Increased phosphorylation of a specific protein in mitogen-stimulated lymphocytes.
The phosphorylation of proteins from murine splenic lymphocytes was studied. When the phosphorylation of proteins in extracts from Concanavalin A (ConA)-treated lymphocytes was compared with that of resting lymphocytes, there was only one detectable difference between them. A protein of 135,000 mol. wt was highly phosphorylatable in extracts from ConA-treated cells while phosphate incorporation into this protein was slight in extracts from untreated cells. This effect could be observed 12 h after ConA treatment and was maximal during S phase. This soluble protein was also phosphorylated in intact lymphocytes.
