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.

A clone of Daudi cells (Daudi-S) synthesizes the heavy chain of IgM (mu-chain) under routine conditions of cell culture. In the presence of alpha-interferon, however, synthesis of mu-chain is decreased rapidly at a time when the overall protein synthesis is not modified and the dsRNA-dependent protein kinase and the 2-5A synthetase are induced. This inhibition of mu-chain synthesis seems to be correlated with the antiproliferative action of interferon since it occurs only slightly in another clone of Daudi cells resistant (Daudi-R) to the antiproliferative action of interferon. In these resistant cells, however, the protein kinase and the 2-5A synthetase are induced by interferon. Specific inhibition of mu-chain synthesis in interferon-treated Daudi-S cells is a consequence of decreased steady-state levels of mu-chain mRNA. This effect occurs 4-8 h after addition of interferon in parallel with decreased levels of c-myc mRNA and enhanced levels of HLA mRNA. Reduced levels of mu-chain mRNA in interferon-treated Daudi-S cells is not a consequence of its enhanced degradation as shown by actinomycin D chase experiments. Furthermore, nuclear run on experiments rule out an effect on the transcription of mu-chain mRNA. Therefore, the inhibitory mechanism mediated by interferon might be at the level of termination and/or post-transcriptional processing of mu-chain RNA. In contrast, in these same interferon-treated Daudi-S cells, the inhibition of c-myc gene expression is due to an enhanced degradation of its mRNA (in accord with other reports). These data indicate that interferon can inhibit gene expression by different mechanisms.

While the heavy chain of rabbit skeletal muscle myosin is not phosphorylatable by casein kinase II, it turned out to be phosphorylatable after removal of all of the light chains. The phosphorylation site for the kinase was determined to be Ser-1 and/or Ser-2 at the amino terminus.

Expression of RSV-specific proteins was analysed in two virogenic and three helper-dependent RSV-transformed mammalian cell lines by the radioimmunoprecipitation technique. In all cell lines the only product of the gag gene was represented by the precursor Pr76gag without its further processing. The env gene was expressed in several lines in the form of 85K protein, but the product of this gene was absent in TWERC cells. The src gene product (pp60src) was identified by the protein kinase assay in all cells. In the kinase reaction in vitro, this protein can also phosphorylate some cellular proteins (130K, 34-36K and others) and the heavy chain of IgG.

The protein responsible for malignant transformation by avian sarcoma viruses (ASVs) has been identified as a phosphoprotein of molecular weight 60,000 designated pp60src (refs 1--4). It has been suggested that this protein has a functional role in cellular transformation involving the phosphorylation of cellular proteins, for it was discovered that specific immunoprecipitates from ASV-transformed cells that contain pp60src catalysed the transfer of phosphate from [gamma-32P]ATP to the heavy chain of rabbit immunoglobulin. Additional studies involving the cell-free synthesis of the ASV src protein further demonstrated that the presence of the src polypeptide correlated with that presence of a phosphotransferase activity. Our studies, involving the biochemical purification of this protein, have demonstrated that the ASV-transforming gene product, pp60src, is itself a protein kinase. We have purified the pp60src protein approximately 5,000-fold using either conventional ion-exchange chromatography or immunoaffinity chromatography. The resultant partially purified preparations contain a cyclic AMP-independent protein kinase activity. We report here that the soluble phosphotransferase activity of partially purified pp60src results in the phosphorylation of exclusively tyrosine residues in a variety of proteins that serve as substrates.

The Y73 strain of avian sarcoma virus recently isolated in Japan is defective in replication and is associated with subgroup A leukosis virus (YAV). The virus caused sarcoma but not acute leukosis when inoculated into chickens. Studies on the viral RNA showed that a 26S RNA, etimated to be 4.8 kilobases long, was Y73 viral RNA carrying a transforming gene. The 26S RNA has sequences in common with the RNA of an avian leukosis virus but no homology with the src gene sequence of avian sarcoma virus (ASV). Thus, Y73 has a unique sarcoma-inducing gene. A phosphorylated polyprotein of 90,000 daltons (p90) was immunoprecipitated from extracts of Y73-transformed chicken embryo cells by a variety of antisera reacting with gag gene products. When a bacteria-bound immunocomplex containing the p90 protein was incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP, the Y73-specific p90 and the IgG heavy chain were phosphorylated by a p90-associated protein kinase. The amino acid phosphorylated in vitro was exclusively tyrosine in both cases, whereas p90 phosphorylated in vivo contained phosphoserine as a major phospho amino acid with traces of phosphotyrosine and phosphothreoine.

The synthetic phosphohexapeptides Arg-Arg-Ala-Thr(35P)-Val-Ala and Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser(32P)-Val-Ala, phosphorylated by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase and differing only in the nature of the phosphorylated residue, have been used as substrates of a partially purified rat liver protein phosphatase-T, distinct from the multifunctional protein phosphatase-1. While the phosphothreonyl hexapeptide is readily dephosphorylated (exhibiting a Km = 15 microM), the phosphoseryl one is almost unaffected. Such a behavior is not shared by protein phosphatase-1, calf intestine alkaline phosphatase, and potato acid phosphatase, all of which are more active on the phosphoseryl hexapeptide. The NH2-terminal basic residues critical for cAMP-dependent phosphorylation are not required in the dephosphorylation reaction, as both Arg can be removed without impairing the efficiency of protein phosphatase-T toward the phosphothreonyl peptide. On the other hand, the replacement of 2 Pro for the Ala and Val flanking Thr(32P), to give a new phosphohexapeptide reproducing the phosphorylated site of protein phosphatase inhibitor-1, prevents the protein phosphatase-T activity. Moreover, IgG heavy chain 32P labeled in tyrosine is not affected by protein phosphatase-T, while it is dephosphorylated by alkaline phosphatase. These results would indicate that protein phosphatase(s)-T represent a distinct class of protein phosphatases specifically involved in the dephosphorylation of phosphothreonyl residues fulfilling definite structural requirements.

In previous work from this laboratory, a partially purified protein kinase from the soil amoeba Acanthamoeba castellanii was shown to phosphorylate the heavy chain of the two single-headed Acanthamoeba myosin isoenzymes, myosin IA and IB, resulting in a 10- to 20-fold increase in their actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activities (Maruta, H., and Korn, E.D. (1977) J. Biol. Chem. 252, 8329-8332). A myosin I heavy chain kinase has now been purified to near homogeneity from Acanthamoeba by chromatography on DE-52 cellulose, phosphocellulose, and Procion red dye, followed by chromatography on histone-Sepharose. Myosin I heavy chain kinase contains a single polypeptide of 107,000 Da by electrophoretic analysis. Molecular sieve chromatography yields a Stokes radius of 4.1 nm, consistent with a molecular weight of 107,000 for a native protein with a frictional ratio of approximately 1.3:1. The kinase catalyzes the incorporation of 0.9 to 1.0 mol of phosphate into the heavy chain of both myosins IA and IB. Phosphoserine has been shown to be the phosphorylated amino acid in myosin IB. The kinase has highest specific activity toward myosin IA and IB, about 3-4 mumol of phosphate incorporated/min/mg (30 degrees C) at concentrations of myosin I that are well below saturating levels. The kinase also phosphorylates histone 2A, isolated smooth muscle light chains, and, to a very small extent, casein, but has no activity toward phosvitin or myosin II, a third Acanthamoeba myosin isoenzyme with a very different structure from myosin IA and IB. Myosin I heavy chain kinase requires Mg2+ but is not dependent on Ca2+, Ca2+/calmodulin, or cAMP for activity. The kinase undergoes an apparent autophosphorylation.

A high salt extract of bovine brain was found to contain a protein kinase which catalyzed the phosphorylation of heavy chain of brain myosin. The protein kinase, designated as myosin heavy chain kinase, has been purified by column chromatography on phosphocellulose, Sephacryl S-300, and hydroxylapatite. During the purification, the myosin heavy chain kinase was found to co-purify with casein kinase II. Furthermore, upon polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the purified enzyme under non-denaturing conditions, both the heavy chain kinase and casein kinase activities were found to comigrate. The purified enzyme phosphorylated casein, phosvitin, troponin T, and isolated 20,000-dalton light chain of gizzard myosin, but not histone or protamine. The kinase did not require Ca2+-calmodulin, or cyclic AMP for activity. Heparin, which is known to be a specific inhibitor of casein kinase II, inhibited the heavy chain kinase activity. These results indicate that the myosin heavy chain kinase is identical to casein kinase II. The myosin heavy chain kinase catalyzed the phosphorylation of the heavy chains in intact brain myosin. The heavy chains in intact gizzard myosin were also phosphorylated, but to a much lesser extent. The heavy chains of skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle myosins were not phosphorylated to an appreciable extent. Although the light chains isolated from brain and gizzard myosins were efficiently phosphorylated by the same enzyme, the rates of phosphorylation of these light chains in the intact myosins were very small. From these results it is suggested that casein kinase II plays a role as a myosin heavy chain kinase for brain myosin rather than as a myosin light chain kinase.

The heavy chain of the HLA-A2 antigen is phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase at two serine residues of the intracellular region. Limited proteolysis was performed on purified [32P]HLA-A2 antigens in order to define the sites of phosphorylation. Both of the phosphorylated serine residues are located in the carboxyl terminus of the heavy chain; one is encoded by exon 5, while the other is encoded by exon 6. The phosphoserine encoded by exon 5 is part of the conserved sequence Arg-Arg-Lys-Ser-Ser. This protein sequence contains the proper arrangement of amino acids for recognition and phosphorylation by the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. In the murine class I antigens (H-2), exon 5 encodes a similar sequence of basic residues followed by one intervening residue and a threonine rather than a serine residue in the last amino acid position. A composite figure is presented that compares the carboxyl-terminal sequences of human and murine class I antigens and illustrates the known sites of phosphorylation recognized by various kinases. Each site of phosphorylation in the carboxyl terminus is contained within a conserved protein sequence encoded by one of the three exons. A separation and preservation of unique sites of phosphorylation could explain why there is segmentation in the genomic arrangement of class I molecules.
