N-terminal deletions in Rous sarcoma virus p60src: effects on tyrosine kinase and biological activities and on recombination in tissue culture with the cellular src gene.

F R Cross, E A Garber and H Hanafusa

ABSTRACT

We have constructed deletions within the region of cloned Rous sarcoma virus DNA coding for the N-terminal 30 kilodaltons of p60src. Infectious virus was recovered after transfection. Deletions of amino acids 15 to 149, 15 to 169, or 149 to 169 attenuated but did not abolish transforming activity, as assayed by focus formation and anchorage-independent growth. These deletions also had only slight effects on the tyrosine kinase activity of the mutant src protein. Deletion of amino acids 169 to 264 or 15 to 264 completely abolished transforming activity, and src kinase activity was reduced at least 10-fold. However, these mutant viruses generated low levels of transforming virus by recombination with the cellular src gene. The results suggest that as well as previously identified functional domains for p60src myristylation and membrane binding (amino acids 1 to 14) and tyrosine kinase activity (amino acids 250 to 526), additional N-terminal sequences (particularly amino acids 82 to 169) can influence the transforming activity of the src protein.
