Level Of Aggregation

Aggregation capacity of chicken embryo chondrocytes decreases when transformed by Rous sarcoma viruses. Cell-to-cell aggregation capacity of chondrocytes infected with a T class temperature-sensitive mutant (tsNY68) (with the temperature-sensitive lesion at the src gene) of Rous sarcoma virus is dependent upon the temperature at which these cells are grown. When grown at the permissive temperature (36 degrees C), where the transforming gene is expressed, aggregation capacity was lower than normal while infected cells grown at the non-permissive temperature (41.5 degrees C) had similar capacity to aggregate to that of normal chondrocytes. However, after a prolonged period of culture (10 days), chondrocytes transformed by wild type SR-RSV regained the normal level of aggregation capacity. Cells transformed by tsNY68 and incubated at the permissive temperature for 10 days also regained the normal level of aggregation capacity. It appears therefore that RSV-transformed chondrocytes first become less adhesive but during long-term cultivation they regain their property to aggregate. The decrease of aggregation capacity due to T class mutants of RSV at 36 degrees C is dependent on constant maintenance of protein synthesis because addition of cycloheximide restored the aggregation capacity even at the permissive temperature.

In Cells

The cytoskeletal protein talin was found to undergo enhanced phosphorylation at tyrosine residues in chicken embryo fibroblasts following transformation by Rous sarcoma virus. An increase in the tyrosine phosphorylation of talin was also observed within 6 h in cells infected by the temperature-sensitive mutant tsNY68 after a shift from the nonpermissive to the permissive temperature. The overall extent of phosphorylation was 0.07 mol of phosphate per mol of talin and was not appreciably altered by transformation. In uninfected cells talin was shown to be phosphorylated at multiple sites by tryptic peptide mapping. Following transformation most of these sites remained phosphorylated, to the same or to a lesser extent, while novel, phosphotyrosine-containing phosphopeptides appeared. Talin was phosphorylated at tyrosine in cells infected by Rous sarcoma virus mutants which induce altered or partial transformation morphologies; thus the increased phosphorylation of talin at tyrosine occurred irrespective of the morphology induced. Transformation by Y73 also induced elevated levels of phosphotyrosine in talin, whereas transformation by the avian erythroblastosis and Fujinami sarcoma viruses did not.
