Synthetic peptide substrates for the cell division cycle regulated protein kinase, p34cdc2, have been developed and characterized. These peptides are based on the sequences of two known substrates of the enzyme, Simian Virus 40 Large T antigen and the human cellular recessive oncogene product, p53. The peptide sequences are H-A-D-A-Q-H-A-T-P-P-K-K-K-R-K-V-E-D-P-K-D-F-OH (T antigen) and H-K-R-A-L-P-N-N-T-S-S-S-P-Q-P-K-K-K-P-L-D-G-E-Y-NH2 (p53), and they have been employed in a rapid assay of phosphorylation in vitro. Both peptides show linear kinetics and an apparent Km of 74 and 120 microM, respectively, for the purified human enzyme. The T antigen peptide is specifically phosphorylated by p34cdc2 and not by seven other protein serine/threonine kinases, chosen because they represent major classes of such enzymes. The peptides have been used in whole cell lysates to detect protein kinase activity, and the cell cycle variation of this activity is comparable to that measured with specific immune and affinity complexes of p34cdc2. In addition, the peptide phosphorylation detected in mitotic cells is depleted by affinity adsorption of p34cdc2 using either antibodies to p34cdc2 or by immobilized p13, a p34cdc2-binding protein. Purification of peptide kinase activity from mitotic HeLa cells yields an enzyme indistinguishable from p34cdc2. These peptides should be useful in the investigation of p34cdc2 protein kinase and their regulation throughout the cell division cycle.

Viral and cellular oncogene products sometimes activate protein kinases, are protein kinases themselves, or share phosphorylation sequence motifs for different protein kinases. We have recently shown that a protein kinase activity is tightly associated with immunopurified p53. We have now expressed p53 in a baculovirus expression system and characterized this protein kinase activity in more detail. We found that casein could compete with p53 in the kinase reaction. Heparin efficiently inhibited the p53 associated protein kinase whereas the polyamine spermidine stimulated enzymatic activity. A synthetic peptide which was shown to be specifically phosphorylated by casein kinase II blocked the in vitro phosphorylation of p53, whereas a synthetic peptide with a potential phosphorylation site on human p53 at ser 315 was ineffective in blocking the phosphorylation of p53. GTP as well as ATP can be used as a phosphate donor in the in vitro kinase reaction. An antibody directed against casein kinase II coprecipitated p53 from insect cells as well as from mammalian cells. These data strongly indicate that casein kinase II is associated with immunopurified p53 and contributes to the phosphorylation of p53. A mutant p53 with a ser 389 to ala exchange was not phosphorylated in vitro by the p53 associated protein kinase.

The BCR gene (Groffen et al., 1984) plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of human leukemias that involve the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1) (Rowley, 1973; Nowell & Hungerford, 1960). Cells containing the Ph1 contain a chimeric gene formed from the fusion of BCR (Collins et al., 1987; Lifshitz et al. 1988) and ABL genes that results from the reciprocal translocation of segments of chromosomes 9 and 22 (Shtivelman et al., 1985). The product of this chimera is a 210 kDa protein, termed P210 BCR-ABL, that possesses an activated tyrosine kinase activity (Konopka et al., 1984; Kloetzer et al., 1985). Studies using long-term marrow culture systems and retrovirus-mediated gene transfer have documented that P210 BCR-ABL can stimulate the growth of immature hematopoietic precursor cell types (McLaughlin et al., 1987; Young & Witte, 1984). We have previously reported that P210 BCR-ABL exists in cytoplasmic complexes in association with a 53 kDa protein termed ph-P53 (Maxwell et al., 1987; Li et al. 1988). Similarly, BCR proteins have been found in cytoplasmic complexes containing ph-P53 in cells lacking the Ph1 (Li et al., 1989). These BCR protein complexes possess an associated ser/thr protein kinase activity. In this same study, we found that P210-containing complexes phosphorylate BCR proteins on tyrosine residues in vitro (Li et al., 1989). We now present results which demonstrate that P210 BCR-ABL is tightly associated with P160 BCR and ph-P53 proteins in cytoplasmic complexes from cells containing the Ph1.

Enhanced protein phosphorylation seems to be characteristic for cell transformation. Viral or cellular oncogene products which are functionally implicated in cell transformation sometimes activate protein kinases, or they are protein kinases themselves. In the present paper we have shown that a protein kinase activity is tightly associated with immunopurified oncoprotein p53, either uncomplexed or in complex with SV40 large T antigen. Furthermore, we could demonstrate that the protein kinase associated with immunopurified p53 was independent of SV40 large T antigen. p53 in the immunocomplexes served as a substrate for this protein kinase. Phosphoamino acid analysis of in vitro phosphorylated p53 revealed a phosphorylation predominantly on serine residues similar to p53 phosphorylated in vivo. The use of different monoclonal antibodies did not reveal a total inhibition of the protein kinase activity. However, p53 precipitated with monoclonal antibodies which recognize a C-terminal domain, was phosphorylated in vitro to a lesser extent than p53 which was precipitated with monoclonal antibodies that recognize an N-terminal epitope. All subclasses of immunopurified p53 separable by sucrose density gradients or by sequential immunoprecipitation exhibited a protein kinase activity and served as substrates for this protein kinase. Moreover, a protein kinase activity was found to be associated with baculovirus expressed p53 which allows us to attribute this enzymatic activity more directly to p53.

The entire coding sequence of wild-type mouse p53 was expressed in Escherichia coli under control of the PL promoter of bacteriophage lambda. The bacterial p53 protein had identical mobility to p53 from SV3T3 cells on SDS polyacrylamide gels and was recognized in bacterial lysates by three p53-specific monoclonal antibodies, including PAb246 which is specific for wild-type mouse p53. Immunoprecipitates of the bacterial p53 were phosphorylated by a highly purified preparation of rat casein kinase II; the stoichiometry of incorporation was approximately 1 mol of phosphate per mol of p53. The phosphorylated residue was identified by phosphopeptide mapping as serine 389, which is a major site of p53 phosphorylation in vivo. p53 (serine 389) kinase activity was detected on lysates of SV3T3 cells; this activity co-purified with casein kinase II on phosphocellulose and Mono Q columns and was inhibited by heparin. Immunoprecipitates of the p53-T antigen complex from SV3T3 cells also had associated serine 389 kinase activity. Phosphorylation of serine 389 by this kinase was potently inhibited by heparin and quenched by excess unlabelled GTP. The data indicate that p53 is a physiological substrate of casein kinase II, which is stimulated in response to mitogens, phosphorylates nuclear oncoproteins, and may play a role in the transduction of extracellular signals to the nucleus.

The cellular phosphoprotein p53 is presumably involved in simian virus 40 (SV40)-induced transformation. We have monitored changes in the state of phosphorylation of p53 from normal versus SV40-infected or -transformed cells. In normal cells, p 53 was hardly phosphorylated. Upon infection or transformation, a quantitative and qualitative increase in p53 phosphorylation was observed as revealed by two-dimensional phosphopeptide analysis. This increase was dependent on a functional large T antigen. In rat cells, enhanced phosphorylation of p53 resulted in conversion to a second, electrophoretically distinct form. In cells transformed with transformation-defective mutants, phosphorylation of p53 was reduced and conversion to form 2 was inefficient. These data suggest (i) that SV40 large T antigen induces or activates a protein kinase, one substrate of which is p53, (ii) that transformation-defective mutants are impaired in kinase induction, and (iii) that either a certain phosphorylation state of p53 or the SV40-induced kinase is critical for efficient transformation.

HeLa cells contain a serine/threonine protein kinase (DNA-PK) that is strongly activated in vitro by low concentrations of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). Activation was specific for dsDNA; both natural DNAs and synthetic oligonucleotides functioned as kinase activators. The fact that DNA-PK activity was rapidly inhibited by incubation with dsDNA and ATP suggests that DNA-PK activity also may be regulated by autophosphorylation. During gel filtration, DNA-PK activity behaved as a 350-kDa protein, and highly purified DNA-PK contained a dsDNA-binding, 350-kDa polypeptide that was phosphorylated in a dsDNA-dependent manner. We conclude that this 350-kDa polypeptide is likely to be DNA-PK. Previously we showed that the dsDNA-activated kinase phosphorylates two threonines at the N terminus of hsp90 alpha (S. P. Lees-Miller and C. W. Anderson, J. Biol. Chem. 264:17275-17280, 1989). Here we show that DNA-PK also phosphorylates the simian virus 40 large tumor antigen, the mouse tumor-suppressor protein p53, the human Ku autoantigen, and two unidentified HeLa DNA-associated polypeptides of 52 and 110 kDa. Identification of these and other newly identified DNA-binding substrates suggest that the dsDNA-activated kinase may regulate transcription, DNA replication, or cell growth.

Cell extracts of the thermophile Clostridium thermohydrosulfuricum catalyzed the phosphorylation by [gamma-32P]ATP of several endogenous proteins with Mrs between 13,000 and 100,000. Serine and tyrosine were the main acceptors. Distinct substrate proteins were found in the soluble (e.g., proteins p66, p63, and p53 of Mrs 66,000, 63,000, and 53,000, respectively) and particulate (p76 and p30) fractions, both of which contained protein kinase and phosphatase activity. The soluble fraction suppressed the phosphorylation of particulate proteins and contained a protein kinase inhibitor. Phosphorylation of p53 was promoted by 10 microM fructose 1,6-bisphosphate or glucose 1,6-bisphosphate and suppressed by hexose monophosphates, whereas p30 and p13 were suppressed by 5 microM brain (but not spinach) calmodulin. Polyamines, including the "odd" polyamines characteristic of thermophiles, modulated the labeling of most of the phosphoproteins. Apart from p66, all the proteins labeled in vitro were also rapidly labeled in intact cells by 32Pi. Several proteins strongly labeled in vivo were labeled slowly or not at all in vitro.

Triton-insoluble cytoskeleton of nonpigment cells has bound protein kinase that phosphorylates, with or without added cAMP, tubulins and the intermediate filament proteins p60, p56, p53, and p45a to give multiple charge variants. In the absence of 8-Br-cAMP, Triton-insoluble cytoskeletons from xanthophores also phosphorylate p60, p56, and p45a, but not p53; tubulin phosphorylation may also be reduced. In the presence of 8-Br-cAMP, p53, as well as several other peptides, are phosphorylated. One of these latter peptides was identified as the carotenoid droplet (pigment organelle) protein p57, whose phosphorylation and dephosphorylation precede pigment dispersion and aggregation respectively (Lynch et al.: J. Biol. Chem. 261:4204-4211, 1986). The amount of pp57 produced depends on the state of pigment distribution in the xanthophores used to prepare the cytoskeletons for labeling. With cytoskeletons from xanthophores with aggregated pigment, pp57 is a major labeled phosphoprotein seen in two-dimensional gels. With cytoskeletons prepared from xanthophores with dispersed pigment, the yield of labeled pp57 is greatly reduced (by at least 90%). Together with earlier results, we propose that, in the aggregated state, p57 serves to bind carotenoid droplets to the cytoskeletons, most likely the microtubules. The significance of other cAMP-dependent phosphorylation reactions is unknown but may be related to cAMP-induced cytoskeleton rearrangement in intact xanthophores.

Leukemic cells from patients with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1)-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) contain a 210 kDa protein (P210bcr-abl) with a protein tyrosine kinase activity that is a product of fused bcr and abl genes. We have prepared two monoclonal anti-peptide antibodies, one from each gene product, and have affinity purified each. Incubation of anti-abl (c-abl 51-64) immunoprecipitates of K562 cells with [gamma-32P]ATP in protein kinase assays resulted in the labeling of P210bcr-abl and a 53 kDa (ph-P53) protein. Increasing concentrations of antibody detected similar ratios of P210bcr-abl: ph-P53, suggesting the presence of a complex between the proteins. Several different anti-abl and anti-bcr antibodies detected the ph-P53/P210 complex. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) treatment without 2-mercaptoethanol eluted P210bcr-abl and ph-P53 from the monoclonal antibody in the form of complexes which migrated on 6% SDS-polyacrylamide gels and had apparent molecular weights of 275,000 and more than 500,000. Both complexes yielded ph-P53 and P210bcr-abl upon treatment with SDS-mercaptoethanol. Studies involving glycerol gradient centrifugation also detected complexes of P210bcr-abl and ph-P53. Our results indicate that ph-P53 is not a degraded product of P210bcr-abl, does not share antigenic determinants with P210bcr-abl since it is not recognized by anti-abl and bcr antibodies in immunoblots, is not the phosphorylated heavy chain of immunoglobulin G, and is different from p53 (the nonviral T protein) complexed to the large T antigen of simian virus 40. Previous studies (Maxwell et al., 1987) have shown that ph-P53 has a different peptide map than P210bcr-abl. Therefore, we conclude that ph-P53 is a distinct cellular protein complexed to P210bcr-abl in K562 cells.
