A 110K-dalton phosphoprotein previously was isolated from the nucleoli of mouse ascites sarcoma cells. The localization of this phosphoprotein in the nucleoli was confirmed by an indirect immunofluorescence assay with rabbit antisera to the phosphoprotein. This phosphoprotein formed a complex of 280K daltons with a nonphosphoprotein of 32K daltons in a molar ratio of 1 to 1. The protein complex dissociated in the presence of 6 M guanidine hydrochloride or 1% sodium dodecylsulphate. The nucleolus-specific phosphoprotein complex bound preferentially to nucleolar DNAs other than the ribosomal RNA gene in vitro and located in nucleosomes prepared from the nucleoli. The major phosphoamino acid in the phosphoprotein was phosphoserine, and slight though significant amounts of phosphotyrosine and phosphothreonine also were detected. These phosphorylated amino acids were concentrated in a specific polypeptide fragment of about 30K daltons obtained by partial digestion with V8 protease. The phosphoprotein was phosphorylated in vitro by the protein kinase activity presented in the complex itself.

Retroviruses carry cell-derived oncogenes (v-onc) that have the potential to transform cells in culture and induce tumours in vivo. One of the few carcinoma-inducing viruses is the acutely transforming retrovirus MH2, which carries the putative oncogene v-mil and the known oncogene v-myc. Recently, a high degree of homology was discovered between v-mil and v-raf, the transforming gene of the murine retrovirus 3611 murine sarcoma virus (MSV), whereas homology to v-src is low. Both viruses express their oncogenes as the gag-fusion polyproteins p100gag-mil and p75gag-raf (of respective relative molecular mass (Mr) 100,000 and 75,000), while the myc oncogene of MH2 is expressed by means of a subgenomic messenger RNA. We have recently demonstrated that p100gag-mil is not a nuclear protein. Here we report that purified p100gag-mil and p75gag-raf exhibit protein kinase activities in vitro which, in contrast to the src-related p130gag-fps of Fujinami sarcoma virus (FSV) and all other characterized oncogene-encoded protein kinases, phosphorylate serine and threonine but not tyrosine. Both types of protein kinases phosphorylate lipids in vitro.

Oligopeptides predicted from the nucleotide sequence of the oncogene v-fes of feline sarcoma virus (FeSV) were synthesized chemically and used to generate specific antibodies. Antisera against a 12-amino-acid-long oligopeptide (12-mer) located 42 residues from the carboxyl terminus of the v-fes coding sequence efficiently recognized the transforming proteins encoded by Snyder-Theilen (ST) and Gardner-Arnstein (GA) strains of FeSV. This 12-mer also contains 10 amino acid residues homologous in order and position to those predicted from the nucleotide sequence of the oncogene v-fps of avian Fujinami sarcoma virus (FSV). The anti-12-mer immunoprecipitated the FSV-specific transforming protein molecules from FSV-transformed cells. Binding of these antipeptide antibody molecules to the v-fes and the v-fps gene products inhibited their associated tyrosine-specific protein kinase (EC 2.7.1.37) activities. The ability to generate such site-specific antisera to the products of related oncogenes will be valuable in the molecular characterization of retroviral transforming proteins and their normal cellular homologs.

The Gardner-Rasheed strain of feline sarcoma virus (GR-FeSV), is a recent isolate of a naturally occurring cat sarcoma. The primary translational product of GR-FeSV (GR P70) was shown to be a phosphoprotein with associated tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity. The relationship between the GR-FeSV provirus and once genes of other transforming retroviruses known to code for tyrosine kinases was examined by molecular hybridization. Probes repesenting onc genes of Snyder-Theilen and McDonough strains of feline sarcoma virus, Rous sarcoma virus, and Abelson murine leukemia virus did not detectably hybridize integrated GR-FeSV. These findings suggest that GR-FeSV contains a distinct tyrosine kinase-coding onc gene.

From molecularly cloned DNAs of Fujinami sarcoma virus (FSV) and the Schmidt-Ruppin-A strain of Rous sarcoma virus (SRA), viral DNA was constructed in which fps-specific sequences encoded in FSV replaced the src gene of SRA. A 3' fragment of FSV DNA, from an ATG methionine coding sequence 148 base pairs downstream from the gag-fps junction through the long terminal repeat, was joined to cloned SRA DNA at the translation start site for the src gene. The resultant DNA clone contained the splice acceptor site for src mRNA processing in SRA, but contained no src coding sequences from SRA nor any gag sequences from FSV. All genes for the replication of SRA were retained. Transfection of this cloned viral DNA genome into chicken embryo fibroblasts induced morphological transformation of the cells in culture. However, the morphology of the transformed cells was distinct from that observed in cells infected with wild-type FSV. The transformed cells produced a nondefective transforming virus called F36 which contained a hybrid FSV-SRA long terminal repeat. F36-infected cells produced a protein with the expected molecular weight of 91,000, which had an associated protein kinase activity and was immunoprecipitated by antibodies raised against fps gene determinants but not by antibodies raised against gag or src proteins. Injection of F36 virus into 8-day-old chicks produced tumors at the site of inoculation, detectable within 7 days. These results demonstrated that the gag portion of the gag-fps fusion protein of FSV is not required for transformation or tumorigenesis.

All the known avian sarcoma viruses have associated protein kinase activities that phosphorylate tyrosine residues of their target proteins. A decapeptide fragment of pp60src of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV), residues 415-424, and an analog of that sequence have been chemically synthesized by solid-phase methods. The two decapeptides were not phosphorylated by pp60src of RSV, P90 of Y73 avian sarcoma virus, or P140 of Fujinami sarcoma virus. However, both peptides were able to inhibit competitively the kinase activities associated with the transforming proteins. Antiserum was raised against one of the peptides and IgG was purified from the serum by affinity chromatography. The antibody was able to precipitate pp60src of RSV as well as P90 of Y73 virus from cells infected with these viruses. The antibody also precipitated a number of high molecular weight phosphoproteins from normal chicken and rat fibroblasts and from several lines of virus-transformed cells.

Certain metabolic properties of hormonally responsive osteogenic sarcoma cells derived from a transplantable rat tumor have been compared with those of related normal rat bone cells. All studies were carried out on cells grown in monolayer culture. Normal rat bone cells derived by repeated collagenase/trypsin digestion of newborn rat calvaria. Bone cells selected for comparison were thought to be osteoblast-like, as judged by enrichment of alkaline phosphatase and adenylate cyclase responsiveness to parathyroid hormone and prostaglandin E2. The adenylate cyclases of the two cell strains were similarly stimulated by a range of prostanoids and their metabolites and analogs. Morphology showed the two cell strains to be similar; the only obvious difference was a multilayering of cells in the sarcoma cultures, while the normal cultures showed abundant extracellular fibril formation which was not seen in the tumor cells. Investigation of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase isoenzymes showed the presence of two forms in both cell types, one eluting at a low salt concentration and the other at a high salt concentration. There was approximately twice the amount of the first isoenzyme compared to the second isoenzyme. The results indicate the usefulness of the two cell strains to elucidate further the molecular mechanisms of action of parathyroid hormone and prostaglandins.

Formalin-fixed Staphylococcus aureus strain Cowan, bearing protein A, routinely used for the absorption of antigen-antibody complexes, was found to bind protein kinase activity from disrupted Moloney murine leukaemia virus (Mo-MuLV). The Wood strain of S. aureus lacking protein A also bound the kinase with similar efficiency. About 50% of the bound kinase activity, as detected by phosphorylation of casein using [gamma-32P]ATP, could be eluted from the bacterial preparation with buffer containing 0 X 5 M-KC1. Similar results were obtained with Moloney murine sarcoma virus (Mo-MuSV) strain 349 and ts110 MuSV(MuLV). The bacterial preparation was also found to bind casein kinase activity from cellular extracts of uninfected, Rauscher murine leukaemia virus (R-MuLV)-infected and Mo-MuLV-infected cells. Analysis of [3H]leucine-labelled proteins from purified virus showed selective binding to S. aureus of only two major labelled virus proteins. One virus component bound to S. aureus had the relative mobility of p15; the other polypeptide co-migrated with virus p10. Upon exposure to increased salt concentration, most of the p10 but very little of the p15 proteins were released. The S. aureus-binding proteins from ts110 Mo-MuSV and MuSV-349 revealed similar binding and elution patterns of p10 and p15 molecules. The p10 and protein kinase activity eluted from Mo-MuLV-absorbed bacteria were separated by gel filtration into a high molecular weight species, containing p10 and kinase activity, and a low molecular weight p10 monomer lacking enzymic activity.

We obtained a regressing-tumor antiserum specific for the unique sequence of the transforming protein P140 of Fujinami sarcoma virus by injecting Fischer rats with syngeneic embryo cells transformed with Fujinami sarcoma virus. This serum is capable of immunoprecipitating a protein of 98,000 daltons from cell extracts of normal, uninfected chicken bone marrow cells. This normal cellular protein (NCP98) was shown to be structurally related to P140, sharing the majority of 35S-methionine-labeled tryptic peptides with the viral gene product P140. NCP98 is a phosphoprotein in vivo, with an associated in vitro protein kinase activity, capable of phosphorylating specifically at tyrosine residues of NCP98 itself and alpha-casein, an externally added substrate. This kinase activity is biochemically indistinguishable from the kinase activity associated with P140 by all criteria tested. Moreover, in vitro-phosphorylated NCP98 and P140 shared the same phosphopeptides. The expression of NCP98 is tissue-specific. It is readily detectable in bone marrow cells and detectable to a lesser extent in liver and lung cells from 6--18 day old chickens.

We investigated the role of reactive oxygen intermediates and protein kinase C in the induction of expression of the c-jun gene in human ML-2 leukemic cells and normal human DET-551 fibroblasts by comparing the effects of exposure to either ionizing radiation or H2O2 in the presence or absence of appropriate inhibitors. In these cell types, the radiation- and H2O2-mediated increase in c-jun mRNA levels could be prevented by pretreatment of the cells with N-acetylcysteine, an antioxidant, or H7, an inhibitor of protein kinase C and protein kinase A, but not by HA1004, a specific inhibitor of protein kinase A and G. These results suggest a role for protein kinase C and reactive oxygen intermediates in the induction of c-jun gene expression in both normal and tumor cells. We also investigated potential differences in c-jun gene expression induced by radiation or H2O2 in normal and tumor cells by examining steady-state c-jun mRNA levels in a number of human fibroblast, leukemia, melanoma, sarcoma and carcinoma cell types. We observed heterogeneity in the steady-state level of c-jun mRNA in both the untreated normal and tumor cells and in such cells exposed to ionizing radiation or to H2O2. Exposure to radiation produced a varied response which ranged from little or no induction to an increase in the steady-state level of the c-jun mRNA of more than two orders of magnitude. Exposure to H2O2 gave a pattern similar to that of ionizing radiation. The basis for the differential induction in response to these agents may be attributable to either cell lineage or genetic heterogeneity or a combination of these two parameters.
