The human serine/threonine protein casein kinase II (CK II) contains two distinct catalytic subunits, alpha and alpha 1, which are encoded by different genes. A combination of segregation analysis of rodent-human hybrid cells and chromosomal in situ hybridization have localized the human CK II-alpha DNA sequence to two loci: 11p15.5-p15.4 and 20p13. In contrast, the CK II-alpha' gene has been mapped to chromosome 16 by somatic cell hybrid analysis. Taken together with our previous assignment of the CK II regulatory beta-subunit gene to 6p12-p21, these results indicate that although the products of these genes form a single biological complex, they are encoded on different human chromosomes. Further analysis should determine whether both loci of CK II-alpha are functional, or perhaps one of the two constitutes a pseudogene.

Two proteins, termed P85gag-mos and P58gag, are encoded by the temperature-sensitive transformation mutant, ts110 Moloney murine sarcoma virus (MuSV). Based on temperature-shift studies, P85gag-mos is believed to be important for the transforming potential of ts110 MuSV and has been found to be associated with a thermolabile kinase activity that phosphorylates both P85gag-mos and P58gag in immune complexes. Modifications of the original kinase assay conditions are reported here that have allowed a 30-fold increase in the specific activity of P85gag-mos phosphorylated in vitro. The in vitro P85gag-mos-phosphorylating activity was found to be unresponsive to 10 microM-cAMP or 10 microM-cGMP. Addition of 1 mM-pyrophosphate, a known phosphatase inhibitor, to the reaction mixture resulted in an increased yield of phosphorylated P85gag-mos and P58gag; the molar phosphate incorporation per mole of P85gag-mos increased from 0.032 to 0.9, whereas the specific activity of in vitro-phosphorylated P58gag increased 18-fold, from 0.013 to 0.234. pH curves of the in vitro kinase reaction further confirmed the presence of phosphatase activity; in the absence of pyrophosphate, a sharp optimum at pH 4 to 5 was observed, whereas it shifted broadly to pH 7.0 in the presence of pyrophosphate. Under the latter conditions, several experiments were performed in order to determine if the kinase was associated with either gag or mos sequences of P85gag-mos. Antisera directed against p15, p12 and p30 sequences of the gag protein region of P85gag-mos yielded immune complexes that allowed phosphorylation in vitro of P85gag-mos. No phosphorylating activity was detected in immune complexes containing MuSV-124-encoded P62gag. An anti-mos serum generated against a synthetic peptide representing the predicted v-mos amino acid residues 37 to 55 recognizes P85gag-mos and allowed phosphorylation of P85gag-mos in vitro in the absence of P58gag. Peptide mapping of both phosphorylated P85gag-mos and P58gag, by using a combination of Cleveland and Western/immunoperoxidase techniques, demonstrated that P85gag-mos became phosphorylated not only on gag sequences, but also at the N-terminal portion of v-mos. Phosphoamino acid analyses of P85gag-mos and P58gag phosphorylated in vitro under these modified conditions yielded predominantly phosphoserine and lesser amounts of phosphothreonine. Metabolically 32P-labelled P85gag-mos and P58gag were also found to contain phosphoserine and phosphothreonine. Based on these results, we conclude that a cAMP-independent, serine/threonine protein kinase activity is associated with the mos sequences of P85gag-mos.

The transformation-specific polyproteins of avian sarcoma viruses PRCII, PRCII-p, Fujinami sarcoma virus (FSV), and Esh sarcoma virus (ESV) consist of two domains, one derived from a partial viral gag gene and the other representing an apparently cell-derived insert in the defective viral genome. These gag-linked proteins were cleaved with retrovirion protease p15. Cleavage of PRCII-p polyprotein P170, P105 of PRCII, and P140 of FSV occurred within the gag domain and generated fragments of Mr 130,000, 70,000, and 115,000, respectively, containing all of the transformation-specific sequences linked to a remnant of the original gag sequences. ESV P80 was cleaved inside the transformation-specific domain, yielding a Mr 35,000--38,000 fragment from the NH2-terminal half of the molecule consisting of the entire gag portion and some no-gag sequences and a Mr 48,000 fragment containing most of the transformation-specific sequences. The tyrosine phosphorylation sites of the polyproteins were found in every case in the transformation-specific fragments. The major serine phosphorylation site of ESV P80 was found to reside in the Mr 35,000--38,000 gag-containing fragment, probably within the transformation-specific sequences of that cleavage product. Removal of all of the gag domain of ESV P80 or most of the gag domain in PRCII-p P170, PRCII P105, and FSV P140 does not affect their ability to be phosphorylated by the polyprotein-associated tyrosine-specific protein kinase activities. This observation suggests that the gag sequences of the polyproteins of classes II (PRCII-p, PRCII, and FSV) and III (ESV) avian sarcoma viruses may not be required for this enzymatic function, which appears to be of importance in transformation.

Hybridomas secreting monoclonal antibodies directed against polyprotein gene products of the Gardner, Snyder-Theilen, and McDonough strain of feline sarcoma virus have been isolated. Antibody produced by one hybridoma recognizes immunological determinants localized within a feline leukemia virus gag gene structural component (p15) common to polyproteins encoded by each feline sarcoma virus isolate while antibody produced by a second is specific for p30 determinants unique to P170gag-fms. Additional hybridomas secrete antibody directed against v-fes specific determinants common to the Gardner and Snyder-Theilen feline sarcoma virus-encoded polyproteins and to v-fms determinants unique to P170gas-fms polyprotein. GA P110gas-fes and ST P85gas-fes immunoprecipitated by antibody directed against p15 exhibit readily detectable levels of protein kinase activity but lack such activity when precipitated by antibody specific for their acquired sequence (v-fes) components. P170gas-fms immunoprecipitated by monoclonal antibody to either p15 or p30 lacks detectable levels of autophosphorylation but represents a substrate for the GA P110gag-fes and ST P85gag-fes enzymatic activities. These findings argue that the v-fes-associated protein kinase represents an intrinsic property of the v-fes gene product and recognizes tyrosine acceptor sites within polyprotein gene products of all three strains of feline sarcoma virus.

Fujinami sarcoma virus (FSV) and PRCII are avian sarcoma viruses which share cellularly derived v-fps transforming sequences. The FSV P140gag-fps gene product is phosphorylated on three distinct tyrosine residues in transformed cells or in an in vitro kinase reaction. Three variants of FSV, and the related virus PRCII which lacks about half of the v-fps sequence found in FSV, encode gene products which are all phosphorylated at tyrosine residues contained within identical tryptic peptides. This indicates a stringent conservation of amino acid sequence at the tyrosine phosphorylation sites which presumably reflects the importance of these sites for the biologic activity of the transforming proteins. Under suitable conditions the proteolytic enzymes p15 and V8 protease each introduce one cut into FSV P140, p15 in the N-terminal gag-encoded region and V8 protease in the middle of the fps-encoded region. Using these enzymes we have mapped the major site of tyrosine phosphorylation to the C-terminal end of the fps region of FSV P140gag-fps. A second tyrosine phosphorylation site is found in the fps region of FSV P140 isolated from transformed cells, and a minor tyrosine phosphorylation site is found in the N-terminal gag-encoded region. Our results suggest that the C-terminal fps-encoded region is required for expression of the tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity.

Several independent isoltes of feline sarcoma virus (FeSV) have been described. Such viruses are apparently derived by genetic recombination between feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) genomic RNA and host cellular genetic sequences with transforming potential. Two FeSV isolates, one originally described by Gardner and the second by Snyder-Theilen, have been shown to encode polyproteins of around 115,000 molecular weight. Both polyproteins contain FeLV structural components (p15, p12) at their amino terminus in addition to nonstructural carboxyl terminal components encoded by acquired sequences within the FeSV genome. We have previously shown that Gardner FeSV P115 contains multiple sites of phosphorylation within its nonstructural component and possesses an associated protein kinase activity. In the present study we describe the expression in cells derived from a number of mammalian species, of a highly conserved celklular phosphoprotein with binding affinity for Gardner FeSV P115. This protein, designated P150, exhibits an associated protein kinase activity and is immunologically and structurally distinct from polyproteins encoded by the Gardner or Snyder-Theilen strains of FeSV.

The only known product of the Snyder-Theilen strain of feline sarcoma virus (ST-FeSV) is a 85,000-dalton protein, designated ST P85, that contains feline leukemia virus gag gene encoded proteins (p15, p12, and a fragment of p30) and a sarcoma virus-specific polypeptide. Antibodies directed against the latter immunoprecipitated a 92,000-dalton phosphoprotein (NCP 92) expressed at low levels in normal feline embryo fibroblasts as well as in feline cells of epithelial or lymphoid origin. Normal cellular proteins crossreactive with ST P85 were also detected in cell lines from various other mammalian species. These results suggest that the ST-FeSV sequences encoding for the sarcoma virus-specific domain of ST P85 originated from an evolutionarily conserved cellular gene expressed in cells of independent differentiation lineage. Immunoprecipitates containing ST-FeSV P85 exhibited a protein kinase activity that specifically phosphorylated tyrosine residues. The physiological significance of this finding is illustrated by the finding that phosphotyrosine is an intrinsic component of ST P85. Furthermore, 5- to-fold higher levels of this unusual phosphorylated amino acid were present in ST-FeSV transformants than in uninfected control cells. Phosphorylation of tyrosine residues appears to be associated with cellular transformation caused by Rous sarcoma virus and Abelson murine leukemia virus. Thus, independent transforming virus isolates from birds, mice, and cats may utilize common pathways in exerting their oncogenic potential.

Mink cells nonproductively-infected with the weakly-transforming T-8 isolate of murine leukemia virus (MuLV) express a 110,000 mol wt polyprotein designated T-8 P110. By immunoprecipitation analysis, T-8 P110 is shown to contain AKR-MuLV amino terminal gag gene-specific components (p15, p12) but to lack p30, p10, gp70, and p15(E) antigenic determinants. These observations are further substantiated by tryptic peptide analysis indicating T-8 P110 to share approximately six lysine-containing tryptic peptides with AKR-MuLV Pr65gag, and none with AKr-MuLV Pr82env. Furthermore, of seven methionine-containing T-8 P110 tryptic peptides, at least four can be conclusively shown not to be present in either AKr-MuLV Pr180gag/pol or Pr82env. A clonal mink cell line nonproductively infected by T-8, and expressing high levels of P110, although not morphologically transformed, is shown to lack elevated levels of tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity and reduction of epidermal growth factor binding sites characteristic of cells transformed by many other RNA-transforming viruses. These findings argue either that the T-8 viral genome contains acquired cellular sequences encoding a portion of P110, or that T-8 P110 represents an inphase deletion of AKR-MuLV Pr180gag/pol with extensive posttranlational modification and that an as yet unidentified protein is responsible for T-8 associated transformation.

The primary translational product of the McDonough (SM) strain of feline sarcoma virus (FeSV) is a 180,000-dalton molecule, SM P180, that contains the p15-p12-p30 region of the FeLV gag gene-coded precursor protein and a sarcoma virus-specific polypeptide. In addition, cells transformed by SM-FeSV express a 120,000-dalton molecule, SM P120, that is highly related to the non-helper virus domain of SM P180. Both SM-FeSV gene products were found to be intimately associated with the membrane fraction of SM-FeSV-transformed cells. Immunoprecipitates containing SM P180 and SM P120 exhibited a protein kinase activity capable of phosphorylating tyrosine residues of both viral gene products but not immune immunoglobulin G molecules. By independently immunoprecipitating each of the two SM-FeSV proteins we found that most of the tyrosine-specific phosphorylating activity was associated with the SM P120 molecule. In vivo analysis of 32P-labeled SM P180 and SM P120 revealed their phosphoprotein nature; however, both molecules exhibited low levels of phosphorylation and did not contain phosphotyrosine residues. Finally, we did not detect any significant elevation in the levels of phosphotyrosine in the protein fraction of SM-FeSV transformants. Thus, if SM-FeSV were to induce malignant transformation by a mechanism involving phosphorylation of tyrosine residues, the viral gene products must interact with a small subset of cellular proteins that do not represent a significant fraction of the total cellular protein content.

The phosphorylation sites of the P140gag-fps gene product of Fujinami avian sarcoma virus have been identified and localized to different regions of this transforming protein. FSV P140gag-fps isolated from transformed cells is phosphorylated on at least three distinct tyrosine residues and one serine residue, in addition to minor phosphorylation sites shared with Pr76gag. Partial proteolysis with virion protease p15 or with Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease has been used to generate defined peptide fragments of P140gag-fps and thus to map its phosphorylation sites. The amino-terminal gag-encoded region of P140gag-fps contains a phosphotyrosine residue in addition to normal gag phosphorylation sites. The two major phosphotyrosine residues and the major phosphorserine residue are located in the carboxy-terminal portion of the fps-encoded region of P140gag-fps. P140gag-fps radiolabeled in vitro in an immune complex kinase reaction is phosphorylated at only one of the two C-terminal tyrosine residues phosphorylated in vivo and weakly phosphorylated at the gag-encoded tyrosine and at a tyrosine site not detectably phosphorylated in vivo. Thus, the in vitro tyrosine phosphorylation of P140gag-fps is distinct from that seen in the transformed cell. A comparative tryptic phosphopeptide analysis of the gag-fps proteins of three Fujinami avian sarcoma virus variants showed that the phosphotyrosine-containing peptides are invariant, and this high degree of sequence conservation suggests that these sites are functionally important or lie within important regions. The P105gag-fps transforming protein of PRCII avian sarcoma virus lacks one of the C-terminal phosphotyrosine sites found in Fujinami avian sarcoma virus P140gag-fps. Partial trypsin cleavage of FSV P140gag-fps immunoprecipitated with anti-gag serum releases C-terminal fragments of 45K and 29K from the immune complex that retain an associated tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity. This observation, and the localization of the major P140gag-fps phosphorylation sites to the C-terminal fps region, indicate that the kinase domain of P140gag-fps is located at its C terminus. The phosphorylation of P140gag-fps itself is complex, suggesting that it may itself interact with several protein kinases in the transformed cell.
