The incubation of intact uninfected and Rous sarcoma virus (RSV)-transformed chicken cells (SR-RSV-A) with micromolar amounts of [gamma-32P]ATP under physiological conditions resulted in the radioactive phosphorylation of a variety of proteins. According to the experimental protocol the detectable phosphorylation was restricted to ATP utilization at the cell surface and was catalyzed by surface located protein kinase (PK). Serine- and to a lesser extent, threonine residues were phosphorylated. With respect to this enzyme the cells under investigation showed upon incubation with phosvitin the release of surface (phosvitin) kinase into the incubation medium. Based on immunochemical analysis and PK-assays using antisera from RSV-tumor bearing rabbits (TBR-serum) the pp60v-src with its associated tyrosine kinase activity was likewise detected in appreciable amounts at the outside of RSV-transformed chicken and mammalian cells. There was no cross reactivity of TBR-serum with phosvitin kinase. Phosvitin was not phosphorylated by the immunoprecipitated pp60v-src. Whereas phosphorylation catalyzed by pp60v-src was blocked with 10 to 20 microM diadenosine 5',5''-P1P4 tetraphosphate (Ap4A) the phosvitin phosphorylation was far less sensitive towards inhibition by Ap4A, similar to the cellular pp60c-src kinase activity in uninfected cells. The functional significance of the PK activities in uninfected and RSV-transformed cells observed at their surface or in cell-free form as well as the nature of their substrates remain to be established.

We have constructed two point mutants of Rous sarcoma virus in which the amino-terminal glycine residue of the transforming protein, p60src, was changed to an alanine or a glutamic acid residue. Both mutant proteins failed to become myristylated and, more importantly, no longer transformed cells. The lack of transformation could not be attributed to defects in the catalytic activity of the mutant p60src proteins. In vitro phosphorylation of the peptide angiotensin or of the cellular substrate proteins enolase and p36 revealed no significant differences in the Km or specific activity of the mutant and wild-type p60src proteins. However, when cellular fractions were prepared, less than 12% of the nonmyristylated p60src proteins was bound to membranes. In contrast, more than 82% of the wild-type protein was associated with membranes. Wild-type p60src was phosphorylated by protein kinase C, a protein kinase which associates with membranes when activated. The mutant proteins were not. This finding supports the idea that within the intact cell the nonmyristylated p60src proteins are cytoplasmic and suggests that this apparent solubility is not an artifact of the cell fractionation procedure. The myristyl groups of p60src apparently encourages a tight association between protein and membranes and, by determining the cellular location of the enzyme, allows transformation to occur.

Actin has been measured in subcellular fractions from Rat-1 fibroblasts and in Rous sarcoma virus-transformed Rat-1 cells (VIT), using the DNase 1 inhibition assay. The transformed cells showed a significant shift in the actin monomer (G)in equilibrium with polymer (F) equilibrium within the cell cytosol, and a significant increase in actin in the Triton-insoluble cytoskeletal core in comparison with untransformed cells. This incorporation of actin into the cytoskeletal core fraction is associated with a change in filamentous actin assemblies from 'stress fibre' patterns to punctate filament aggregates. These differences have been correlated with changes in morphology, in actin, vinculin and alpha-actinin distribution, in adhesion plaque formation and with the production of pp60v-src-associated protein kinase activity in the transformed cells. Changes in actin distribution and its polymerization in response to src-gene expression may play an important role in the determination of the transformed cell characteristics.

Insulin and transformation by Rous sarcoma virus stimulate the phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6. Soluble fractions containing activated S6 protein kinase from insulin-treated cells and from transformed chick embryo fibroblasts were compared. Based upon several characteristics notably elution from DEAE-cellulose and sedimentation in glycerol gradients, these two S6 protein kinase activities appear to be similar enzymes. Thus insulin and retroviral transformation may activate the same enzyme to regulate the phosphorylation state of S6.

The phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP), and diacylglycerol kinase activities in the plasma membrane-rich fraction of chicken embryo fibroblasts infected with a temperature-sensitive mutant of Rous sarcoma virus increased when the cells were shifted from the nonpermissive temperature, 41 degrees C, to the permissive temperature, 35 degrees C. Temperature shift from 35 to 41 degrees C decreased the lipid kinase activities in the membrane vesicles. These changes accompanied the changes observed in pp60v-src protein kinase activity. Thermal inactivation at 41 degrees C did not appreciably reduce PI and PIP kinase activities in membrane vesicles prepared from uninfected or Rous sarcoma virus-transformed cells, whereas pp60v-src protein kinase activity in the membrane vesicles was rapidly inactivated under the same conditions. These data suggest that pp60v-src may indirectly enhance PI and PIP phosphorylation but not directly contribute to this pathway.

The role of prostaglandins in cellular differentiation and transformation has been widely studied. We have found previously that prostaglandin E2 production was greatly diminished in dog kidney cells (MDCK) after transformation by Harvey murine sarcoma virus. In the present study, we have shown that viral transformation can have differing effects in the ability to modify the production of prostaglandin in cultured cells. For example, the prostaglandin E2 production in rat kidney cells (NRK) is decreased after transformation by Rous sarcoma virus, while production in 3T3 cells is increased markedly after transformation by the same virus. Similarly, SV40 transformation increases prostaglandin E2 production of 3T3 cells and decreases the production in rat thyroid cells (FRTL). These results indicate that the biosynthetic pathway for prostaglandin production has varying susceptibility following viral transformation and the effect of transformation depends more on the type of cell than virus. Taking advantage of the well-defined transforming proteins encoded by polyomavirus, we have further studied the relationship between prostaglandin production in cells and the expression of T antigens in transformed cells. We showed that the expression of middle T antigen, which is associated with a protein kinase and is responsible for phenotype of transformed cells, is required for the change in prostaglandin production in cells. How these changes of prostaglandin production relate to the progression of viral transformation remains to be explored.

Medium T antigen, the transforming protein of polyoma virus, is associated with pp60c-src and strongly activates its tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity. We investigated whether the medium T-pp60c-src complex is also associated with an activity that phosphorylates the membrane phospholipid phosphatidylinositol, as shown for pp60v-src and p68v-ros, the transforming proteins of Rous sarcoma virus and avian sarcoma virus UR2, respectively. Medium T was purified by affinity chromatography from extracts of polyoma virus-infected mouse fibroblasts. It was bound to antibodies against a peptide corresponding to the carboxy terminus of medium T and released from the immune complex with an excess of the same peptide. In a second step, the partially purified medium T was bound to antibodies against another peptide corresponding to an internal region of medium T and released with excess peptide. Further purification was carried out with a monoclonal antibody against pp60c-src. Samples from each purification step were examined for protein kinase and phosphatidylinositol kinase activity. The highly purified preparations of the medium T-pp60c-src complex showed very low levels of phosphatidylinositol kinase activity, and no difference between medium T from transforming viruses and nontransforming hr-t mutants was detected. In contrast, protein kinase activity was associated with medium T purified from transforming viruses but not from hr-t mutants.

Anti-human DNA polymerase alpha murine IgG SJK-287-38 [Tanaka, S., Hu, S.-Z., Wang, T. S.-F. & Korn, D. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 8386-8390] neutralized DNA polymerase alpha activity from rat embryonic fibroblasts infected with a temperature-sensitive transformation mutant of Rous sarcoma virus (tsLA24). After centrifugation of a crude cytosol fraction from log-phase cells in a 5-20% linear sucrose gradient, polypeptides of Mr approximately equal to 185,000 and 220,000 were immunoprecipitated only from gradient fractions containing DNA polymerase alpha activity. When similar cultures were incubated in medium containing [32P]orthophosphate, it was found that the Mr 220,000 protein was phosphorylated but that the other peptides specific for polymerase alpha activity did not contain detectable amounts of phosphate. Phospho amino acid analysis of the high molecular weight immunoprecipitable proteins indicated that the labeled amino acid was phosphoserine. Incubation of 2.5 units of crude DNA polymerase alpha with 4 units of agarose-immobilized alkaline phosphatase resulted in a nearly complete inhibition of DNA polymerase alpha activity. Subsequent incubation of this preparation with 5 or 50 microM ATP, but not the nonhydrolyzable analog adenosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate, restored the in vitro DNA polymerizing activity. These results demonstrate that a high molecular weight DNA polymerase alpha (Mr approximately equal to 220,000) is phosphorylated in cultured cells and that this protein is a substrate for a serine kinase rather than the tyrosine-specific protein kinase of Rous sarcoma virus. The results suggest that phosphorylation/dephosphorylation reactions modulate the activity of this polymerase.

The viral src gene downregulates junctional communication, closing cell-to-cell membrane channels presumably by way of the phosphoinositide signal route. We show that TMB-8 [8-N, N-(diethylamino) octyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate] counteracts this downregulation in cells transformed by temperature-sensitive mutant Rous sarcoma virus: TMB-8 (36-72 microM) raises junctional permeability when applied during activity of src protein kinase, i.e., at steady permissive temperature; and TMB-8 inhibits the fall of junctional permeability, when the activity of src protein kinase gets turned on. TMB-8 also (reversibly) inhibits the growth of the cells at permissive temperature and reverses the morphological changes associated with transformation. The morphological reversal lags several hours behind the junctional-permeability reversal. Communication recovers within a few minutes when the activity of the src protein kinase is turned off (in absence of TMB-8). Sodium orthovanadate (20 microM) prevents this recovery, but it has no major effect on junctional permeability on its own. We discuss possible modes of action of these agents on critical stages of the signal route, related to intracellular Ca2+ and protein kinase C.

More than 70% of wild-type Rous sarcoma virus p60v-src was found to be associated with a cellular structure resistant to nonionic detergent extraction that consists primarily of cytoskeletal proteins. On the other hand, nontransforming src proteins, including cellular p60c-src, nonmyristoylated forms, and those inactive in protein kinase, were found in the fraction solubilized by the detergent extraction. p60c-src was detergent-soluble even in transformed cells, suggesting that the association of p60v-src is not a result of cell transformation. Analyses with a variety of Rous sarcoma virus mutants showed a good correlation between the degree of association with the detergent-resistant structure and the extent of cell transformation caused by mutant src proteins, suggesting that this association may be significant for the process of cell transformation by Rous sarcoma virus.
