Phosphatidylinositol kinase activities in normal and Rous sarcoma virus-transformed cells.

RESUMO

The phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP), and diacylglycerol kinase activities in the plasma membrane-rich fraction of chicken embryo fibroblasts infected with a temperature-sensitive mutant of Rous sarcoma virus increased when the cells were shifted from the nonpermissive temperature, 41 degrees C, to the permissive temperature, 35 degrees C. Temperature shift from 35 to 41 degrees C decreased the lipid kinase activities in the membrane vesicles. These changes accompanied the changes observed in pp60v-src protein kinase activity. Thermal inactivation at 41 degrees C did not appreciably reduce PI and PIP kinase activities in membrane vesicles prepared from uninfected or Rous sarcoma virus-transformed cells, whereas pp60v-src protein kinase activity in the membrane vesicles was rapidly inactivated under the same conditions. These data suggest that pp60v-src may indirectly enhance PI and PIP phosphorylation but not directly contribute to this pathway.
