title: Novel characteristics of a 33KDa protein (pp33) rapidly phosphorylated in IL3 dependent cells by stimulation with IL3.
abstract: We report the novel properties of a 33 KDa cellular protein rapidly phosphorylated by stimulation of growth by IL3 in IL3 dependent lines. Although pp33 is readily soluble in SDS, SDS-solubilised pp33 is insoluble in non-ionic detergents and is excluded from electrophoretic analysis (IEF, NEPHGE) employing such detergents. Native pp33 is not extracted by non-ionic detergents with or without cation chelation. pp33 is concentrated in a cell fraction containing endoplasmic reticulum where it is associated with a specific trypsin-sensitive degredative enzyme, active at 4 degrees. Its unusual characteristics and kinetics of phosphorylation suggest pp33 may be a novel molecule, explain its absence in studies elsewhere where non-ionic detergent extraction has been exclusively used and suggest it is intimately related to the signal transduced by IL3.
