Adenylate, guanylate cyclase and protein kinases in a fibrous sarcoma originating from rat prostate have been studied. A decrease in levels of adenosine 3', 5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) and adenylate cyclase activities and an increase in levels of guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic GMP) and guanylate cyclase activities were observed in the tumor tissue when compared with the normal prostatic tissue of rats. Protein kinases from the tumor and the prostate were both responsive to exogenous cyclic AMP, with an apparent Ka of 0.08 muM in the tumor and of 0.11 muM in the prostate. It is of interest that the protein kinases from the tumor responded to cyclic AMP to the same extent as was observed in the enzyme preparation from the prostate. The protein kinase from the tumor was more sensitive to cyclic GMP than that from the prostate, showing an apparent Ka of 0.88 muM in the tumor and of 4.85 muM in the prostate. This tumor has been characterized with an increase in guanylate cyclase activities with a subsequent rise in cellular cyclic GMP and an increased sensitivity of the protein kinase to cyclic GMP.

We have studied the effect of protein phosphokinase (EC 2.7.1.37; ATP:protein phosphotransferase) and phosphoprotein phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.16; phosphoprotein phosphohydrolase) on reverse transcriptase (RNA-dependent DNA nucleotidyltransferase) activity of Rous sarcoma virus. Protein kinase from Rous sarcoma virus-transformed chick embryo fibroblasts was purified by DEAE-cellulose chromatography, Sephadex gel filtration, and isoelectric focusing. Purified reverse transcriptase from Rouse sarcoma virus was preincubated with protein kinase and ATP under conditions allowing incorporation of phosphate into substrate protein. After the preincubation, reverse transcriptase activity was assayed in the presence of poly(rA).oligo(dT) as template. A 2- to 5-fold increase of reverse transcriptase activity was found after the preincubation of reverse transcriptase with protein kinase and ATP. Incubation of reverse transcriptase with heat-treated, inactive protein kinase and ATP had no effect on transcriptase activity. When the transcriptase preparation was incubated with protein kinase and [gamma-32P]ATP and subsequently purified by chromatography on phosphocellulose and Sephadex gel filtration, significant amounts of 32P-labeled proteins were found in the fractions exhibiting reverse transcriptase activity, suggesting 32P incorporation into transcriptase or transcriptase-associated proteins. A 20-60% decrease of reverse transcriptase activity was observed after incubation of reverse transcriptase with phosphatase. The results suggest that phosphorylative modification of reverse transcriptase may be critical in the regulation of reverse transcriptase-catalyzed DNA synthesis.

Oncornaviruses, which contain a virion-associated protein kinase, were found to possess phosphoproteins as virion structural components. One major phosphoprotein common to strains of laboratory and wild mouse oncornaviruses and a strain of feline leukemia virus was shown to be a polypeptide of about 12, 000 mol wt. In addition to this, the Kirsten strain of murine sarcoma virus contained a second major phosphoprotein of about 10, 000 mol wt, and mouse erythroblastosis virus contained a second major phosphoprotein that was either identical to or comigrated with the virion glycoprotein of about 74, 000 mol wt. The major phosphoprotein of RD-114 virus was found to be of about 16, 000 mol wt. The major phosphoamino acid of the 12, 000-mol wt polypeptide of the mouse erythroblastosis virus was identified as phosphoserine, and that of the 16, 000-mol wt polypeptide of the RD-114 virus was identified as phosphothreonine.

Incorporation of phosphorus from [gamma-32P]ATP into protein was catalyzed by specific immunoprecipitates from avian sarcoma virus (ASV)-transformed avian and mammalian cells. This incorporation was observed only when antiserum from tumor-bearing rabbits able to specifically precipitate the ASV sarcoma gene product, p60src, was used to immunoprecipitate antigens from transformed cell lysates. Immunoprecipitates of extracts from normal cells or cells infected with a transformation-defective ASV mutant showed no activity in this assay, nor did any immune complexes formed with normal rabbit serum and any of the cell extracts tested. The expression of the protein kinase activity (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) was growth temperature-dependent in cells infected with an ASV mutant temperature-sensitive for the transformation. These results on an enzymatic activity associated with the ASV transforming protein are discussed in terms of protein phosphorylation as a mechanism for viral transformation.

Sera from certain rabbits bearing Schmidt-Ruppin strain Rous sarcoma virus (RSV)-induced tumors precipitated p60(src) from chicken cells transformed by the homologous virus as well as by other strains [Prague strain RSV, Bryan high-titer strain RSV, and Bratislava 77 strain of avain sarcoma virus (ASV)], the molecular weights (M(r)s) ranging from 60,000 to 64,000. The p60(src) immunoprecipitated from cells transformed by each of these strains incorporated [gamma-(32)P]ATP into the M(r) 53,000 subunit of IgG, though with differing activities. No such protein kinase activity (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) was observed when the following immunoprecipitates were used: from uninfected cells, from untransformed cells infected by Rous-associated virus, or from cells transformed by acute leukosis viruses, avian erythroblastosis virus, or myelocytoma virus 29. The kinase reaction had a pH optimum at pH 5.9 and an apparent K(m) for ATP of 4.9 +/- 2 muM, and was dependent on Mg(2+) (K(b) = 46 +/- 12 mM), for which Ca(2+) was no substitute. The kinase was cyclic AMP independent. In order to test whether the protein kinase reaction is directly catalyzed by p60(src), we compared the in vitro temperature sensitivities of the kinase activities from cells infected by transformation-temperature-sensitive mutant and parental wild-type virus. The first-order rate constant for the inactivation of the kinase from extracts of cells infected by the mutant virus was 2-fold greater than that from cells infected by wild-type virus. This result implicates the protein kinase as an enzymatic activity of the src gene product, the p60(src). Concomitant with the loss of the kinase activity by heat inactivation, p60(src) loses 60-70% of its phosphate content. The kinetics of dephosphorylation exactly parallel those for the inactivation of the kinase activity, suggesting that the p60(src) kinase is itself dependent on phosphorylation for its activity.

A low molecular weight (LMW) protein phosphokinase enzyme that binds to actin has been isolated from murine sarcoma virions; this kinase activity is not present in nontransforming murine leukemia viruses. Sephadex G-75 gel filtration and affinity chromatography on actin-Sepharose conjugates allow a significant level of purification of this enzyme. The enzyme associates with microtubular proteins and inhibits the in vitro polymerization of microtubules. This study represents the first isolation of a sarcoma virus-associated protein that possesses the ability to interact directly with two major components of the cytoskeletal system.

Morphological revertants of avian sarcoma virus transformed vole cells contain the sarcoma gene product (pp60src) in an enzymatically active form, suggesting that the presence of pp60src protein kinase activity is infussicient to induce morphological transformation. Structural analyses of pp60src from infected vole cell clones suggest that in one of the revertant clones on alteration in pp60src may be responsible for morphological reversion while in a second clone, reversion may result from an alteration in a cell gene product with which pp60src must interact. As these morphological revertant cells are tumorigenic, different cell components are required to interact with pp60src to facilitate the two events.

The myeloproliferative sarcoma virus (MPSV) v-mos protein was predicted to be identical in size to p39c-mos because of an observed one-base deletion in the seventh codon of the env-mos open reading frame, which would allow translation to initiate at the methionine equivalent to codon 32 of the env-mos gene. On the basis of published results, p39c-mos is known to have greatly reduced in vitro protein kinase activity compared with p37env-mos encoded by Moloney murine sarcoma virus. Unexpectedly, the relative activity of the MPSV v-mos protein kinase was comparable to that of p37env-mos. Consistent with this finding, the size of MPSV v-mos protein was found to be similar to the size of p37env-mos. Moreover, the pattern and sizes of phosphorylated bands produced by autophosphorylation of the MPSV v-mos protein were similar to those of p37env-mos. These results were confirmed by in vitro transcription-translation of the MPSV v-mos gene. Resequencing portions of the MPSV mos gene failed to show the deletion within codon 7. Except for the codon 262 deletion, other mutations characteristic of MPSV and temperature-sensitive MPSV v-mos genes were confirmed. A glycine-to-arginine mutation at residue 338 of the MPSV env-mos sequence, previously shown to cause thermosensitivity of the mutant virus (termed ts159) transforming function, yielded a v-mos protein that had significantly reduced protein kinase activity in vitro. These findings indicate that MPSV, like other Moloney murine sarcoma virus strains, also encodes a functional env-mos protein.

In the present study the involvement of protein kinase-C (PKC) in the regulation of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and interaction of PKC with cAMP-induced up-regulation of VDR in osteoblast-like cells were examined. Activation of PKC by incubation for 4 h with the phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) resulted in a comparable dose-dependent decrease in 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 binding in the osteoblast-like cell lines UMR 106 and ROS 17/2.8, with a maximum inhibition at 100 nM and an IC50 at 5 nM PMA. Time-course studies revealed that in both UMR 106 and ROS 17/2.8 cells, 24-h incubation with PMA caused an increase in 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 binding. This can be related to down-regulation of PKC. Scatchard analysis demonstrated that activation of PKC resulted not in a change in receptor affinity, but, rather, in an increase in VDR number. This is supported by Northern blot analysis, which shows at 2 h a decrease and at 24 h an increase in VDR mRNA. At 4 h, when activation of the cAMP pathway results in an increase in VDR, activation of PKC results in a decrease in VDR. Coincubation for 4 h with PMA caused a decrease in PTH- and forskolin-induced up-regulation of VDR. This inhibition is not due to a reduction in cAMP production, as PTH-stimulated cAMP production was potentiated by PMA. The effect of activation of PKC on VDR is not a general effect, as PMA does not affect basal ornithine decarboxylase activity and potentiates PTH-induced ornithine decarboxylase activity. The present study demonstrates that PKC is involved in the regulation of VDR in UMR 106 and ROS 17/2.8 and that PKC interacts with cAMP in the regulation of VDR. The current data point to a negative controlling role for PKC in the regulation of VDR. Moreover, two different cAMP-regulated actions in UMR 106 cells (VDR up-regulation and ornithine decarboxylase activity) are differently modulated by PKC. Although the precise mechanism by which PKC represses and stimulates gene expression is not yet clear, this study demonstrates the important regulatory role for PKC in two osteoblast-like sarcoma cell lines.

The raf genes encode a family of cytoplasmic proteins with intrinsic protein-serine/threonine kinase activity. The c-raf gene is the cellular homolog of v-raf, the transforming gene of murine sarcoma virus 3611. The constitutive kinase activity of the v-Raf protein has been implicated in transformation and mitogenesis. The activity of Raf-1, the protein product of the c-raf gene, is normally suppressed by a regulatory N-terminal domain. Activation of various tyrosine-kinase growth factor receptors results in activation of Raf-1 and its hyperphosphorylation. Further, Raf-1 has been shown to act either downstream or independently of the p21ras protein, as indicated by experiments involving microinjection of anti-Ras antibodies. To investigate the potential role of p21ras in the activation of Raf-1 by tyrosine kinases, we have used the baculovirus/Sf9 cell system to overproduce various wild-type and mutant forms of pp60src, p21ras, and Raf-1 proteins. We show that either pp60v-src or p21c-ras can independently activate the autokinase activity of Raf-1, but only to a limited extent. Surprisingly, both pp60v-src and p21c-ras are required to fully activate Raf-1. Analysis of the Raf-1 autokinase activity in vitro shows that Raf-1 autophosphorylation sites are distributed equally on serine and threonine residues. When Raf-1 is analyzed by immunoblotting, as previously reported for mammalian cell experiments, a marked increase in the apparent molecular weight of Raf-1 is seen only when it is coexpressed with both pp60v-src and p21ras.

PMID:Both p21ras and pp60v-src are required, but neither alone is sufficient, to activate the Raf-1 kinase. 137 95
