Medium T antigen, the transforming protein of polyoma virus, is associated with pp60c-src and strongly activates its tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity. We investigated whether the medium T-pp60c-src complex is also associated with an activity that phosphorylates the membrane phospholipid phosphatidylinositol, as shown for pp60v-src and p68v-ros, the transforming proteins of Rous sarcoma virus and avian sarcoma virus UR2, respectively. Medium T was purified by affinity chromatography from extracts of polyoma virus-infected mouse fibroblasts. It was bound to antibodies against a peptide corresponding to the carboxy terminus of medium T and released from the immune complex with an excess of the same peptide. In a second step, the partially purified medium T was bound to antibodies against another peptide corresponding to an internal region of medium T and released with excess peptide. Further purification was carried out with a monoclonal antibody against pp60c-src. Samples from each purification step were examined for protein kinase and phosphatidylinositol kinase activity. The highly purified preparations of the medium T-pp60c-src complex showed very low levels of phosphatidylinositol kinase activity, and no difference between medium T from transforming viruses and nontransforming hr-t mutants was detected. In contrast, protein kinase activity was associated with medium T purified from transforming viruses but not from hr-t mutants. 相似文献

Affinity-purified medium T antigen encoded by NG59, a nontransforming mutant of polyomavirus, is specifically associated with a protein of 72,000 daltons (72K protein). Medium T antigens of wild-type polyomavirus and the transformation-competent mutant dl8 are not associated with the 72K protein. Instead, they form a complex with another protein of 61,000 daltons. Several lines of evidence suggest that the medium T antigen-associated 72K protein is equivalent to the abundant and constitutive 73K heat shock protein. First, on two-dimensional polyacrylamide gels the 72K protein migrated with the same pI (5.6) as did the 73K heat shock protein. Second, the 72K protein was immunoprecipitable with antibodies against heat shock proteins. Third, when digested with V8 protease, the 72K protein gave rise to the same pattern of fragments as did the 73K heat shock protein. 相似文献

Polyomavirus middle T antigen (MT) interacts with several cellular proteins involved in cell proliferation. MT forms complexes with protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), pp60c-src (and the related kinases c-fyn and c-yes), and phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase. We made a single point mutation in MT, changing a conserved cysteine residue at position 120 to tryptophan, and characterized the biochemical and biological properties of the mutant (C120W) protein. The mutant MT protein does not associate with PP2A, pp60c-src, or phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase as judged by coimmunoprecipitation and associated phosphatase or kinase activity. The C120W mutant is defective in activation of c-fos expression and in morphological transformation of NIH 3T3 cells. 相似文献

The biological and biochemical properties of pp60c-src are regulated, in part, by phosphorylation at Tyr-416 and Tyr-527. The tyrosine kinase and transforming activities of pp60c-src are suppressed by phosphorylation at Tyr-527, whereas full activation of pp60c-src requires phosphorylation at Tyr-416. To test specifically the significance of the negatively charged phosphate moieties on these tyrosine residues, we have substituted the codons for both residues with codons for either Glu or Gln. A negatively charged Glu at position 527 was unable to mimic a phosphorylated Tyr at this position, and, in consequence, the mutated pp60c-src was activated and transforming. Similarly, substitution of Tyr-416 with Glu was unable to stimulate the activities of the enzyme. However, mutagenesis of Tyr-416 to Gln (to form the mutant 416Q) activated the kinase activity approximately twofold over that observed for wild-type pp60c-src. When introduced into the mutant 527F (containing Phe-527 instead of Tyr), the double mutant 416Q-527F exhibited weak transforming activity. This is in contrast to the other double mutants 416E-527F and 416F-527F, which were nontransforming. The biochemical basis by which 416Q activates pp60c-src is not understood but probably involves some local conformational perturbation. Deletion of residues 519 to 524 (RH5), a region previously shown to be necessary for association with middle-T antigen, led to loss of phosphorylation at Tyr-527 and activation of the enzymatic and focus-forming activities of pp60c-src. Hence, the sequences necessary for complex formation with middle-T antigen may also be required by the kinase(s) which phosphorylates Tyr-527 in vivo. This suggests that normal cells contain cellular proteins which are analogous to middle-T antigen and whose action regulates the activity of pp60c-src by controlling phosphorylation or dephosphorylation at residue 527. 相似文献

Middle T antigen (MT) of polyomavirus causes transformation by associating with a number of cellular proteins. The association with and activation of two such proteins, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) and pp60c-src, appears to be necessary for transformation by MT. The tyrosine kinase activity of MT-associated pp60c-src is significantly increased when assayed in vitro, and levels of phosphotyrosine-containing proteins are elevated in vivo. Similarly, levels of the PI 3-kinase products phosphatidylinositol-3,4-bisphosphate [PI(3,4)P2] and phosphatiylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate [PI(3,4,5)P3] are constitutively elevated in MT-transformed cells. However, the formation of a complete MT/cellular protein complex and the activation of tyrosine kinase are not sufficient to cause transformation, since the transformation-defective mutants 248m and dl1015 associate with all wild-type MT-associated proteins, including PI 3-kinase and pp60c-src, and neither mutant appears to be defective in MT-associated tyrosine kinase activity. Studies presented here compared (i) the amount of PI 3-kinase activity associated with the MT complex and (ii) levels of [3H]inositol incorporation into PI 3-kinase products in cells expressing mutant or wild-type MT. The results show that dl1015 is defective in both assays, whereas 248m is defective only for incorporation of [3H]inositol into PI(3,4,5)P2 and PI(3,4)P3. These findings identify a biochemical defect in the 248m mutant and corroborate previous results correlating transformation and elevated levels of PI 3-kinase products in vivo. In addition, they indicate that PI 3-kinase product levels are affected by factors other than simply the amount of PI 3-kinase activity associated with the MT complex. 相似文献

Enhancement of cellular src gene product associated tyrosyl kinase activity following polyoma virus infection and transformation 总被引:123,自引:0,他引:123
We examine the interaction between polyoma-virus-encoded middle tumor antigen and the cellular src gene product, pp60c-src, using a series of monoclonal antibodies that recognize mammalian pp60c-src. Our results show that infection of mouse cells with transformation-competent strains of polyoma virus results in the stimulation of pp60c-src kinase activity severalfold over that observed in uninfected mouse cells and mouse cells infected with transformation-deficient polyoma virus. A similar degree of enhancement of pp60c-src kinase activity was found in polyoma-virus-transformed rodent cells. No differences were detected in the level of pp60c-src synthesis in polyoma-virus-infected and uninfected mouse cells or polyoma-virus-transformed and normal rodent cells. These studies demonstrate that polyoma-virus-encoded middle tumor antigen is associated with pp60c-src in lysates of polyoma-virus-infected and polyoma-virus-transformed cells and suggest a novel mechanism for the functional activation of a cellular proto-oncogene product, namely, that the interaction between middle tumor antigen and pp60c-src leads to a stimulation of pp60c-src tyrosyl kinase activity. 相似文献

Middle-T antigen (middle-T), the transforming gene product of polyomavirus, associates with several cellular tyrosine kinases, such as pp60c-src. Complex formation leads to kinase activation and is essential for cell transformation. Middle-T-associated as well as uncomplexed pp60c-src is predominantly found in the plasma membrane. We transfected mouse 3T3 fibroblasts with a mutated c-src gene (2Ac-src), allowing the expression of a protein containing alanine instead of glycine in position 2 of the primary translation product. Contrary to the wild-type c-src gene product, pp60c-src(2A) was not myristylated and accumulated in the cytoplasm instead of being transferred to cellular membranes. The mutant protein was able to associate with middle-T and was activated similarly to the wild-type c-src gene product. Both wild-type and 2A mutant protein were membrane associated upon complex formation with middle-T. This finding suggests that the putative carboxy-terminal membrane anchor sequence of middle-T is sufficient to hold middle-T-associated pp60c-src(2A) in the plasma membrane. 相似文献

Cell transformation by pp60c-src mutated in the carboxy-terminal regulatory domain 总被引:111,自引:0,他引:111
We introduced two mutations into the carboxy-terminal regulatory region of chicken pp60c-src. One, F527, replaces tyrosine 527 with phenylalanine. The other, Am517, produces a truncated pp60c-src protein lacking the 17 carboxy-terminal amino acids. Both mutant proteins were phosphorylated at tyrosine 416 in vivo. The specific activity of the Am517 mutant protein kinase was similar to that of wild-type pp60c-src whereas that of the F527 mutant was 5- to 10-fold higher. Both mutant c-src genes induced focus formation on NIH 3T3 cells, but the foci appeared at lower frequency, and were smaller than foci induced by polyoma middle tumor antigen (mT). The wild-type or F527 pp60c-src formed a complex with mT, whereas the Am517 pp60c-src did not. The results suggest that one, inability to phosphorylate tyrosine 527 increases pp60c-src protein kinase activity and transforming ability; two, transformation by mT involves other events besides lack of phosphorylation at tyrosine 527 of pp60c-src; three, activation of the pp60c-src protein kinase may not be required for transformation by the Am517 mutant; and four, the carboxyl terminus of pp60c-src appears to be required for association with mT. 相似文献

The transforming protein of polyomavirus, middle T (mT), forms a complex with two cellular enzymes: the protein tyrosine kinase pp60c-src and a phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) 3-kinase. A mutant virus, Py1178T, encodes an mT protein which associates with and activates pp60c-src to the same extent as the wild type but fails to associate with PtdIns 3-kinase. To investigate relationships between activation of pp60c-src, association of PtdIns 3-kinase, and cellular levels of the second messenger inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3), we examined the effects of wild-type and mutant mT proteins on inositol metabolism in rat and mouse fibroblasts. Expression of either wild-type or 1178T mT caused a 300 to 500% increase in the InsP3 level. Cells transformed by Rous sarcoma virus also showed similar increases in InsP3 levels. Mutant mT proteins which failed to activate pp60c-src (NG59 and 1387T) had no effect on InsP3 levels. Pulse-chase experiments with [3H]inositol showed that the turnover of phosphoinositides was increased in cells transformed by either wild-type polyomavirus or Py1178T as compared with the normal parent cell line. The turnover of inositol phosphates was unchanged upon transformation. These data indicate that cells expressing either wild-type or mutant 1178T mT or pp60v-src exhibit elevated levels of InsP3 because of activation of phospholipase C. This activation appears to depend, directly or indirectly, upon activation of pp60src protein kinase activity. Activation of pp60c-src and elevation of InsP3 content are not sufficient for full transformation. Full transformation also requires the association of mT-pp60c-src complexes with PtdIns 3-kinase. 相似文献

An 81 kd protein complexed with middle T antigen and pp60c-src: a possible phosphatidylinositol kinase 总被引:76,自引:0,他引:76
It has previously been shown that a proportion of middle T antigen molecules exist in a stable complex with pp60c-src. Here we show that there appears to be a third component to the complex, a protein of molecular mass 81 kd (p81). p81 was phosphorylated exclusively on tyrosine residues in kinase assays performed using immunoprecipitates from polyoma virus-transformed cells and antibodies to both middle T and pp60c-src, and was also detected when immunoprecipitates were made from lysates of 32P-labeled cells. p81 was bound to middle T and pp60c-src in cell lines containing transforming mutants of middle T, but not (in phosphorylated form) to all nontransforming mutants. A parallel investigation of phosphatidylinositol kinase activity in immune complexes containing these middle T mutants revealed a complete coincidence between the presence of p81 and phosphatidylinositol kinase activity. We therefore suggest that p81 is a phosphatidylinositol kinase. 相似文献

We have studied phosphorylation carried out by purified plasma membranes from polyoma virus-infected cells. When isolated membranes are incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP, polyoma virus middle T antigen (mT) becomes phosphorylated on tyrosine. Partial proteolysis mapping shows the same pattern as previously noted for mT labeled in immune complexes. Membranes labeled in vitro were also extracted and immunoprecipitated with anti-T or anti-src antibody. With either antibody, both mT and pp60c-src were brought down and shown to be labeled on tyrosine. The mT of an hr-t mutant (NG59) showed only a trace amount of labeling in membranes under the same conditions. Proteins from infected and uninfected cell membranes labeled in vitro were separated on two-dimensional gels. An acidic 40-kd phosphoprotein was labeled in uninfected cell membranes, but was not seen using membranes from wild-type virus-infected cells. Neither NG59, which encodes a defective but membrane-associated mT, nor a mutant encoding a truncated mT that fails to associate with membranes, alters the level of the 40-kd phosphoprotein in membranes labeled in vitro. These results suggest that mT, acting through pp60c-src and possibly other cellular kinases and phosphatases, can affect cell protein phosphorylation as part of the transformation process. 相似文献

Polyomavirus middle T antigen (MT) is the major transforming protein of the virus. It functions through interactions with a number of cellular proteins involved in cell proliferation. MT forms complexes with protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), pp60c-src, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and Shc. We introduced both deletion and point mutations into three regions of MT and examined their ability to associate with PP2A and pp60c-src. The first 25 amino acid residues of MT are required for association with PP2A and pp60c-src. Amino acids 105 to 111, comprising the sequence Cys-Arg-Met-Pro-Leu-Thr-Cys, is also required for complex formation between MT and PP2A. However, the sequence Asp-Lys-Gly-Gly (amino acids 44 to 47), also found in the B subunit of PP2A, is dispensable for complex formation between MT and PP2A. We find a strict correlation between the ability of MT to associate with PP2A and the ability of MT to associate with pp60c-src. One mutant, L5E, associates with a phosphatase other than PP2A, pp60c-src, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase in a manner similar to that of wild-type MT yet is reduced in its transforming ability on NIH 3T3 cells. 相似文献

The polyoma middle tumor antigen (MTAg) associates with the src proto-oncogene product pp60c-src in infected or transformed rodent cells. The tyrosine protein kinase activity of pp60c-src, as measured by in vitro phosphorylation of pp60c-src itself or the exogenous substrate enolase, was increased 10- to 20-fold in cells transformed or infected with transformation-competent polyoma virus compared with controls. pp60c-src associated with MTAg and precipitated with polyoma antitumor serum had a novel site(s) of in vitro tyrosine phosphorylation within its amino-terminal domain. These observations suggest that association of MTAg with pp60c-src alters the accessibility of pp60c-src tyrosine residues for phosphorylation in vitro and increases pp60c-src protein kinase activity. Several transformation-defective mutants of MTAg did not cause amino-terminal tyrosine phosphorylation of pp60c-src in vitro or enhance its protein kinase activity, suggesting that these properties correlate with the transforming ability of MTAg. However, one transformation-defective MTAg mutant, dl1015, did cause amino-terminal tyrosine phosphorylation of pp60c-src in vitro and did enhance its protein kinase activity. This suggests that properties of MTAg, in addition to modifying the structure and function of pp60c-src, may be important for transformation. 相似文献

Two cellular proteins, 61 and 37 kDa, are found in association with the simian virus 40 (SV40) small-t antigen. Fractionation in standard chromatography systems showed that these proteins were associated with one another in uninfected cells, suggesting that the small-t antigen may bind the complex as a whole and not each individual protein independently. In the presence of N-ethylmaleimide, the 37-kDA protein was selectively released from immune complexes, leaving the small-t antigen and 61-kDa protein in association. This result suggests that the small-t antigen may bind only the 61-kDa protein and that the 37-kDa protein may be associated with immune complexes by virtue of its association with the 61-kDa cellular protein. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

Protein kinase C stimulation increases the transforming ability of the polyoma virus middle T antigen 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
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.

Phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6 is elevated in polyomavirus-infected cells. This elevation results only in part from activation of S6 kinase activity. These effects appear to reflect independent activities of wild-type middle T antigen. Hr-t mutant NG59, encoding a defective middle T protein, and mutant Py808A, encoding no middle T protein, were unable to induce S6 kinase activity or elevate S6 phosphorylation. Two other site-directed mutants encoding altered middle T proteins did elevate S6 phosphorylation while only weakly stimulating S6 kinase activity. These results suggest at least two independent pathways leading to elevation of S6 phosphorylation. One pathway leads to induction of S6 kinase activity following activation of pp60c-src by transformation-competent middle T antigen. Another pathway operates independently of S6 kinase induction and can be regulated by transformation-defective middle T mutants such as Py1387T. This mutant, encoding a truncated middle T protein that failed to associate with the plasma membrane and to activate pp60c-src, caused increased levels of S6 phosphorylation without detectably increasing S6 kinase activity. The ability of mutants such as Py1387T to induce S6 phosphorylation correlated with their ability to increase phosphorylation of VP1, an event linked to maturation of infectious virions. 相似文献

To examine how amino acid sequences outside of the catalytic domain of pp60c-src influence the functional activity of this protein, we have introduced deletion mutations within the amino-terminal half of pp60c-src. These mutations caused distinct changes in the biochemical properties of the c-src gene products and in the properties of cells infected with retroviruses carrying these mutant c-src genes. Cells expressing the c-srcNX protein, which contains a deletion of amino acids 15 to 89, displayed a refractile, spindle-shaped morphology, formed intermediate-sized, tightly packed colonies in soft agar, and contained elevated levels of cellular phosphotyrosine-containing proteins. Thus, deletion of amino acids 15 to 89 can activate the kinase activity and transforming potential of the c-src gene product. Deletion of amino acids 112 to 225, however, did not increase the kinase activity or transforming ability of pp60c-src; indeed, deletion of these sequences in c-srcHP suppressed phenotypic alterations induced by pp60c-src. Cells expressing the c-srcNP or c-srcBS gene products (containing deletions of amino acids 15 to 225 and 55 to 169, respectively) displayed a fusiform, refractile morphology and formed diffuse colonies in soft agar; the mutant proteins displayed an increased in vitro protein-tyrosine kinase activity. However, only a few cellular proteins contained elevated levels of phosphotyrosine in vivo. Thus, deletions downstream of amino acid 89 severely restricted the ability of c-src to phosphorylate cellular substrates in vivo without affecting the intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity of the c-src gene product. These results suggest the existence of at least two modulatory regions within the amino-terminal half of pp60c-src that are important for the regulation of tyrosine kinase activity and for the interaction of pp60c-src with cellular substrates. 相似文献

Recombinant adenoviruses bearing the avian c-src gene and polyomavirus middle-T-antigen gene were isolated and used to simultaneously overexpress both proteins in human 293 cells. Cells overexpressing both proteins had greater middle-T-antigen-associated tyrosine kinase activity than cells overexpressing only middle T antigen. By contrast, the intrinsic pp60c-src tyrosine kinase activity was not greater in cells overexpressing both proteins than in cells overexpressing only pp60c-src. This system of simultaneous overexpression provides a means of obtaining large quantities of pp60c-src, middle T antigen, and the complex between them. 相似文献

In polyomavirus-transformed cells, pp60c-src is activated by association with polyomavirus middle T antigen. These complexes have a higher tyrosine kinase activity compared with that of unassociated pp60c-src. Genetic analyses have revealed that the carboxy-terminal 15 amino acids of pp60c-src and the amino-terminal half of middle T antigen are required for this association and consequent activation of the tyrosine kinase. To define in greater detail the borders of the domain in middle T antigen required for activation of pp60c-src, we constructed a set of unidirectional amino-terminal deletion mutants of middle T antigen. Analysis of these mutants revealed that the first six amino acids of middle T antigen are required for it to activate the kinase activity of pp60c-src and to transform Rat-1 fibroblasts. Analysis of a series of insertion and substitution mutants confirmed these observations and further revealed that mutations affecting the first four amino acids of middle T antigen reduced or abolished its capacity to activate the kinase activity of pp60c-src and to transform Rat-1 cells in culture. Our results suggest that the first four amino acids of middle T antigen constitute part of a domain required for activation of the pp60c-src tyrosyl kinase activity and for consequent cellular transformation. 相似文献
