Several growth factors and mitogens have been shown to activate the proto-oncogene product Raf-1 protein kinase in murine fibroblasts, apparently through a direct agonist-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of the Raf-1 protein. We investigated the possibility that insulin could also activate the Raf-1 kinase, since its receptor also contains an intrinsic insulin-activated protein tyrosine kinase activity. In several cell lines expressing relatively large numbers of insulin receptors, insulin rapidly stimulated the phosphorylation of immunoreactive Raf-1 protein. In H35 cells, a line of well differentiated rat hepatoma cells, the effect of insulin was maximal by 6 min and at 7 nM insulin and occurred normally in cells virtually completely depleted of protein kinase C activity. The insulin-stimulated increase in Raf-1 protein phosphorylation occurred concurrently with a 3-fold increase in Raf-1 protein kinase activity. However, phosphoamino acid analysis showed that only phosphoserine and a trace of phosphothreonine were present in the Raf-1 protein after insulin stimulation of the cells. This was true even when investigated at shorter times (4 min) after insulin stimulation and despite the use of phosphotyrosine phosphatase inhibitors. We conclude that insulin can rapidly activate the Raf-1 kinase in some insulin-sensitive cell types but that this activation probably occurs through a mechanism distinct from direct phosphorylation of the Raf-1 protein by the insulin receptor protein tyrosine kinase.

Serum response factor (SRF) is a mammalian transcription factor that binds to the serum response element in the enhancer of the c-fos proto-oncogene and thus may mediate serum-induction of c-fos transcription. We report here that the DNA binding activity of recombinant SRF made in Escherichia coli can be greatly enhanced by incubation of the protein with HeLa cell nuclear extract. The enhancing activity is ATP or GTP dependent and cofractionates with a protein kinase that phosphorylates SRF on a specific tryptic peptide. Coincubation with phosphatase blocks the enhancing activity, further suggesting that the enhanced binding activity is due to phosphorylation. The specific tryptic phosphopeptide phosphorylated in vitro is also phosphorylated in vivo, demonstrating that this phosphorylation is physiologically important. We have localized the phosphorylation site by a small deletion mutant. Finally, we show that the kinase activity is provided by casein kinase II (CKII) or a close variant. The potential role of CKII as either a regulatory or constitutive modifier of SRF in vivo will be discussed.

The proto-oncogene c-raf-1 encodes a 74 kD serine/threonine kinase. Recently, it has been shown that Raf kinase activity is stimulated by platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) treatment of receptor bearing cells, and that p74 is a direct substrate for PDGF receptor. CSF-1 treatment of BeWo cells, a human choriocarcinoma cell line, and mouse NIH 3T3 cells expressing a transfected human CSF-1 receptor cDNA, was associated with a 3-4 fold increase in phosphorylation of a 74 kD protein immunoprecipitated with affinity purified Raf-1 antibody. The kinase activity of p74 was increased 2-3 fold against two exogenous substrates following CSF-1 treatment of the transfected cells. These observations suggest that Raf-1 protein is a downstream second messenger molecule in CSF-1 mediated signal transduction.

We have assigned the mouse rhodopsin gene, Rho, to chromosome 6 using DNA from a set of mouse-hamster somatic hybrid cell lines and a partial cDNA clone for mouse opsin. This assignment rules out the direct involvement of the rhodopsin gene in the known mouse mutations that produce retinal degeneration, including retinal degeneration slow (rds, chromosome 17), retinal degeneration (rd, chromosome 5), Purkinje cell degeneration (pcd, chromosome 13), and nervous (nr, chromosome 8). Segregation of Rho-specific DNA fragment differences among 50 animals from an interspecific backcross (C57BL/6J X Mus spretus) X C57BL/6J indicates that the Rho locus is 4.0 +/- 2.8 map units distal to the locus for the proto-oncogene Raf-1 and 18.0 +/- 5.4 map units proximal to the locus for the proto-oncogene Kras-2. Linkage to Raf-1 was confirmed using four sets of recombinant inbred strains. The two loci RAF1 and RHO are also syntenic on human chromosome 3, but on opposite arms.

The polyoma middle tumor antigen (MTAg) associates with the src proto-oncogene product pp60c-src in infected or transformed rodent cells. The tyrosine protein kinase activity of pp60c-src, as measured by in vitro phosphorylation of pp60c-src itself or the exogenous substrate enolase, was increased 10- to 20-fold in cells transformed or infected with transformation-competent polyoma virus compared with controls. pp60c-src associated with MTAg and precipitated with polyoma antitumor serum had a novel site(s) of in vitro tyrosine phosphorylation within its amino-terminal domain. These observations suggest that association of MTAg with pp60c-src alters the accessibility of pp60c-src tyrosine residues for phosphorylation in vitro and increases pp60c-src protein kinase activity. Several transformation-defective mutants of MTAg did not cause amino-terminal tyrosine phosphorylation of pp60c-src in vitro or enhance its protein kinase activity, suggesting that these properties correlate with the transforming ability of MTAg. However, one transformation-defective MTAg mutant, dl1015, did cause amino-terminal tyrosine phosphorylation of pp60c-src in vitro and did enhance its protein kinase activity. This suggests that properties of MTAg, in addition to modifying the structure and function of pp60c-src, may be important for transformation.

The proto-oncogene c-kit, a transmembrane tyrosine protein kinase receptor for an unknown ligand, was shown recently to map to the dominant white spotting locus (W) of the mouse. Mutations at the W locus affect various aspects of hematopoiesis, as well as the proliferation and/or migration of primordial germ cells and melanoblasts during development. Here, we show that c-kit is expressed in tissues known to be affected by W mutations in fetal and adult erythropoietic tissues, mast cells, and neural-crest-derived melanocytes. We demonstrate that the c-kit associated tyrosine-specific protein kinase is functionally impaired in W/WV mast cells, thus providing a molecular basis for understanding the developmental defects that result from these mutations.

The product of the c-src proto-oncogene, pp60c-src, is phosphorylated at Ser-17 by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase A and at Ser-12 by calcium-phospholipid-dependent protein kinase C (when stimulated by 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate). We tested the effects of Ser----Ala and Ser----Glu mutations at these sites in pp60c-src and in pp60c-src(F527) (a mutant whose transforming activities are enhanced by Tyr-527----Phe mutation) by transfecting single-, double-, and triple-mutant src expression plasmids into NIH 3T3 cells. Tryptic phosphopeptide analyses of the mutant proteins confirmed prior biochemical identifications of the phosphorylation sites and showed that neither separate nor coordinate mutations at Ser-12 and Ser-17 affected Tyr-416, Tyr-527, or Ser-48 phosphorylation or prevented mitosis-specific phosphorylations of either pp60c-src or pp60c-src(F527). Ser-12 mutation did not affect phosphorylation of the Ser-17-containing peptide, but mutation of Ser-17 significantly increased phosphorylation at Ser-12. Specific kinase activities (both with and without in vivo 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate treatment) and the abilities of pp60c-src and pp60c-src(F527) to induce foci, transformed morphologies, and anchorage-independent growth were unaffected by any of the serine mutations. Thus, pp60c-src transforming activity in NIH 3T3 cells is relatively insensitive to phosphorylation at these sites, but there is a suggestion that Ser-17 phosphorylation may have a subtle regulatory effect.

We have examined the interaction between the serine/threonine kinase proto-oncogene product Raf-1 and the tyrosine kinase PDGF beta-receptor. Raf-1 tyrosine phosphorylation and kinase activity were increased by PDGF treatment of 3T3 cells or CHO cells expressing wild-type PDGF receptors but not mutant receptors defective in transmitting mitogenic signals, suggesting that the increase in Raf-1 kinase activity is a significant event in PDGF-induced mitogenesis. Concurrent with these increases, Raf-1 associated with the ligand-activated PDGF receptor. Furthermore, both mammalian Raf-1 and Raf-1 expressed using a recombinant baculoviral vector, associated in vitro with baculoviral-expressed PDGF receptor. This association was markedly decreased by prior phosphatase treatment of the receptor. Following incubation of partially purified baculoviral-expressed PDGF receptor with partially purified Raf-1, Raf-1 became phosphorylated on tyrosine and its serine/threonine kinase activity increased 4- to 6-fold. This is the first demonstration of the direct modulation of a protein activity by a growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase.

It has been suggested that the proto-oncogene c-src plays a functional role in developing neurons, and in the mature nerve cells of higher vertebrates. The coelenterate Hydra represents the most primitive known organism possessing nerve cells. With Southern blot hybridizations we have demonstrated src-related sequences in Hydra. Antisera specific for the c-src gene product (pp60c-src) of birds and mammals precipitate a protein from Hydra cell extracts with a tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity. Studies of tissues and cells fractionated from a temperature sensitive mutant of Hydra which is depleted of interstitial (including nerve) cells at the non-permissive temperature, have indicated the src-like kinase of Hydra to be preferentially expressed in nerve cells. The high conservation of structural features and of the expression pattern indicates a basic function for pp60c-src in neurons.

Protein myristoylation was first discovered in the catalytic subunit of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate-dependent protein kinase. Subsequently, various cellular and viral myristoylated proteins were detected. In each case, the myristoyl moiety was found in an amide linkage with the amino terminal glycine residue of the modified proteins. The biological functions of protein myristoylation of various cellular protein, oncogene product, and viral structural proteins have been studied by many biochemists. Two of the most thoroughly studies myristoylated proteins are the transforming protein of Rous sarcoma virus, pp60v-src, and the proto-oncogene product, pp60c-src. Deletion, modification of the first 14 NH2-terminal amino acid of pp60v-src, or chemical antimyristoylation of the protein with N-myristoyl glycinal diethylacetal does not affect intrinsic tyrosine src-kinase activity, but prevents myristoylation and membrane association, and abolishes the transforming activity of the protein. Protein myristoylations of some viral structural proteins were also studied by many investigators, and X-ray crystallographic studies of poliovirus suggest that myristate moiety may play a central role in capsid assembly. Recently, human immunodeficiency virus, HIV-I, process a myristoylated p17gag protein, which is proteolytically derived from the NH2-terminus of a gag precursor protein, and its myristate moiety may be important for virus assembly. In this review, we detailed recent studies of the protein myristoylation in cellular regulation and virus proliferation.
