RESUMO
The transforming protein of Rous sarcoma virus, pp60v-src, is known to be a tyrosine protein kinase, but the mechanism of cell transformation remains unclear. In further investigating pp60v-src structure and function, we have analyzed two temperature-sensitive (ts) Rous sarcoma virus src gene mutants, tsLA29 and tsLA32. The mutations in tsLA29 and tsLA32 map in the carboxy-terminal region and the amino-terminal half of pp60v-src, respectively, and encode mutant proteins with either temperature-labile (tsLA29) or -stable (tsLA32) kinase activities. Here we examined the intracellular processing and localization of these pp60v-src mutants and extended our characterization of transformation parameters expressed by cells infected by the Rous sarcoma virus variants. No obvious defects in functional integrity of the tsLA32 pp60v-src could yet be demonstrated, whereas the tsLA29 pp60v-src was perturbed not only in kinase activity, but also in aspects of protein processing and localization. Analysis of transformation parameters expressed by infected cells demonstrated the complete temperature lability of both mutants.
