We have previously shown that forskolin and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) increased accumulation of cisplatin (DDP) in DDP-sensitive 2008 human ovarian carcinoma cells in proportion to their ability to increase cAMP. Since the major function of cAMP is to activate protein kinase A, it was conjectured that the stimulation of DDP accumulation was mediated by a protein kinase A substrate. We now show that exposure of 2008 cells to forskolin resulted in phosphorylation of a prominent 52-kD membrane protein. Microsequencing of the band demonstrated it to be human beta-tubulin. Similarly, pretreatment of 2008 cells with the microtubule stabilizing drug taxol increased platinum accumulation in a dose-dependent manner. In 11-fold DDP-resistant 2008/C13*5.25 cells, decreased DDP accumulation was associated with enhanced spontaneous formation of microtubule bundles and decreased expression of beta-tubulin and the tubulin-associated p53 antioncogene relative to 2008 cells. 2008/C13*5.25 cells had altered sensitivity to tubulin-binding drugs, being hypersensitive to taxol and cross-resistant to colchicine. We conclude that pharmacologic alterations of tubulin enhance accumulation of DDP, and that the DDP-resistant phenotype in 2008/C13*5.25 cells is associated with tubulin abnormalities.

In normal human diploid fibroblasts, cyclins of the A, B, and D classes each associate with cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), and p21, thereby forming multiple independent quaternary complexes. Upon transformation of diploid fibroblasts with the DNA tumor virus SV40, or its transforming tumor antigen (T), the cyclin D/p21/CDK/PCNA complexes are disrupted. In transformed cells, CDK4 totally dissociates from cyclin D, PCNA, and p21 and, instead, associates exclusively with a polypeptide of 16 kD (p16). Quaternary complexes containing cyclins A or B1 and p21/CDK/PCNA also undergo subunit rearrangement in transformed cells. Both PCNA and p21 are no longer associated with CDC2-cyclin B1 binary complexes. Cyclin A complexes no longer contain p21, and a new 19-kD polypeptide (p19) is found in association with cyclin A. The pattern of subunit rearrangement of cyclin-CDK complexes in SV40-transformed cells is also shared in those containing adeno- or papilloma viral oncoproteins. Rearrangement also occurs in p53-deficient cells derived from Li-Fraumeni patients that carry no known DNA tumor virus. These findings suggest a mechanism by which oncogenic proteins alter the cell cycle of transformed cells.

The monoclonal antibody (mAb) AA4 recognizes two alpha-galactosyl derivatives of the GD1b ganglioside on rat mast cells and on the rat basophilic leukemia RBL-2H3 cultured cell line. Here we demonstrate that mAb AA4 coprecipitated both protein tyrosine and serine kinases. In contrast, a monoclonal antibody to the GD3 ganglioside did not coprecipitate any kinase activity. In kinase assays of mAb AA4 immunoprecipitates there were phosphorylated proteins of 71-80, 53/56, and 41/42 kDa. All proteins were phosphorylated on tyrosine, whereas the 71-80- and 41/42-kDa proteins were also phosphorylated on serine residues. The precipitation of these proteins by mAb AA4 correlated with the presence of the alpha-galactosyl derivatives of GD1b. The 53/56-kDa proteins were identified as the Src-related tyrosine kinase p53/56lyn. The presence of p53/56lyn in the mAb AA4 immunoprecipitates was specific and was observed when several different detergents were used. The same 71-80-kDa tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins were immunoprecipitated by mAb AA4 and anti-Lyn antibodies and may play a role in the interaction of p53/56lyn with the gangliosides. Although there is a weak association of the high affinity IgE receptor with these gangliosides, the coprecipitation of p53/56lyn with mAb AA4 was not secondary to the association of this kinase with receptor. These complexes of gangliosides and several proteins that include p53/56lyn, a serine kinase, and the high affinity IgE receptor could play an important role in receptor-mediated signal transduction.

The tumor growth suppressor WAF1/CIP1 was recently shown to be induced by p53 and to be a potent inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases. In the present studies, we sought to determine the relationship between the expression of WAF1/CIP1 and endogenous regulation of p53 function. WAF1/CIP1 protein was first localized to the nucleus of cells containing wild-type p53 and undergoing G1 arrest. WAF1/CIP1 was induced in wild-type p53-containing cells by exposure to DNA damaging agents, but not in mutant p53-containing cells. The induction of WAF1/CIP1 protein occurred in cells undergoing either p53-associated G1 arrest or apoptosis but not in cells induced to arrest in G1 or to undergo apoptosis through p53-independent mechanisms. DNA damage led to increased levels of WAF1/CIP1 in cyclin E-containing complexes and to an associated decrease in cyclin-dependent kinase activity. These results support the idea that WAF1/CIP1 is a critical downstream effector in the p53-specific pathway of growth control in mammalian cells.

The E6 proteins of the oncogenic Human Papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18 are known to bind two cellular proteins, the tumor suppressor protein p53 and a 100 kDa protein named E6-AP. In this paper we describe the expression and purification of biologically active E6 fusion proteins and their specific association with additional cellular proteins. HPV16E6 specifically associated with at least seven cellular proteins which have been designated pp212, pp182, p100, p81, p75, p53 and p33 respectively, on the basis of molecular mass and phosphorylation. We have also shown that the complex of cellular proteins associated with HPV16, 18, 6 and 11 E6 proteins contains a protein kinase. This protein kinase phosphorylated exogenous histone H1 and the E6 associated protein pp182.

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a glycoprotein that critically regulates the viability, proliferation, and differentiation of granulocytic precursors and the function of neutrophils by signaling through its receptor. Cloning of the human G-CSF receptor (G-CSFR) cDNA has demonstrated sequence homology with other members of the hematopoietic/cytokine receptor superfamily. G-CSF stimulates the appearance of phosphotyrosine proteins in several types of human and murine myeloid cells. Since the receptor does not possess intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity, we hypothesized that G-CSFR interacts with and activates cytosolic protein-tyrosine kinases (PTKs). In vitro protein kinase assay of human G-CSFR immunoprecipitates demonstrated at least two tyrosine phosphoproteins, pp55 and pp70. We observed that G-CSF activated p53/p56lyn, a Src-related PTK, and p72syk, a non-Src-related PTK. Lyn and Syk were recovered in anti-G-CSFR immunoprecipitates; Lyn was detected in the absence of ligand. In addition, upon G-CSF stimulation, Lyn coimmunoprecipitated with Syk. Analysis of the G-CSFR amino acid sequence revealed a potential receptor activation motif for Syk. On the basis of immunoprecipitation and sequence analysis data, we propose that the human G-CSFR forms a three-component signaling complex with Lyn and Syk. Their sequential recruitment into the G-CSFR signaling complex demonstrates the coordinated involvement of two PTKs with a member of the hematopoietic/cytokine receptor superfamily.

The 55-kDa product of early region 1B (E1B) of human adenoviruses is required for viral replication and participates in cell transformation through complex formation with and inactivation of the cellular tumor suppressor p53. We have used both biochemical and genetic approaches to show that this 496-residue (496R) protein of adenovirus type 5 is phosphorylated at serine and threonine residues near the carboxy terminus within sequences characteristic of substrates of casein kinase II. Mutations which converted serines 490 and 491 to alanine residues decreased viral replication and greatly reduced the efficiency of transformation of primary baby rat kidney cells. Such mutant 496R proteins interacted with p53 at efficiencies similar to those of wild-type 496R but only partially inhibited p53 transactivation activity. These results indicated that phosphorylation at these carboxy-terminal sites either regulates the inhibition of p53 or regulates some other 496R function required for cell transformation.

DNA-activated protein kinase (DNA-PK) is a nuclear serine/threonine protein kinase that is activated in vitro by DNA fragments. The cellular targets of DNA-PK are nuclear, DNA-binding, regulatory proteins including Sp1, Fos, Jun, Myc, the tumor suppressor protein p53, and RNA polymerase II. These characteristics suggest a role for DNA-PK in coordinating nuclear processes and as a modulator of checkpoint mechanisms activated by DNA damage.

Wild type p53 assembles into a latent multiprotein complex which can be activated for sequence-specific DNA binding in vitro by proteins targeting the carboxy-terminal domain. Using an optimized system coupling the post-translational modification of wild type p53 to activation of sequence specific DNA binding, we examined the affects of common mutations on the cryptic DNA binding function of p53. Two mutant forms of p53 were shown to be efficiently converted from the latent state by PAb421 and DnaK, but were defective in activation by casein kinase II, indicating that mutant p53 may not be receptive to allosteric regulation by casein kinase II phosphorylation. A reactive sulfhydryl group is absolutely required for DNA binding by wild type and mutant forms of p53 once converted to the activated state. Together, these data show that some mutant forms of p53 harbour the wild-type machinery required to engage in sequence-specific DNA binding and define a signalling pathway whose inactivation may directly result in a loss of p53 function.

We examined the expression of p34cdc2 and its kinase activity in human gastric and colonic carcinoma cell lines and carcinoma tissues and studied its relation with a tumor-suppressor gene product, p53. All the gastric and colonic cancer cell lines expressed p34cdc2 and showed its kinase activity at various levels. When the cells were arrested in mitotic metaphase by the use of nocodazole, p34cdc2 kinase activity was induced and p53 was apparently phosphorylated. Of 12 gastric carcinoma cases, 11 (91.7%) showed higher p34cdc2 kinase activity in tumor tissues than in corresponding non-neoplastic mucosa. The protein kinase activities in the individual cases were well correlated with the levels of p34cdc2 protein expression. A good correlation was also found between the expression of p34cdc2 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Almost all the colonic carcinomas showed higher cdc2 kinase activity and increased p34 expression when compared with non-neoplastic mucosa. Interestingly, most of the gastric and colonic carcinomas having high cdc2 kinase activity expressed high levels of p53. These findings suggest that the increased p34cdc2 kinase activity might cause the development and proliferation of gastric and colonic carcinomas, partly through abnormal p53 accumulation.
