RESUMO
Site-directed mutagenesis of the Fujinami sarcoma virus (FSV) genome has suggested that Tyr 1073 of the P130gag--fps protein-tyrosine kinase is a regulatory site. To investigate directly the ability of tyrosine phosphorylation to affect P130gag--fps kinase activity, the phosphotyrosyl phosphatase inhibitor orthovanadate and partially purified phosphotyrosyl phosphatases were used to manipulate the stoichiometry of P130gag--fps phosphorylation. Phosphorylation of P130gag--fps at Tyr 1073 correlated with enhanced kinase activity. The thermolabile phosphorylation, kinase activity and transforming ability of P140gag--fps encoded by a temperature-sensitive (ts)FSV variant were restored at the non-permissive temperature for transformation by incubation of infected cells with orthovanadate. In this case tyrosine phosphorylation can apparently functionally reactivate a conditionally defective v-fps kinase activity. These data suggest that reversible autophosphorylation at a conserved tyrosine within the v-fps kinase domain is a positive regulator of enzymatic activity and biological function. Phenotypic suppression of the tsFSV genetic defect by orthovanadate emphasizes the potential importance of phosphotyrosyl phosphatases in antagonizing tyrosine kinase action. It is suggested that autophosphorylation may constitute a molecular switch by which some protein-tyrosine kinases are activated.
