Expression of 9E3 mRNA is associated with mitogenicity, phosphorylation, and morphological alteration in chicken embryo fibroblasts.
Transformation of chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF) with viruses encoding src, ros, yes, and fps as well as ras, mos, middle T, erbA and erbB, myc, and crk stimulated 9E3 mRNA expression. Treatment of CEF with agents that modulate cell shape or attachment to the substratum caused an increase in 9E3 mRNA without an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation. 9E3 mRNA was also increased in CEF in response to several agents which modulate phosphorylation, including phorbol myristic acetate, vanadate, and okadaic acid, which suggests that the rapid induction of 9E3 mRNA expression in CEF by the src protein occurs downstream of morphological or phosphorylation events.
