We have studied the effect of protein phosphokinase (EC 2.7.1.37; ATP:protein phosphotransferase) and phosphoprotein phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.16; phosphoprotein phosphohydrolase) on reverse transcriptase (RNA-dependent DNA nucleotidyltransferase) activity of Rous sarcoma virus. Protein kinase from Rous sarcoma virus-transformed chick embryo fibroblasts was purified by DEAE-cellulose chromatography, Sephadex gel filtration, and isoelectric focusing. Purified reverse transcriptase from Rouse sarcoma virus was preincubated with protein kinase and ATP under conditions allowing incorporation of phosphate into substrate protein. After the preincubation, reverse transcriptase activity was assayed in the presence of poly(rA).oligo(dT) as template. A 2- to 5-fold increase of reverse transcriptase activity was found after the preincubation of reverse transcriptase with protein kinase and ATP. Incubation of reverse transcriptase with heat-treated, inactive protein kinase and ATP had no effect on transcriptase activity. When the transcriptase preparation was incubated with protein kinase and [gamma-32P]ATP and subsequently purified by chromatography on phosphocellulose and Sephadex gel filtration, significant amounts of 32P-labeled proteins were found in the fractions exhibiting reverse transcriptase activity, suggesting 32P incorporation into transcriptase or transcriptase-associated proteins. A 20-60% decrease of reverse transcriptase activity was observed after incubation of reverse transcriptase with phosphatase. The results suggest that phosphorylative modification of reverse transcriptase may be critical in the regulation of reverse transcriptase-catalyzed DNA synthesis.

Incorporation of phosphorus from [gamma-32P]ATP into protein was catalyzed by specific immunoprecipitates from avian sarcoma virus (ASV)-transformed avian and mammalian cells. This incorporation was observed only when antiserum from tumor-bearing rabbits able to specifically precipitate the ASV sarcoma gene product, p60src, was used to immunoprecipitate antigens from transformed cell lysates. Immunoprecipitates of extracts from normal cells or cells infected with a transformation-defective ASV mutant showed no activity in this assay, nor did any immune complexes formed with normal rabbit serum and any of the cell extracts tested. The expression of the protein kinase activity (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) was growth temperature-dependent in cells infected with an ASV mutant temperature-sensitive for the transformation. These results on an enzymatic activity associated with the ASV transforming protein are discussed in terms of protein phosphorylation as a mechanism for viral transformation.

Sera from certain rabbits bearing Schmidt-Ruppin strain Rous sarcoma virus (RSV)-induced tumors precipitated p60(src) from chicken cells transformed by the homologous virus as well as by other strains [Prague strain RSV, Bryan high-titer strain RSV, and Bratislava 77 strain of avain sarcoma virus (ASV)], the molecular weights (M(r)s) ranging from 60,000 to 64,000. The p60(src) immunoprecipitated from cells transformed by each of these strains incorporated [gamma-(32)P]ATP into the M(r) 53,000 subunit of IgG, though with differing activities. No such protein kinase activity (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) was observed when the following immunoprecipitates were used: from uninfected cells, from untransformed cells infected by Rous-associated virus, or from cells transformed by acute leukosis viruses, avian erythroblastosis virus, or myelocytoma virus 29. The kinase reaction had a pH optimum at pH 5.9 and an apparent K(m) for ATP of 4.9 +/- 2 muM, and was dependent on Mg(2+) (K(b) = 46 +/- 12 mM), for which Ca(2+) was no substitute. The kinase was cyclic AMP independent. In order to test whether the protein kinase reaction is directly catalyzed by p60(src), we compared the in vitro temperature sensitivities of the kinase activities from cells infected by transformation-temperature-sensitive mutant and parental wild-type virus. The first-order rate constant for the inactivation of the kinase from extracts of cells infected by the mutant virus was 2-fold greater than that from cells infected by wild-type virus. This result implicates the protein kinase as an enzymatic activity of the src gene product, the p60(src). Concomitant with the loss of the kinase activity by heat inactivation, p60(src) loses 60-70% of its phosphate content. The kinetics of dephosphorylation exactly parallel those for the inactivation of the kinase activity, suggesting that the p60(src) kinase is itself dependent on phosphorylation for its activity.

The gag-linked transformation-specific protein (polyprotein) p80 of Esh avian sarcoma virus (ESV) has been compared by tryptic peptide mapping with the homologous protein p90 of Yamaguchi 73 avian sarcoma virus (Y73). p80 of ESV and p90 of Y73 were found to share all four of their major nonstructural, transformation-specific, methionine-containing peptides and to have at least seven cysteine-containing transformation-specific peptides in common. Two nonstructural cysteine-containing peptides unique for ESV p80 and three specific for Y73 p90 were also identified. None of these peptides were found in the transforming gene product pp60src of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) or in the transformation-specific polyproteins p105 of avian sarcoma virus PRCII (PRCII) or p140 of Fujinami sarcoma virus (FSV). ESV p80 and Y73 p90 are phosphorylated, and their tryptic phosphopeptides appear to be identical. In each polyprotein two major phosphopeptides were demonstrated, one containing phosphoserine, the other phosphotyrosine. The latter serves as phosphoacceptor for the protein kinase activities (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) associated with p80 and p90. These protein kinase activities were found to be functionally indistinguishable but could be easily distinguished from the activities associated with PRCII p105 and FSV p140 on the basis of their cation requirement and target site specificity. On that basis also, p80/p90-associated protein kinases were found to be more similar to the enzymatic activity of pp60src than to those associated with the PRCII and FSV transformation-specific polyproteins. These results document a close genetic relationship between the two independently isolated sarcoma viruses Y73 and ESV. On the basis of the relatedness of transformation-specific proteins, ESV and Y73 constitute class III of avian sarcoma viruses, with class I containing the various strains of RSV and class II encompassing FSV and PRCII.

The transforming protein sequences translated from the Rous avian and Moloney murine sarcoma virus src genes are shown to be related to the catalytic chain of bovine cAMP-dependent protein kinase (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37). The avian transforming protein, also a protein kinase, shows greatest homology with the bovine protein kinase in the carboxyl-terminal half, where the protein kinase activity is localized. Moreover, lysine occurs in the inferred transforming protein sequences at the position homologous with the proposed ATP-binding lysine of the bovine protein kinase. This relationship is consistent with the hypothesis that the src genes originated in the host genomes, in which they are members of a superfamily of distantly related protein kinases that are normal constituents of mammalian cells. In the host, these sequences are much more highly conserved than in the viruses.
