We have studied the localization of three abundant cellular proteins which are substrates for tyrosine protein kinases in virally transformed chicken embryo fibroblasts. The primary location of each substrate is unaltered by transformation with Rous sarcoma virus (RSV). The tyrosine-phosphorylated species is localized with the nonphosphorylated species. Two of the proteins, of about 46,000 and 28,000 daltons, have a similar location. They are present in the high speed supernatant of cells homogenized in hypotonic buffer, and are soluble in nonionic detergent. The third protein, of about 39,000 daltons, is particulate when cells are homogenized in hypotonic buffer containing divalent cations, but approximately 30% is free in the high-speed supernatant when divalent cations are absent. This protein appears to be associated with the detergent-insoluble matrix when adherent cells are gently lysed in nonionic detergent in situ, but is soluble when the same cells are extracted with nonionic detergent in suspension. This suggests that one of the proteins are tightly associated with detergent-insoluble cytoskeletal structures, unlike the RSV transforming protein itself, which is the main tyrosine protein kinase known to be active in RSV-transformed cells.

All 15 protein kinases whose amino acid sequence is known contain a lysine residue at a position homologous to that of lysine-295 in p60src, the transforming protein of Rous sarcoma virus. The ATP analog p-fluorosulfonyl 5'-benzoyl adenosine inactivates both p60src and the catalytic subunit of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase by modification of this lysine. We used oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis to examine the possible functions of this residue. Lysine-295 in p60src was replaced with a glutamic acid, an arginine, or a histidine residue, and mutant p60src proteins were characterized in chicken cells infected by mutant viruses. None of these three mutant p60src proteins had tyrosine protein kinase activity in vitro, and none induced morphological transformation of infected cells. Since neither a histidine nor an arginine residue can replace the function of lysine-295, we suggest that it carries out the specialized function of proton transfer in the phosphotransferase reaction. All three mutant viruses underwent reversion to wild type during passage in tissue culture. Because the rate with which this occurred differed significantly among the mutants, reversion appears to have resulted from errors in transcription, rather than from recombination with the cellular src gene.

Bisulfite mutagenesis techniques have been used to introduce single-point mutations within a region of the Rous sarcoma virus src gene defined by a BglI restriction endonuclease cleavage site. The mutants of Rous sarcoma virus that are produced by these techniques encode src proteins which contain single amino acid changes within a highly conserved amino acid sequence encompassing residues 430 to 433. DNA from the mutants CHpm26 ( Ala430 to Val), CHpm9 ( Pro431 to Ser), CHpm6 ( Glu432 to Lys), and CHpm65 ( Ala433 to Thr) each failed to transform chicken cells upon transfection, whereas DNA from CHpm59 (a third base alteration in the codon for Glu432 ) readily transformed chicken cells. Analysis of immune complexes containing the altered src proteins indicates that these proteins have decreased tyrosine protein kinase activity in vitro. In vivo labeling of cells infected with the mutant virus revealed diminished levels of the tyrosine-phosphorylated 34,000-molecular-weight protein. These data indicate that mutations within the sequence Ala430 - Pro431 - Glu432 - Ala433 lead to alterations in pp60src-specific tyrosine protein kinase activity and a concomitant loss of transforming potential of the mutant virus.

We have examined the phosphorylation of a 50,000-dalton cellular polypeptide associated with the Rous sarcoma virus (FSV) transforming protein pp60-src. It has been shown that pp60src forms a complex with two cellular polypeptides, an 89,000-dalton heat-shock protein (89K) and a 50,000-dalton phosphoprotein (50K). The pp60src-associated protein kinase activity phosphorylates at tyrosine residues, and the 50K polypeptide present in the complex contains phosphotyrosine and phosphoserine. These observations suggest that the 50K polypeptide may be a substrate for the protein kinase activity of pp60src. To examine this possibility, we isolated the 50K polypeptide by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis from lysates of uninfected or virally infected cells. Tryptic phosphopeptide analysis indicated that the 50K polypeptide isolated by this method was the same polypeptide as that complexed to pp60src. In uninfected cells or cells infected by a transformation-defective mutant, the 50K polypeptide contained phosphoserine but little or no phosphotyrosine. In cells infected by Schmidt-Ruppin or Prague RSV, there was a 40- to 50-fold increase in the quantity of phosphotyrosine in the 50K protein. Thus, the phosphorylation of the 50K polypeptide at tyrosine is dependent on the presence of pp60src. However, the 50K polypeptide isolated from cells infected by temperature-sensitive mutants of RSV was found to be phosphorylated at tyrosine at both permissive and nonpermissive temperatures; this behavior is different from that of other substrates or putative substrates of the pp60src kinase activity. It is possible that the 50K polypeptide is a high-affinity substrate of pp60src.
