title: Immunological study of a cellular 35K phosphorylated polypeptide detected in Rous sarcoma virus transformed cells.
abstract: We have immunoprecipitated a phosphoprotein of 35K daltons (35K) common to RSV-transformed chick embryo fibroblasts (CEF) and rodent cells. The phosphorylation of this antigen depends on the expression of the v-src gene and contains phosphotyrosine. The pre-existing 35K protein, of CEF infected de novo, was further shown to become phosphorylated shortly after the appearance of active pp60v-src, and about 1 day before morphological transformation. The experiments with RSV-transformed rodent cells have shown that the 35K phosphoprotein is associated with the cellular framework. Another phosphoprotein of 37K was found in the RSV-transformed rodent cells, but not in the transformed CEF. However, this protein was not phosphorylated at tyrosine residues and its phosphorylation persisted, at the restrictive temperature, in cells transformed by a ts mutant of RSV.
