Ubiquitin metabolism in ts85 cells, a mouse carcinoma line that contains a thermolabile ubiquitin activating enzyme

Red blood cell-mediated microinjection was used to introduce radioiodinated ubiquitin into ts85 cells, a mouse cell line that contains a thermolabile ubiquitin-activating enzyme (E1). The proportion of ubiquitin present as histone conjugates, high molecular weight conjugates, and free molecules was then determined by gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. When ts85 cells were incubated at the nonpermissive temperature, 39.5 degrees C, high molecular weight conjugates accumulated. This unexpected result was confirmed by Western blot analyses. To determine whether ubiquitin conjugates formed under nonpermissive conditions or merely persisted after the temperature increase, ts85 cells were incubated at 39.5 degrees C to generate large amounts of conjugates and then shifted to 42 degrees C. The higher temperature resulted in a 25% reduction in conjugates, but upon return to 39.5 degrees C, the ubiquitin conjugates were restored to pre-42 degrees C amounts. Since all changes in ubiquitin conjugate levels occurred above 39.5 degrees C, ts85 cells can couple ubiquitin to cellular proteins even after prolonged culture at nonpermissive temperatures. Western blot analyses showed that less than 10% of the E1 molecules present in ts85 cells at 31 degrees C remained after 2 h at 39.5 degrees C. However, when 125I-ubiquitin was added to extracts from heated ts85 cells an apparent high molecular weight form of E1 and thiol ester adducts between ubiquitin and the E2 carrier proteins were detected by electrophoresis at 4 degrees C. Considering both in vivo and in vitro demonstrations that heated ts85 cells retain the ability to conjugate ubiquitin to endogenous proteins, considerable caution must be exercised in the design and interpretation of proteolysis experiments using this mutant cell line.     

A selective temperature-sensitive defect in viral RNA expression in cells infected with a ts transformation mutant of murine sarcoma virus

We investigated the nature of the defect in the temperature-sensitive mutant of Moloney murine sarcoma virus (Mo-MuSV), termed ts110. This mutant has a temperature-sensitive defect in a function required for maintenance of the transformed state. A nonproducer cell clone, 6m2, infected with ts110 expresses P85 and P58 at 33°C, the transformed temperature, but only P58 is detected at the restrictive temperature of 39°C. Shift-up (33°C → 39°C) and in vitro experiments have established that P85 is not thermolabile for immunoprecipitation. Previous temperature-shift experiments (39°C → 33°C) have shown that P85 synthesis resumes after a 2–3 hr lag period. Temperature shifts (39°C → 33°C) performed in the presence of actinomycin D prevented the synthesis of P85, whereas P58 synthesis did not decline for 5 hr, suggesting that P58 and P85 are translated from different mRNAs. The shift-up experiments also indicated that, once made, the RNA coding for P85 can function at the restrictive temperature for several hours. MuSV-ts110-infected cells superinfected with Mo-MuLV produced a ts110 MuSV-MuLV mixture. Sucrose gradient analysis of virus subunit RNAs revealed a ～28S and a ～35S peak. Electrophoresis of the ～28S poly(A)-containing RNA from ts110 virus in methyl mercuric hydroxide gels resolved two RNAs with estimated sizes of 1.9 × 10⁶ and 1.6 × 10⁶ daltons, both smaller than the wild type MuSV-349 genomic RNA (2.2 × 10⁶ daltons). RNA in the ～28S size class from virus preparations harvested at 33°C was found to translate from P85 and P58, whereas, the ～35S RNA yielded helper virus Pr63^gag. In contrast, virus harvested at 39°C was deficient in P85 coding RNA only. Peptide mapping experiments indicate that P85 contains P23 sequences, a candidate Moloney mouse sarcoma virus src gene product. Taken together, these results suggest that two virus-specific RNAs are present in ts 110-infected 6m2 cells and rescued ts110 pseudotype virions at 33°C, one coding for P85, whose expression can be interfered with by shifting the culture to 39°C; the other coding for P58, whose expression is unaffected by temperature shifts. P85 is a candidate gag-src fusion protein, while P58 contains gag sequences only.     

Biosynthesis of plasma membrane components by SV40-virus-transformed 3T3 mouse cells temperature sensitive for expression of some transformed cell properties

We have studied the plasma membranes of an SV40-transformed 3T3 cell line temperature sensitive for the transformed growth phenotype (ts H6-15 cells), and have found that they vary little as a function of temperature of cultivation. Analysis by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was performed on plasma membranes prepared from ts H6-15 cell cultured at the permissive (32 °C) and non-permissive (39 °C) temperatures and radioactively-labelled in several ways. No significant differences were seen when the electrophoretic patterns of polypeptides of the plasma membranes of ts H6-15 cells, grown through 3–4 generations in medium containing radioactive leucine (32 °C and 39 °C temperatures) were compared. Plasma membranes derived from cells similarly grown in medium with radioactive glucosamine indicated that extensive alterations in the intrinsic glycopeptides occurred in association with alteration in growth phenotype. A shift towards decreased synthesis of large molecular weight (? 100 000–160 000) glycopeptides occurred in cells grown at the temperature of non-transformed growtn (39 °C). A decrease in amount of a 1200 000 molecular weight glycopeptide at 39 °C was the most prominent of these alterations.We have studied the surface exposure of polypeptides and glycopeptides of intact cells grown at 32 and 39 °C, using lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination, NaBH₄ reduction of galactose oxidase-treated cells, and metabolic-labelling with glucosamine of trypsin-sensitive molecules. We found no major qualitative differences between whole cell extracts or between plasma membrane preparations of cells cultivated at the permissive and non-permissive temperatures. Of special interest was the observation that the formation and surface exposure of a trypsin-sensitive, 240 000 molecular weight polypeptide appeared not to be ts in ts H6-15 cells. The significance of these observations will be discussed.     

Isolation of temperature-sensitive mutants from murine leukemic cells (L5178Y)

Two temperature-sensitive mutants (ts1 and ts3) have been isolated from murine leukemic cells, L5178Y, after mutagenesis and cytosine arabinoside selection. Both ts1 and ts3 grew normally at the permissive temperature (33 °C) but not at the non-permissive temperature (39 °C). Consistent results were obtained with the growth patterns in suspension culture as well as the plating efficiencies in soft agar. Temperature shift experiments showed that the mutant cells remained viable after extended exposure to the non-permissive temperature. Labeling studies with radioactive precursors indicated that the synthesis of DNA, but not of RNA or protein, was affected in these mutants at 39 °C. The defective function of ts3 cells was substantially corrected by supplementing alanine, hypoxanthine, and pyruvate.     

Biosynthesis of plasma membrane components by SV40-virus-transformed 3T3 mouse cells temperature sensitive for expression of some transformed cell properties.

A shift towards decreased synthesis of large molecular weight (congruent to 100 000-160 000) glycopeptides occurred in cells grown at the temperature of non-transformed growth (39 degrees C). A decrease in amount of a 120 000 molecular weight glycopeptide at 39 degrees C was the most prominent of these alterations.

Temperature-dependent transmembrane potential changes in cells infected with a temperature-sensitive moloney sarcoma virus

Normal rat kidney cells (NRK) infected with the temperature-sensitive (ts) transformation mutant of Moloney murine sarcoma virus yielded a clone of cells, 6m2, that exhibited a transformed morphology at 33°C and a normal morphology at 39°C. Transmembrane potential (Em) was measured fluorometrically using a cyanine dye diS-C₃-(5). Fluorescence was inversely correlated with Em. Cells at 33°C had lower Em. Em changes were recorded within 15 minutes of temperature shift from 33°C to 39°C in both directions, increasing in the 33°C to 39°C direction and decreasing in the 39°C to 33°C direction. Uninfected NRK cells when shifted under the same condition exhibited small fluorescence changes in the 33°C to 39°C direction. Shifting from 39°C to 33°C resulted in Em changes similar to those in 6m2 cells. Also studied was a cell line infected with a spontaneous revertant of the ts mutant, designated 54-5A4; it was transformed at both temperatures. Shifting from 33°C to 39°C in both directions yielded small changes. Transmembrane potential changes in 6m2 cells precede other transformation-specific changes that occur after a temperature shift.     

Heat shock induced proteins in plant cells

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) and soybean (Glycine max) tissue culture cells were exposed to a heat shock and protein synthesis studied by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis after labeling with radioactive amino acids. A new pattern of protein synthesis is observed in heat-shocked cells compared to that in control cells. About 12 protein bands, some newly appearing, others synthesized in greatly increased quantities in heat-shock cells, are seen. Several of the heat-shock proteins (HSPs) in both tobacco and soybean are similar in size. One of the HSPs in soybean (76K) shares peptide homology with its presumptive 25°C counterpart, indicating that the synthesis of at least some HSPs may not be due to activation of new genes. The optimum temperature for maximal induction of most HSPs is 39–40°C. Total protein synthesis decreases as heat-shock temperature is increased and is barely detectable at 45°C. The heat-shock response is maintained for a relatively short time in tobacco cells. After 3 hr at 39°C, a decrease is seen in the synthesis of the HSPs, and after 4 hr practically no HSPs are synthesized. After exposure to 39°C for 1 hr, followed by a return of tobacco cells to 26°C, recovery to the control pattern of synthesis requires greater than 6 hours. These results indicate that cells of flowering plants exhibit a heat-shock response similar to that observed in animal cells.     

A 2H-NMR study of Acholeplasma laidlawii membranes highly enriched in myristic acid

Myristic acid specifically deuterated at several positions along the acyl chain was biosynthetically incorporated into the membrane lipids of Acholeplasma laidlawii B to the level of ?90%. ²H-NMR was used to study the molecular order and lipid phase composition of the membranes as a function of temperature. Isolated membranes and intact cells give rise to similar ²H spectra. Below 25°C the spectra exhibit a broad gel phase component which at 0°C reaches the rigid limit value expected for an immobilized methylene group. Spectral moments were used to determine the relative amounts of gel and liquid crystalline phase lipids throughout the gel-liquid crystal phase transition. The results indicate that at the growth temperature (37 or 30°C) the A. laidlawii B membrane lipids are ～85–90% in the gel state, and that protein has little effect on lipid order of the liquid crystalline lipid, but leads to an increase in the linewidth by approx. 20%.     

Extracellular Phytase (E. C. 3.1.3.8) from Aspergillus Ficuum NRRL 3135: Purification and Characterization

Extracellular phytase from Aspergillus ficuum, a glycoprotein, was purified to homogeneity in 3 column chromatographic steps using ion exchange and chromatofocusing. Results of gel filtration chromatography and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated the approximate molecular weight of the native protein to be 85–100-KDa. On the basis of a molecular weight of 85–KDa, the molar extinction coefficient of the enzyme at 280 nm was estimated to be 1.2 × 10⁴ M-l cm-1. The isoelectric point of the enzyme, as deduced by chromatofocusing, was about 4.5. The purified enzyme is remarkably stable at 0°C. Thermal inactivation studies have shown that the enzyme retained 40% of its activity after being subjected to 68°C for 10 minutes, and the enzyme exhibited a broad temperature optimum with maximum catalytic activity at 58°C. The Km of the enzyme for phytate and p-nitrophenylphosphate is about 40 uM and 265 uM, respectively, with an estimated turnover number of the enzyme for phytate of 220 per sec. Enzymatic deglycosylation of phytase by Endoglycosidase H lowered the molecular weight of native enzyme from 85–100-KDa to about 76–KDa; the digested phytase still retained some carbohydrate as judged by positive periodic acid-Schiff reagent staining of the electrophoresed protein. Immunoblotting of the phytase with monoclonal antibody 7H10 raised against purified native enzyme recognized not only native but also partially deglycosylated protein.     

Adenovirus core protein synthesis in the absence of viral DNA synthesis late in infection.

The acid extraction of the adenovirus type 5 core proteins V, VII, and pVII (the precursor to VII) from infected cells and the subsequent electrophoresis on a 15% acrylamide-2.5 M urea-0.9 N acetic acid (pH 2.7) gel, revealed that peptide VII has a similar electrophoretic mobility to that of histone H1. The core proteins, which are coded by late adenovirus mRNA, continued to be synthesized late in infection when viral DNA synthesis was inhibited either by cytosine arabinoside in wild-type infections or by shifting adenovirus H5 ts 125-infected cells to the nonpermissive temperature (40 degree C). Only the initiation, not the continuation, of viral DNA replication was essential for core protein synthesis. The synthesis of viral core proteins continued for over 8 h after the cassation of DNA synthesis. This was in contrast to the rapid shutdown of cellular histone synthesis in the absence of cellular DNA synthesis.     

A temperature-sensitive mutant of cultured mouse cells defective in chromosome condensation

A temperature-sensitive mutant, designated ts85, was isolated from a mouse mammary carcinoma cell line, FM3A. The ts85 cells grew at 33 °C (permissive temperature) with a doubling time of 18 h, which was almost the same as with wild-type cells, whereas the cell number scarcely increased at all at 39 °C (non-permissive temperature). When the ts85 cells were shifted from 33 to 39 °C, their DNA synthesis fell to below 1% of the initial value in 14 h. RNA or protein synthesis, however, was maintained at the initial levels for at least 14 h at 39 °C. Cytofluorometric analysis of asynchronous cultures and studies with synchronous cultures suggested that the bulk of the cells cultured at 39 °C for 12–18 h were arrested in late S and G2 phases. Electron microscopic observations revealed that chromatin was abnormally condensed into fragmented and compact forms, particularly around nucleoli, in about 80% of cells of an asynchronous culture incubated at 39 °C for 16 h. Cells in mitosis were not detected in such cultures and nuclear membrane and nucleoli were still intact. Such abnormal chromosome condensation was not observed in the ts85 cells at 33 °C or in wild-type cells at either temperature. Since these findings suggest that a ts gene product of ts85 cells is necessary for chromosome condensation, ts85 cells may represent a useful tool for establishing the mechanisms of chromosome condensation. The interrelationship between abnormal chromosome condensation and reduction in DNA synthesis of the ts85 cells is discussed.     

Replication of a mammalian genome: the role of de novo protein biosynthesis during S phase

ts14 is a temperature-sensitive Chinese hamster lung cell mutant that ceases protein biosynthesis within a short time of transfer to nonpermissive temperature (Haralson and Roufa, 1975; Roufa and Haralson, 1975; Roufa and Reed, 1975). This mutant contains a revertible, presumably a point mutation that renders its 60S ribosomal subunit thermolabile (Haralson and Roufa, 1975). In this report, we describe the relationship between the conditional ability of ts14 to synthesize protein during S phase and the replication of its DNA.After transfer to nonpermissive temperature (39°C), where ts14 synthesizes protein at a rate approximately 20 fold less than wild-type cells, synchronous cultures of the mutant performed all the processes required for replication of their DNA. During prolonged incubations at nonpermissive temperature, S phase ts14 completed approximately one round of DNA replication semi-conservatively as judged by density-transfer experiments. Pulse-labeling experiments performed on S phase cells revealed that ts14 synthesized the intermediates of discontinuous DNA replication at nonpermissive and permissive temperatures at similar rates. In these tests, the mutant was not substantially different from wild-type at both culture temperatures. At the nonpermissive temperature, however, ts14 synthesized significantly less nuclear protein (that is, histone) than did wild-type cells, and the mutant's chromatin appeared deficient in histone by virtue of its increased sensitivity to nuclease.     

Isolation and analysis of a mammalian temperature-sensitive mutant defective in G2 functions

A temperature-sensitive (ts) mutant, designated tsFT210, was isolated from a mouse mammary carcinoma cell line, FM3A. The tsFT210 cells grew normally at 33 degrees C (permissive temperature), but more than 80% of the cells were arrested at the G2 phase at 39 degrees C (non-permissive temperature) as revealed by flow-microfluorimetric analysis. DNA replication and synthesis of other macromolecules by this mutant seemed to be normal at 39 degrees C for at least 10 h. However, in this mutant, hyperphosphorylation of H1 histone from the G2 to M phase, which occurs in the normal cell cycle, could not be detected at the non-permissive temperature. This suggests that a gene product which is temperature-sensitive in tsFT210 cells is necessary for hyperphosphorylation of H1 histone and that this gene product may be related to chromosome condensation.     

Conditionally lethal mutations in Chinese hamster cells. I. Isolation of a temperature-sensitive line and its investigation by cell cycle studies

The isolation of a temperature sensitive cell line from the Chinese hamster line CCL39 of the American Type Culture Collection is described. At the nonpermissive temperature (39°C) the cells become attached to the surface of tissue culture dishes, but no microscopically observable colonies are formed upon prolonged incubation. Exposure to the high temperature for more than 24 hours leads to an almost complete loss in viability. A karyotypic analysis showed that this new line has lost one of the medium-sized metacentric chromosomes, although no proof is available so far to show that this loss is not simply coincidental. In nonsynchronized cultures transferred to 39°C DNA synthesis stops first, RNA synthesis shortly thereafter, while protein synthesis (turnover) continues for a longer time. After such a shift the cell number increases by less than 15% as measured with the Coulter counter. Studies with synchronized cultures give the following results: (1) one round of DNA synthesis can occur at 39°C when the cells are released from serum starvation or a hydroxyurea block, or when mitotic cells are placed at 39°C; (2) the entry of cells into metaphase of mitosis at 39°C is almost normal when the preceding time interval at 39°C is only eight hours (release of cells from G₁/S boundary), but considerably reduced when the cells spend an additional 12 to 15 hours at 39°C in G₁ (release from serum starvation). Infection by SV40 virus temporarily induces DNA synthesis after it has come to a stop at the nonpermissive temperature, but cells permanently transformed by SV40 still exhibit the temperature-sensitive phenotype.     

Retransformation of ts SV40 Transformants by Murine Sarcoma Virus at Non-permissive Temperature

Temperature sensitive (ts) SV40 transformed mouse fibroblasts (tsSV3T3) express their transformed phenotype in vitro when growing at 32° C but not when growing at 39° C¹. Viral mRNA is, however, apparently transcribed at 39° C, for SV40 specific T-antigen can be demonstrated and viral mRNA can be found by nucleic acid hybridization: Fusion-rescue experiments show that the transforming virus is wild type but tsSV3T3 cells cannot be re-transformed at 39° C with high multiplicity SV40. This suggests that the temperature sensitive behaviour stems from a cellular rather than a viral mutation. The question then arises of the stringency with which these ts transformants control the expression of viral transformation functions at 39° C.     

Protease of adenovirus type 2. In vitro processing of core protein

Protease activity associated with temperature sensitive mutant ts3 of adenovirus type 2 was studied. This activity was induced only when ts3 was propagated at 33°C. By $\text{in vivo}$ and $\text{in vitro}$ experiments the enzyme was found to cleave main core polypeptide PVII to VII. Using sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the protease activity of ts3 was partially characterized. Phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (1mM) and SDS (0.5%) inhibited its activity completely. EDTA (10 mM) did not seem to inhibit its activity. Protease activity was completely abolished after 10 min. of incubation at 60°C. Autocatalytic cleavage of PVII to VII was not observed.     

Expression of histone genes in a G1-specific temperature-sensitive mutant of the cell cycle

The expression of genes coding for the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) was studied in tsAF8 cells. These baby hamster kidney-derived cells are a temperature-sensitive (ts) mutant of the cell cycle that arrest in G1 at the restrictive temperature. When serum-deprived tsAF8 cells are stimulated with serum, they enter the S phase at the permissive temperature of 34 degrees C, but are blocked in G1 at the nonpermissive temperature of 39.6 degrees C. Northern blot analysis using cloned human histone DNA probes detected only very low levels of histone RNA either in quiescent tsAF8 cells or in cells serum stimulated at the nonpermissive temperature for 24 h. Cellular levels of histone RNA were markedly increased in cells serum stimulated at 34 degrees C for 24 h. Temperature shift-up experiments after serum stimulation of quiescent populations showed that the amount of histone RNA was related to the number of cells that entered the S phase. Those cells that synthesized histone RNA and entered the S phase were capable of dividing. This is the first demonstration in a mammalian G1-specific ts mutant that the expression of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 histone genes depends on the entry of cells into the S phase of the cell cycle.     

Relationship between thermal tolerance and protein degradation in temperature-sensitive mouse cells.

The induction of thermotolerance was studied in a temperature sensitive mouse cell line, ts85, and results were compared with those for the wild-type FM3A cells. At the nonpermissive temperature of 39 degrees C, ts85 cells are defective in the degradation of short-lived abnormal proteins, apparently because of loss of activity of a ubiquitin-activating enzyme. The failure of the ts85 cells to develop thermotolerance to 41-43 degrees C after incubation at the nonpermissive temperature of 39 degrees C correlated with the failure of the cells to degrade short-lived abnormal proteins at 39 degrees C. However, the failure of the ts85 cells to develop thermotolerance to 43 degrees C during incubation at 33 degrees C after either arsenite treatment or heating at 45.5 degrees C for 6 or 10 min did not correlate with protein degradation rates. Although the rate of degrading abnormal protein was reduced after heating at 45.5 degrees C for 10 min, the rates were normal after arsenite treatment or heating at 45.5 degrees C for 6 min. In addition, when protein synthesis was inhibited with cycloheximide both during incubation at 33 degrees C or 39 degrees C and during heating at 41-43 degrees C, resistance to heating was observed, but protein degradation rates at 39 degrees C or 43 degrees C were not altered by the cycloheximide treatment. Therefore, there is apparently no consistent relationship between rates of degrading abnormal proteins and the ability of cells to develop thermotolerance and resistance to heating in the presence of cycloheximide.     

Uukuniemi virus glycoproteins accumulate in and cause morphological changes of the Golgi complex in the absence of virus maturation.

We have studied the transport of the Uukuniemi virus membrane glycoproteins in baby hamster kidney and chick embryo cells by using a temperature-sensitive mutant (ts12). Uukuniemi virus assembles in the Golgi complex, where both glycoproteins G1 and G2 and nucleocapsid protein N accumulate (E. Kuismanen, B. B?ng, M. Hurme, and R. F. Pettersson, J. Virol. 51:137-146, 1984). At the restrictive temperature (39 degrees C), the glycoproteins of ts12 were transported to the Golgi complex as in wild-type, virus-infected cells, whereas the nucleocapsid protein failed to accumulate there. Pulse-chase labeling followed by immunoprecipitation and treatment with endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H showed that G1 synthesized at 39 degrees C in ts12-infected cells had an altered mobility in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, suggesting a lack of terminal glycosylation. The typical Uukuniemi virus-induced vacuolization and expansion of the Golgi complex could be seen also in ts12-infected cells at 39 degrees C, although no virus particles were formed. This suggests that the morphological changes were induced by the Uukuniemi virus glycoproteins. In wild-type virus- or ts12-infected cells, G1 and G2 could not be chased out from the Golgi complex even after 6 h of treatment with cycloheximide. The glycoproteins were thus retained in the Golgi even under conditions when no virus maturation took place and when nucleocapsids did not accumulate in the Golgi region. Accordingly, the glycoproteins of Uukuniemi virus were found to have properties resembling those of Golgi-specific proteins. This virus model system may be useful in studying the synthesis and transport of membrane proteins that are transported to and retained in the Golgi.
