Human platelets undergo a rapid, major reorganization of the cytoskeletal matrix upon exposure to thrombin, and accumulate 3-phosphorylated phosphoinositides in a protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent manner. These phosphoinositides have been suggested to be involved in actin polymerization/depolymerization. We reasoned that, if newly generated 3-phosphorylated phosphoinositide modulates cytoskeletal reorganization, a prerequisite for such action would be generation near cytoskeletal proteins. We have found that, after platelet activation, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and phosphatidylinositol(4)P 3-kinase activities, antibody-detectable phosphoinositide 3-kinase, and PKC become markedly and specifically enriched in a Triton X-100-insoluble cytoskeletal fraction that contains GPIIb/IIIa (integrin) and pp60c-src. The cytoskeletal fraction then accounts for up to 70% of total phosphoinositide 3-kinase activity, a function of recruited activated enzyme. These proteins are not occluded or directly associated with newly polymerized actin, since blockage by cytochalasin D of actin polymerization, and consequent inhibition of accumulation of about 40% of incremental protein and actin in this fraction, has no effect on its content of phosphoinositide 3-kinase, GPIIb/IIIa, pp60c-src, or PKC. Depolymerization of actin with DNase I, or inhibition of ligand binding to GPIIb/IIIa by RGDS, however, in combination with cytochalasin D, further depletes actin and significantly decreases sedimentability of GPIIb/IIIa as well as phosphoinositide 3-kinase, pp60c-src, and PKC, without inhibiting total 3-kinase activity. Our results suggest that, as a function of platelet activation, enzymes that regulate the synthesis of 3-phosphorylated phosphoinositides rapidly associate with the membrane skeleton and that skeletally associated phosphoinositide 3-kinase is more active than the Triton-soluble form.

To investigate the role of ras gene activity in cellular transformation by polyomavirus, murine C3H10T1/2 cells were rendered ras deficient by transfection with an antisense ras gene construct. Ras deficiency resulted in a partial suppression of the polyomavirus-induced transformed phenotype. The production of viral middle T antigen and its association with pp60c-src, increased membrane-associated protein kinase C activity, and morphological transformation were unaffected by the downregulation of c-ras gene expression. On the other hand, stimulated proliferation, focus formation on confluent monolayers of normal cells, and colony formation in soft agar were all greatly reduced in cells containing reduced p21ras levels. It is concluded that ras gene activity is needed for full cell transformation by polyomavirus.

The 58,000-Mr form (58K form) of the polyomavirus middle T antigen (mT) is a minor species distinguished by its phosphorylation in vivo on serine and by its efficient phosphorylation on tyrosine in immune complexes (B.S. Schaffhausen and T.L. Benjamin, J. Virol. 40:184-196, 1981). Here we report that the tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), an activator of protein kinase C, rapidly stimulates phosphorylation of this mT species when added to cultures of wild-type polyomavirus-infected or polyomavirus-transformed 3T3 cells. Incubation with TPA leads to an accumulation of the 58K mT species to levels 1.5- to 5-fold higher than that in untreated cells within 15 min. TPA specifically stimulates phosphorylation of the 58K mT species without affecting that of the 56K species. Mapping by partial proteolysis shows that TPA-stimulated phosphorylation occurs at or near the site in 58K mT that is normally phosphorylated in the absence of TPA. A synthetic diacyl glycerol, 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-glycerol, also specifically stimulates phosphorylation of 58K mT in vivo, while an inactive phorbol analog does not. TPA fails to induce phosphorylation of a 58K mT species encoded by certain nontransforming virus mutants with altered mT proteins that normally fail to undergo phosphorylation at the 58K site. These results indicate that the 58K form of mT is phosphorylated by or through the action of protein kinase C. TPA treatment of infected cells also leads to increased levels of 58K mT as measured in the immune complex kinase reaction, in which mT becomes phosphorylated on tyrosine by pp60c-src. These results are discussed in terms of a possible role for protein kinase C in activating mT function(s), including the formation of stable complexes with pp60c-src.

Exposure of dexamethasone-treated cells of the mT-1 line of F111 rat cells bearing a dexamethasone-inducible polyoma virus middle T (mT) antigen gene to very low concentrations of the protein kinase C-stimulating phorbol ester TPA increased the association of mT antigen with the cellular pp60c-src tyrosine protein kinase, as indicated by an increased phosphorylation of tyrosine residues of mT in mT:pp60c-src complexes precipitated from extracts of the TPA-treated cells by anti-mT antibodies. This TPA (hence probably protein kinase C)-enhanced association of mT with pp60c-src was accompanied by a large increase in the transforming ability of mT as indicated by a much enhanced ability of TPA-treated mT-1 cells producing submaximal levels of mT to proliferate while suspended in semi-solid medium and to form foci on confluent monolayers of normal F111 cells. NRCC NO: 26558.

Bombesin and the related mammalian peptides, such as gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP), are potent mitogens for some fibroblast cell lines. Here we have examined the bombesin- and GRP-mediated changes in the phosphorylation of proteins in Swiss 3T3 cells and compared these to the events observed after platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF) and tumor promoter treatment. In agreement with previous reports, bombesin, GRP and PDGF, but not EGF, increased the activity of protein kinase C. This was assayed by an inhibition of [125I]EGF binding, stimulation in phosphorylation of pp60c-src on serine 12 and stimulation in phosphorylation of a group of 80 kd proteins. The different phosphorylated forms of the 80 kd proteins were examined by tryptic peptide mapping and shown to contain multiple phosphorylation sites. An investigation of the tyrosine phosphorylation events following mitogen treatment revealed a significant difference between PDGF and the bombesin peptides. PDGF treatment caused a marked increase in total cellular phosphotyrosine levels, and tyrosine phosphorylation both of known substrates and its own receptor. In contrast, bombesin and GRP treatments resulted in only a weak or undetectable increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of total cellular protein or known substrates. In this respect bombesin and GRP were more similar to EGF. The fact that the bombesin peptides do not induce a phosphorylation response identical with either PDGF or EGF suggests that there is not a single common signal pathway which is activated by all these mitogens.

Stimulation of T cells or the Jurkat T-cell line with soluble antibodies to the CD3/T-cell receptor complex causes mobilization of cytoplasmic Ca2+, which is blocked by pertussis toxin but not by ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid, and translocation of protein kinase C activity from the cytoplasm to the membrane. Such stimulation also causes phosphorylation of pp60c-src at an amino-terminal serine residue. These activities are consistent with induction of phosphatidylinositol metabolism after antibody binding. Anti-CD3 stimulation with antibody in solution, however, does not cause Jurkat cells to release interleukin 2 and blocks rather than induces proliferation of T cells. Induction of interleukin 2 production by Jurkat cells and proliferation by normal T cells requires anti-CD3 stimulation with antibody on a solid support, such as Sepharose beads or a plastic dish. Thus, we examined phosphorylation of pp60c-src after stimulation of Jurkat cells with anti-CD3 in solution or on solid phase. Both of these caused serine phosphorylation of pp60c-src that was indistinguishable even after 4 h of stimulation. These results indicate that the mode of anti-CD3 stimulation (in solution or on solid phase) controls a cellular function that modifies the consequences of signal transduction through phosphatidylinositol turnover.

Lipocortin I is a 39-kilodalton membrane-associated protein that in A431 cells is phosphorylated on tyrosine in response to epidermal growth factor (EGF). We have used recombinant human lipocortin I as a substrate for several protein kinases and identified phosphorylated residues by a combination of peptide mapping and sequence analysis. Lipocortin I was phosphorylated near the amino terminus at Tyr-21 by recombinant pp60c-src. The same tyrosine residue was phosphorylated by polyoma middle T/pp60c-src complex, by recombinant pp50v-abl, and with A431 cell membranes by the EGF receptor/kinase. The primary site of phosphorylation by protein kinase C was also near the amino terminus at Ser-27. The major site of phosphorylation by adenosine cyclic 3',5'-phosphate dependent protein kinase was on the carboxy-terminal half of the molecule at Thr-216. These sites are compared to the phosphorylation sites previously located in the structurally related protein lipocortin II.

We have shown previously that pp60c-src is a substrate for protein kinase C in vivo and that the target of protein kinase C phosphorylation in mammalian pp60c-src is serine 12. We now demonstrate that in addition to tumor promoters, all activators of phosphatidylinositol turnover that we have tested in fibroblasts (platelet-derived growth factor, fibroblast growth factor, serum, vasopressin, sodium orthovanadate, and prostaglandin F2 alpha) lead to the phosphorylation of pp60c-src at serine 12. In addition to stimulating serine 12 phosphorylation in pp60c-src, platelet-derived growth factor treatment of quiescent fibroblasts induces phosphorylation of one or two additional serine residues and one tyrosine residue within the N-terminal 16 kilodaltons of the enzyme and activates its immune complex protein-tyrosine kinase activity.

Insulin and phorbol esters have been shown to produce similar, non-additive metabolic effects in BC3H-1 murine myocytes. Recently, it has been demonstrated that insulin stimulation of these cells increases production of diacylglycerol, a known activator of protein kinase C (PK-C). To determine if insulin stimulation results in the activation of PK-C, we have examined the effects of insulin and the tumor promoting phorbol ester, 12-0-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), on the phosphorylation of a known PK-C substrate in vivo, the cellular proto-oncogene product, pp60c-src. Differentiated BC3H-1 monocytes showed an approximate twofold elevation in the [32P] content of pp60c-src following stimulation with insulin or TPA for 20 min, with no detectable change in the level of immunoprecipitable c-src protein. The enhanced phosphorylation in response to each agent localized to serine residues in the amino terminal 16 kD staphylococcal V8 proteolytic fragment. Tryptic phosphopeptide analysis revealed that TPA stimulation resulted in an approximate 18-fold increase in phosphorylation of the serine 12-containing tryptic fragment. Insulin stimulation, however, resulted in an approximate 10-fold increase in phosphorylation of the serine 17-containing tryptic fragment with little or no accompanying increase in serine 12 phosphorylation. In cells exposed to high concentrations of TPA for 16 h to deplete PK-C activity, insulin, but not TPA, stimulated phosphorylation of pp60c-src. These data suggest that insulin and phorbol ester induce phosphorylation of pp60c-src by distinct protein kinases.

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.
