 S subunits has been identified and purified greater than 15,000-fold (with 18% recovery) from developing chicken embryos. An analogous enzyme has also been detected in serum-stimulated chicken embryo fibroblasts. The S6 kinase was identified as a phosphoprotein of Mr approximately 65,000 based on (i) gel filtration, (ii) apparent autophosphorylation of a 65-kDa protein when several enzyme preparations were incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP in the absence of added substrate, (iii) comigration of S6 kinase activity with the autophosphorylating activity over a variety of chromatographic resins, and (iv) elution and renaturation of S6 kinase activity from the 65-kDa region of a sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel. The purified protein kinase is highly specific for S6 in 40 S subunits and does not appreciably phosphorylate casein, histone H1, mixed histones, protamine, polyoma virus capsid protein, or phosphorylase a/b. These characteristics suggest that this enzyme is unrelated to other protein kinases believed to be activated in stimulated cells, including cAMP-dependent protein kinase, protein kinase C (Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent enzyme), or Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases. In fibroblasts, S6 kinase is activated by a variety of mitogenic agents including the tyrosine-specific protein kinase of Rous sarcoma virus, pp60v-src, phorbol esters, and growth factors. The present identification and purification of the S6 kinase should facilitate future studies aimed at elucidating the molecular mechanisms by which signals from these diverse stimuli rapidly converge upon and activate this enzyme.

The cellular mutant B812 isolated from a Fisher rat cell line shows temperature sensitivity of focus formation induced by various retroviruses such as recombinant murine retrovirus containing the middle T gene of polyomavirus (PyMLV), Kirsten murine sarcoma virus, Moloney murine sarcoma virus, and recombinant murine retrovirus containing the src gene of Rous sarcoma virus. B812 cells, however, show normal ability to proliferate and synthesize protein at the nonpermissive temperature, suggesting that their mutation is in a gene specifically concerned with the process of transformation by retroviruses. In this work, experiments with hybrids of mutant and wild-type cells showed that the temperature-dependent defect of this mutant was complemented by wild-type cells. To determine the step of transformation that is restricted at the nonpermissive temperature in B812, we examined the expressions of the oncogene (middle T antigen) in no. 7 (wild-type cells) and B812 cultures infected with PyMLV (the chimeric retrovirus containing the middle T gene of polyomavirus) at the permissive and nonpermissive temperatures. Middle T-associated protein kinase activity, the expression of middle T antigen, and PyMLV-specific mRNA were reduced at the nonpermissive temperature in B812 cultures infected with PyMLV. However, integration of PyMLV into the chromosomal DNA of the mutant was not affected at the nonpermissive temperature. These results suggest that B812 cells have a mutation affecting the expression of viral mRNAs from integrated proviral DNA at the nonpermissive temperature.

Human cell lines with neuronal and neuroendocrine features were examined for their expression of pp60c-src, the cellular homolog of the transforming gene product pp60v-src of Rous sarcoma virus. Four neuroblastoma (LA-N-5, SH-SY5Y, Paju, and SK-N-MC) and three small-cell lung carcinoma (U-2020, U-1690, and U-1285) cell lines were selected on the basis of their stage of neurocrine differentiation, as determined by the expression of neuron-specific enolase. In an immune complex protein kinase assay, all seven cell lines displayed c-src kinase activity which was considerably higher than that found in nonneurocrine cells (human diploid fibroblasts, glioma, and non-small cell lung carcinoma cell lines). Furthermore, the c-src kinase activity, as determined by autophosphorylation or phosphorylation of an exogenous substrate, enolase, correlated with the stage of neurocrine differentiation. There was an approximately 30-fold difference in c-src kinase autophosphorylation activity between the cell lines representing the highest and lowest stages of neurocrine differentiation. A similar variation was found in the steady-state levels of the c-src protein of these cell lines. Highly differentiated neuroblastoma cells expressed two forms of the src protein. Digestion by Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease did reveal structural diversity in the amino-terminal ends of these c-src molecules. In summary, we found a clear correlation between c-src kinase activity and the stage of neuronal and neuroendocrine differentiation. Thus, the phenotypic similarity between neurons and neuroendocrine cells includes high c-src expression.

The transforming activity of the src gene product of Rous sarcoma virus, p60src, depends on both tyrosine specific protein kinase activity and N-terminal myristylation that is required for the plasma membrane association of this protein. The src proteins of two recovered avian sarcoma viruses, rASV157 and rASV1702, are exceptional in that they are not myristylated and yet are active in transformation. These viruses also induce tumors that regress rapidly. We found that their src proteins have unusual N-terminal structures: 30-45 amino acids of the env signal peptide are attached to internal (6th and 76th) amino acids in the src sequences. These altered N-terminal structures seem to be responsible for many abnormal properties of these mutant src proteins, including the early regression of tumors they induce.

A calmodulin-dependent protein kinase has been purified extensively from a Rous sarcoma virus-transformed rat cell line (RR1022) and from normal rat liver. The calmodulin-dependent protein kinase activity was manifested by in vitro phosphorylation of a single Mr 57 000 endogenous phosphoprotein (pp57) present in both the virally transformed cells and normal rat liver. The calmodulin-dependent protein kinase from transformed cells fractionated with the viral src gene product, pp60v-src, through a 650-fold purification of the oncogene product. However, purification of the calmodulin-dependent protein kinase from normal liver demonstrated that the calmodulin-dependent kinase was distinct from pp60v-src. Phosphorylation of pp57 by the kinase purified from the transformed cell line required Ca2+ and calmodulin, was inhibited by EDTA and was unaffected by cAMP or the heat- and acid-stable protein inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Troponin C did not substitute for calmodulin. A virtually identical calmodulin-dependent protein kinase activity was purified from rat liver by affinity chromatography on calmodulin-Sepharose. Phosphorylation of pp57 by the affinity-purified liver protein kinase was also observed, and required Ca2+ and calmodulin. EGTA and trifluoroperazine inhibited pp57 phosphorylation. The calmodulin-dependent protein kinase reported here did not phosphorylate substrates of known calmodulin-dependent protein kinases in vitro (myosin light chain, phosphorylase b, glycogen synthase, microtubule-associated proteins, tubulin, alpha-casein). Because none of these proteins served as substrates in vitro and pp57 was the only endogenous substrate found, the properties of this enzyme appear to be different from any previously described calmodulin-dependent protein kinase.

The ability of cloned Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) DNA encoding the v-src oncogene to neoplastically transform normal, diploid Syrian hamster embryo (SHE) cells was examined. Transfection of RSV DNA into early passage SHE cells resulted in a low but significant number of tumors when treated cells were injected into nude mice. Tumors formed with a low frequency (two tumors out of ten sites injected) and only after a long latency period (14 weeks). In contrast to the normal SHE cells, several different carcinogen-induced preneoplastic immortal SHE cell lines were highly susceptible to transformation by the v-src oncogene to the neoplastic phenotype. Tumors formed with high efficiency and a short latency period (less than 3 weeks). Further studies were performed to determine the basis for the inefficient transformation of the normal SHE cells. NeoR clones isolated after cotransfection of SHE cells with pSV2-neo and RSV DNAs were neither morphologically altered nor immortal and did not contain detectable levels of the v-src gene product. These results suggest that neoplastic transformation by v-src DNA in the normal cells is initially suppressed. However, cells from a v-src-induced tumor expressed v-src RNA, and antibody to v-src protein precipitated from the tumor cells a 60,000-molecular-weight protein which displayed protein kinase activity. Karyotypic analyses confirmed that the tumor was derived from Syrian hamster cells and suggested that it was clonal in nature. These results indicate that the v-src oncogene was primarily responsible for neoplastic transformation of SHE cells. In contrast to the results with the v-src oncogene, our previous studies showed that v-Ha-ras oncogene alone is unable to induce neoplastic transformation of SHE cells. Furthermore, the v-myc oncogene was able to compliment v-Ha-ras to neoplastically transform SHE cells, while cotransfection with v-src plus v-myc did not increase the incidence of tumors.

The Rous sarcoma virus (RSV)-transforming protein, pp60src, is a plasma membrane-associated tyrosine-specific protein kinase. A 36,000-Da cellular polypeptide (p36) which is phosphorylated at tyrosine in RSV-transformed chicken embryo fibroblasts (RSV-CEF) is also plasma membrane associated. To determine if p36 is directly phosphorylation and kinase activity in situ in the plasma membrane, src-dependent protein phosphorylation in membranes isolated from RSV-CEF has been characterized. These membrane preparations contained high ATPase and phosphoprotein phosphatase activities; but when sufficient concentrations of [gamma-32P]ATP were used, the phosphorylation of pp60src and the phosphorylation of p36 were linear for 1 min or more, and the initial rates of phosphorylation could therefore be determined. In membranes from RSV-CEF pp60src and p36 became phosphorylated predominantly at tyrosine, while in membranes from uninfected cells p36 was phosphorylated at low levels at serine. When membranes from RSV-CEF were preincubated with tumor-bearing rabbit (TBR) serum, the IgG became phosphorylated while the phosphorylation of p36 was inhibited, suggesting that p36 is directly phosphorylated by pp60src. Phosphorylation of pp60src, p36, and TBR-IgG was dependent on growth temperature in membranes from cells infected by a temperature-sensitive mutant, tsNY68, although some dependence on growth temperature was observed even with membranes from wild-type RSV-infected cells. However, at the nonpermissive temperature, tsNY68 pp60src retained 20-40% of its kinase activity, providing supporting for the proposal (B. M. Sefton, T. Hunter, and K. Beemon (1980, J. Virol, 33, 220-229) that transformation may result from a small quantitative change in pp60src activity. The phosphorylation of pp60src and its kinase activity were not coordinately affected by growth temperature or mutations within src, indicating that different factors affect the phosphoacceptor capacity and kinase activity of the protein.

Protein phosphatase 1, one of four major protein phosphatases involved in cellular regulation, was phosphorylated in vitro by pp60v-src, the transforming gene product of Rous sarcoma virus. Phosphorylation was accompanied by a loss of protein phosphatase activity. The inactivation of protein phosphatase 1 was time-dependent and the extent of inactivation correlated closely with the stoichiometry of phosphorylation. Under optimal conditions, 0.34 +/- 0.01 mol of phosphate were incorporated per mol of protein phosphatase and the activity of the enzyme was decreased by 39 +/- 2%. The inactivation required the presence of both MgATP and pp60v-src. There was no loss of activity when adenosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate was used in place of ATP. Phosphorylation of protein phosphatase 1 occurred exclusively on tyrosine residues and was blocked by specific antibodies to pp60v-src. During preincubation of pp60v-src at 41 degrees C, its protein kinase activity towards casein was lost rapidly. The ability of pp60v-src to phosphorylate and inactivate protein phosphatase 1 declined in parallel with the loss of casein kinase activity. Limited chymotryptic digestion of 32P-labeled protein phosphatase 1 (Mr 37,000) resulted in its quantitative conversion to a Mr 33,000 species. Conversion to this species was accompanied by the loss of 32P-labeling and by reactivation of the protein phosphatase. When various concentrations of chymotrypsin were used in the digestion, there was a close correlation between conversion to the Mr 33,000 species and the restoration of protein phosphatase activity. pp60v-src was unable to phosphorylate or inactivate a partially proteolyzed species of protein phosphatase 1 (Mr 33,000/34,000).
