The Y73 strain of avian sarcoma virus isolated from a transplantable chicken tumor was defective in its replicating capacity. The virus caused sarcoma but not acute leukosis in chickens even when inoculated intravenously. It induced transformed cell-foci in cultured fibroblasts and the viral genome responsible for in vitro transformation was 26S RNA. The RNA was composed of sequences in common with helper virus RNA and Y73-specific sequence. The specific sequence "yes" did not hybridize with complementary DNA to the src gene of Rous sarcoma virus (cDNAsrc) and it had a unique counterpart in normal cell DNA. The yes gene was located in the middle of the 26S genome and the sequences common to the helper virus were located toward both ends. The 26S RNA coded for an polyprotein of 90,000 daltons (p90) which included p19 of viral core proteins in addition to the polypeptide unique to the yes gene. p90 had protein kinase activity specific for tyrosine residue and itself could be phosphorylated at tyrosine residue in vivo and in vitro, and at serine residue in vivo.

Fujinami sarcoma virus (FSV) encodes a transforming protein of 130,000 daltons (P130) which is associated with a tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity. To elucidate mechanisms involved in cell transformation by FSV, we have studied the intracellular location of P130 in rat cells nonproductively infected with FSV. Immunofluorescent staining of several FSV-transformed rat cell lines with a tumor regressor antiserum specific against the fps sequences of P130 showed that the major staining was localized in the cytoplasm. Staining was also seen in cell ruffles and in some cases at areas of cell contact. The cytoplasmic location of P130 staining in cells infected with temperature-sensitive mutants of FSV was unchanged when they were grown at permissive or nonpermissive temperature. Cell fractionation of FSV-transformed cells under various conditions showed that the ionic strength used during cell fractionation had a striking effect on the distribution of P130. At 10 mM NaCl, 70% of P130 sedimented in the large granule fraction, whereas at 500 mM NaCl 70 to 90% of P130 was recovered in the cytosol fraction. Furthermore, a combination of ionic and nonionic detergents that effectively solubilized subcellular membranes was insufficient to solubilize P130 unless the salt concentration was raised. We conclude that the majority of P130 and its associated protein kinase activity are localized in the cytoplasm and that P130 is not an integral membrane protein.

The sequences required for transformation by the Gardner-Arnstein (GA) strain of feline sarcoma virus (GA-FeSV) were defined by site-directed, in vitro mutagenesis of molecularly cloned proviral DNA. Portions of the Ga-FeSV provirus, subcloned in the plasmid pBR322, were mutagenized by deletion or frameshift at XhoI restriction sites flanking the nucleotide sequences presumed to encode the GA-FeSV transforming polyprotein (P108(gag-fes)). The biological activity of subgenomic and reconstructed full-genome-length molecules was assayed by transfection and focus induction in NIH 3T3 cells. Both mutant and wild-type molecules containing the intact P108(gag-fes) coding region induced foci of transformed cells at efficiencies between 10(4) and 10(5) focus-forming units per pmol of DNA; a deletion mutant lacking 3'-terminal v-fes sequences was completely nontransforming in parallel assays. Representative subcloned foci of transformed NIH 3T3 cells synthesized P108(gag-fes) with associated in vitro protein kinase activity. Focus-forming viruses could be rescued from transformed subclones induced by full-length proviral DNA, but not from cells transformed by subgenomic DNA lacking a 3' long terminal repeat (LTR). It was concluded that: (i) nucleotide sequences encoding P108(gag-fes) and its associated kinase activity are responsible for transformation, (ii) the GA-FeSV 3' env and LTR sequences are not required for focus induction, and (iii) the 3' LTR is necessary for rescue of infectious FeSV RNA. A chimeric DNA containing the 5' LTR and P108(gag-fes) coding region of GA-FeSV joined to the 3' LTR of Moloney murine sarcoma virus was both transforming and rescuable at high efficiency. Restriction analysis showed that passaged stocks of rescued transforming virus contained Moloney murine sarcoma virus U3 sequences at both proviral DNA termini, consistent with generally accepted models for LTR formation during reverse transcription. Wild-type GA-FeSV and the chimeric virus (here designated as GAHT), each rescued from NIH 3T3 cells with the same amphotropic murine leukemia virus, yielded approximately equal numbers of foci when titrated on CCL 64 mink cells. By contrast, on mouse NIH 3T3 cells, the focus-forming titer of GAHT was 1 to 2 log higher than that of FeSV. The foci induced on NIH 3T3 cells by GAHT appeared earlier and were reproducibly larger than those induced by GA-FeSV. Differences in transforming activity on NIH 3T3 cells were also found using colony formation in agar, showing that the more rapid appearance and larger size of foci formed in liquid media were not due to virus spread. These data suggest that transcriptional control signals within the viral LTR regulate the levels of the transforming gene product in a species-specific manner.

The Gardner (GA) and Snyder-Theilen (ST) isolates of feline sarcoma virus (FeSV) represent genetic recombinants between feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and transformation-specific sequences (v-fes gene) of cat cellular origin. A related transforming gene (v-fps), common to the Fujinami, PRC II, and UR 1 strains of avian sarcoma virus has also been described. Translational products of each of these recombinant virus isolates are expressed in the form of polyproteins exhibiting protein kinase activities with specificity for tyrosine residues. In the present study, v-fes and v-fps homologous sequences of GA-FeSV, ST-FeSV, and Fujinami sarcoma virus (FSV) are defined and these independently derived transforming genes are shown to correspond to a common cellular genetic locus which has remained highly conserved throughout vertebrate evolution.

A new strain of feline sarcoma virus, designated HZ1-FeSV, was isolated from a 4-year-old domestic cat with multicentric fibrosarcoma. A primary tumor cell line was established and virus produced from that line was found to induce foci in feline embryonic lung fibroblasts (FLF3) and mink lung fibroblasts (CCL64) in tissue culture and fibrosarcomas in inoculated 10-week-old kittens. The derivation of transformed nonproducer clones of FLF3 and CCL64 cells containing helper virus-rescuable, focus-forming activity indicated that HZ1-FeSV was defective for replication. The only discernible translation product of the HZ1-FeSV genome in cultured cells was a 100,000-Da polyprotein (P100) which contained amino-terminal sequences of the FeLV gag gene precursor protein covalently linked to a sarcoma virus-specific domain. Immunoprecipitates containing P100 exhibited a protein kinase activity capable of phosphorylating tyrosine residues of P100. Immunologically, P100 was highly cross-reactive with gag-fes polyproteins encoded by two previously characterized strains of FeSV, the GA- and the ST-FeSV. By comparison of methionine-containing tryptic peptides, the HZ1-FeSV protein was shown to be more closely related to the GA-FeSV protein than to the ST-FeSV protein, but to be distinguishable from both other proteins.

The translation products of the Snyder-Theilen (ST) and Gardner-Arnstein (GA) strains of feline sarcoma virus (FeSV), termed gag-fes proteins, are high molecular weight polyproteins containing different amounts of the amino terminus of the feline leukemia virus (FeLV) gag gene-coded precursor protein linked to a similar sarcoma virus-specific polypeptide. Both polyproteins are phosphoproteins with indistinguishable in vitro associated tyrosine-specific protein kinase activities. The polyproteins are extremely hydrophobic proteins which are intimately associated with the plasma membrane fraction of transformed cells. Approximately 10% of the proteins are modified by glycosylation and expressed on the cell surface where they are accessible to lactoperoxidase-mediated radio-iodination and trypsinization. Cell surface localization of the polyproteins does not appear to be necessary for transformation. However, preliminary evidence suggests that the amount of FeLV p30 sequences at the amino end of the proteins may have some effect on the intracellular distribution of the gag-fes polyproteins and on the phenotype of the transformed cell.

A cell line, TBSV7, that produces noninfectious murine sarcoma virus (MuSV) in the absence of helper MuLV was isolated from TB cells infected with the supernatant of MuSV349 cells. These noninfectious MuSV particles with "immature" C-type virus morphology contain a 2.2 X 10(6)-Da genomic RNA and an uncleaved 62,000-Da gag precursor protein (Pr62). Neither viral envelope proteins (gp70, p15E, p12E) nor reverse transcriptase were detected in these virus particles. Pr62 was found to be phosphorylated in vivo and it could be phosphorylated in vitro with [gamma-32P]ATP, indicating that protein kinase was packaged in these noninfectious virions. In vitro processing of Pr62 to smaller molecular weight proteins could be achieved by the addition of Mo-MuLV and Nonidet P-40. The initial cleavage products were proteins with molecular weights of 38K (Pr38) and 27K (Pr27). Under optimum conditions Pr38 was cleaved to p30 and a protein band migrating with MuLV-p10, while Pr27 was cleaved to a 17,000-Da protein that migrated slower than MuLV-p15 and a protein band migrating with MuLV-p12. Pulse-chase experiments performed on TBSV7 cells superinfected with Mo-MuLV indicated that intracellular processing of Pr62 was much slower than that of Pr65. Cleavage protein products of Pr62 similar in size to the in vitro protein products were also detected in TBSV7 cells superinfected with MuLV.

The 130 kd transforming protein of Fujinami sarcoma virus (FSV P130gag -fps) possesses a tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity and is itself phosphorylated at several tyrosine and serine residues in FSV-transformed cells. We have used oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis of the FSV genome to change the TAT codon for tyrosine (1073), the major site of P130gag -fps phosphorylation, to a TTT codon for phenylalanine that cannot be phosphorylated. This mutant FSV induces the transformation of rat-2 cells but with a long latent period as compared with wild-type FSV. The P130gag -fps protein encoded by the mutant retains the ability to phosphorylate tyrosine, but is five times less active as a kinase in vitro than wild-type FSV P130gag -fps. These data indicate that tyrosine phosphorylation stimulates the biochemical and biological activities of FSV P130gag -fps, and they set a precedent for the ability of this amino acid modification to modulate protein function.

Several sarcoma-inducing viruses encode protein kinases that phosphorylate tyrosine residues. Such enzymatic activities can be detected within the detergent-insoluble matrix of transformed fibroblasts. We have analysed the protein kinase activities in two murine lymphoma cell lines ( MBL2 and LSTRA) induced by Moloney murine leukemia virus (Mo-MuLV). After incubation of the detergent-insoluble matrix of these cells with [gamma-32P]ATP, several alkali-resistant phosphoproteins, including a very heavily labelled 55 000 mol. wt. protein ( p55 ), have been detected in LSTRA, reflecting the activity of a protein kinase specific to this cell line. This protein kinase activity shares some of the distinctive properties of the protein kinases of transforming viruses, i.e., specificity for tyrosine residues, association with membranous and/or cytoskeletal structures, and inhibition by a synthetic peptide derived from the phosphorylation site of pp60src. In view of the absence of a transforming gene in MoMuLV , it is likely that the high level of protein kinase detected in the LSTRA cell line arises from the expression of a cellular gene.

Fujinami sarcoma virus (FSV) and PRCII avian sarcoma virus both encode gag-fps transforming proteins associated with tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity; however, PRCII has a lower oncogenic potential than does FSV. In this study, the genomes of PRCII and FSV have been compared. By hybridization of PRCII [32P]RNA to FSV DNA on Southern blots, a large internal deletion in the 5' half of the fps gene in PRCII has been mapped. To determine the exact size and location of the deletion in PRCII, dideoxy sequencing of PRCII RNA with FSV DNA fragments as primers was used. The FSV sequence corresponding to the deletion in PRCII was flanked by 6-base direct repeats ( AGCTGG ) at 1614-1619 and 2634-2639 nucleotides. One copy of the direct repeat was retained in the PRCII genome. The length of the deleted region was 1020 nucleotides. The deletion in fps did not alter the kinase domain or ATP-binding site of the P105 transforming protein of PRCII. It was shown that the specific kinase activity of P105 was as high as that of FSV P130 . The sequence deleted from PRCII was found to encode part of a large hydrophilic domain. In the accompanying paper [J. Woolford and K. Beemon (1984) Virology 135, 168-180], evidence that the PRCII and FSV proteins have different subcellular locations and solubility properties, possibly due to the loss of this domain, is presented. These alterations in the structure and location of the PRCII protein may prevent it from phosphorylating certain substrates involved in oncogenic transformation.
