The results of this assay were qualitatively similar to Ihose in
which later-passage. fully infected cells were used (data nol

detect anchorage-independent growth of a small number of

Mutant v-erk proteins. We used immunoblotting to examine the level of mulant v-nA proteins expressed
in tmns-
fected cultures (Fig. 4A). In all ca.es except dSH3, rnutant
protein of the expected molecular weight was observed. Fhe
level of expression of nontransformmg mulanls was lower
than that of wl or fully transforming mutanb, presumabh-
owing to selection against repllcatron of the nontransformn
mutant viruses. We conclude that the lower Ievelsof protein
reflect wt levels of expression in a subpopulanon of cell.,
and not lower, perhaps "subthreshold" levels of expression
in all cells. for the following reasons. First. inditecl rmmu-

0 cells was comparable to wt levels (data not shown). Second.
we examined the steady-state levels of v-crk mRNA in
mutant-infected cultures by Northern (RNA/ blo0#ng, and in
all cases the level of mRNA was proportional lo th'e levels of
mutant protein observed by immunoblotting (data not
showN. Since the mutations that we introduced were in
most cases minor, we do not expect large diBerences irv viral
transcription rate or stability; we therefore assuofe that the
reduced mRNA levels seen in cultures >ransfected with the
nontransforming mutants indicate that a small number of
cells were infected with the mutants. Since mRN.4 levels
were proportional to protein levels. we also assume that
there were no major differences in prolein half-hfe- although
we have nol rigorously excluded this possibilily by pulse-
chase experiments. When mutant protein was detected. we
conclude that there was no gross defect in viral replication
relative to wt CT10 and that the lack of biological activipobserved in the colony formation assav
(Fig. 3) was due to
lesions in the v-crk proteins of the mutant viruses. Srnce we
saw no protein or RNA expression of the -1SH3 mutant, no
conclusion could be drawn about the biologrcal properties of
this mutant.
Phosphotyrosine levels in mulant-transfected CEF were
assayed by immunobloning with anti-ptyr 02. 351. Phospho-
tyrosine levels correlated absolutely with transforming ac-
tivity (Fig. 4B). The fully transforming mulants had phos-
Fhotyrosine patterns similar to wl CT70, the pantally
transforming mutanl BSP had phosphotyrosine levels only
slightly above control levels- and the nomransformmg mu-
tants had no detectable elevation in phosphotyrosine levels.
These results are consistenl with a central role for elevated
(~ phusphotyrosine levels in transformation by v-e rA. We, also
`_ examined the association of mutant rrA proteins with cellular
phosphoproteins. Wt P47°°' '" binds to the major phospho-
tyrosine-containing proteins of infected cells, of apparent
molecular masses 135 to 155, 120. and 70 kDa (21a). The
f6lly transforming mutants- SMH and MH, bound to these
proteins as well as wt p47°°°"" whereas the panially
tFansforming mutant. BSP. bound much lower levels and the
nontransforming mutants bound no detectable phosphppro-
teins (Fig. 5). This experiment also demonstrates that the
mutant rrk proteins, like wt P47°°I were hrghly phosphorylated-
ConstrueUon of gag(-) crk mutants. To acsess the cqmn
bution of viral gag sequences to the biological activity of
P47°°"'a we also constructed two gng-deleted IRng(-/l
mutants. For these mutants we used a replicahon-compBtent
RSV-derived vector (6, 16) in which the uvncated rrA gene is
inserted at the posuion occupied by the .cre gene in wdd-
type RSV. These constructs do nut require couansfectiun
with helper virus to replicate, and should therefore express
the mutant rrA proteins more efficienny than in the ca'se of
the replrcauon-defecuve. CT10-denved mutants desnibed

The two gag(-) construcls have different translalion start
sites (Fig- 2)- A c-rrA cDNA has been cloned. and the
sequence revealed that the cellular product initiates a9 the
methionine homologous to methionine 236 of v-rrA. The

mnal 14 amino acids of p60"'- which are fused to the
C-terminal 234 amino acids of v-<rA. These 14 srr-derived
amino acids are snflicienl to direct mvristoylation of heter-
ologous proteins (25). so this construct is expected to direct
the synthesis of a myristoylated. 252-amino-acid product-
Myristoylation is often sufficient to direct light association of
proteins wilh the plasma membrane (25. 31); we hoped that
by using the arr amino termmus wc could target this gag( -1
rrA mutant to membranes. as well as take advantage of a
translauonnl sian site that is known to work efficiently in a
retroviral conlcxt.
Biological and biochemical properties of gag(-) mutants-
The biological properties of these iwo mutants are summa-
rized in Table 2. Both mutants had partially transforming
phenotypes. The myrisroylated NSC mutant induced subtle
morphological alteration in monolayer culture and very
small colonies in suspension (Fig. 6). although in both cases
n was much less pntent than wi CT10 vim.. When injected
rnlo chickeru ir induced iumors with high frequency, hut
when virus was isolated from tumors it was found to be as
transforming as .rt CTIO, funhermore- the tumor-dtrived
rrA protein could he shown by tmmunoblotting and rmmunoprecipitauon to have regained viral gag
sequences (data
not shown). Thts was presumably due to deletion of the
sequences between gr,g and rr4, in some cases mediated by
eight nucleoudes of viral gag sequence present in the NSC
rrd gene. Owing to this recombinalion. we cannot assess the
tumorigenic potential of the authentic NSC mutanl. although
it musl necessarily be less than that of the gup-conlaining
recombinants. The SHB mutant was somewhat more tmn+-
formng than NSC in both monolayer culture and suspension
(Frg- 6). although still less so than the wl strain. It indtrced
tumors in chtckens, but the latency period was longer and
the tumors wcre slower growing than in the case of wt CTIO.
No recombination with gap was observed with this mulant-
so we assume the tumors were induced by the authentic
gngf-) mutant.

Igenicity in newborn chickens. Table I summanzes these

were induungwshable from parental CTIO by all cntcria

dnmain. had a very weak transforming phenotype. Infected
cells werc mdislmgmshahle from helper-infected eontrols /n

sofl agar (Frg. 3). In addilion, one of two chickens lone of
four snesl mlected with virus developed a small, slow-
growing tumor. Vlrus recovered from this tumor had the
propenles of the parental BSP mutant, suggesting that the
lumor was Induced by Ihe authentic mutant. The remaining
mulants had no detectable Iransforming activity in mono-
layer culture or agar suspenslon. The tumorigenic activity of
the ESP vlrus was shown lo he due to generation of fully
Iransformmg variants. since vtrus recovered from tumors

dent growth, unhke the parental mutant.
Since retroviruses generate frequent mutants through rep.
hcatton errurs. one often observes either the to.s of sc-
quences that are not selected for (such as nonlransforming
oncogenc sequences) or accumulalion of mutants thal are
selected for (changes that activate the transforming potential
of nonuansformng genesl (5- 15: BJ.M. and H.H., unpub-
bvhed ohscrvations). This may be especially true with repli-
catlon-defective viruses such as CTlO. since the defective
sarcoma virus is at a selective disadvantage compared with
rephcauon-compelenl helper virus unrll the culture becomes
fully Infected. To mmimlzc the effecl of viral mutation and
selection dunng culture. it is therefore useful to have a
transformation assay that does not depend on viral spread
and full Infectlon. For this reason we assayed the ability of

does contain

proteins
implicated in signal Iransduc6on. Infection with CT10 causes a dramatir increase in the leccl of
tyrvnlna

reduced or eliminated transforming actfvily, whereas mutation or regions oulside the consrnrd

no effect. Delelion of aminu-terminal gag sequences cnused a partial luss of Irunsfonning ac1i. ity

The results with the two gag(-) mutants were hmbiguous.
The sum of c-vtosolic plus membrane phosphoproleins did
not give the same paltern as when mutant-infected cells were
lysed directly by boiling in sodium dodecyl sulfate (Fig. 7B):
these results might be due to the lengthy manipulations
required for fractionation, since similar results have been
observed in several experiments. However, therk are some
indicalions (for example, t he higher 70-kDa protein phospho-
t)rosine in the cytosol of SHB-infected cells compared with
NSC-infected cells) that phosphotyrcisine levels are more
elevated in the cellular compartment in which the'rrA protein
is found. When the data of Fig. 7 and S are taken together,
our results demonstrate that rrA mutarots lacking gag have a
different suhcellular localization than the wt protein and that
these mutants do not induce the fu11 extent of tyrosine
phosphorylation seen with the wt strain: the presence of r A
protein in The cylosol or membrane fraction correlates with
increased phosphoryrosine in that companment.
DISCUSSION
In the work described in this paper. we analy2ed a series
of in vitro-constructed v-rrA mutants to determine what
sequences are required for transformation by this novel
oncogene. The v-.rA gene has sequence homology to two
domains. termed SH2 and SH3. found in a variety of
proteins implicated in signal transduction (24). We found
that bolh domains are required for full Iransforthation by
v-r.A: in contrast, mutation nf the spacer region: between
these domains had no effect on transforming activity. This
result highlights the importance of SH2 and SH3 domains.
which may play a central role in mediating the assembly of
multiprotem complexes during normal signal transduction
(21a. 24: M. Matsuda and H. Hanafusa. submitted for
publication).
We have proposed that v-rrA might elevate the ihtracellu-
lar phosphotyrostne content of crrtrcal cellular proteins by
binding in a ternary complex with substrate proteins and
endogenous protein-tyrosme kinases (21a). In this model. it
is reasonable to assume that the SH2 and SH3 domains
independently brnd to er[her kmascs or their substrates- but
thal both domams are required for a'ssembly of temary
complexes This is eonsislent wtlh the mulagenic data pre-
sented here and wilh the sequence data for a number of other
proterns. which implies thai the SH2 plus SH2' domairn and
the SH3 domain mu<t have modular and independent func-
trons (2..). Our results are incompatible with a model in
whtch either SH2 or SH3 is sole]y responsible for the
biological activity of v-rrA.
The fact that the SH3 linker inscnion mutanl. BSP. relains
some transforming activity could imply that this domain rs
less cnbcal than SH2 plus SH7 for transformalron How-
ever. the linker in this mutant is inserted inlo a region of the
SH3 domain that ts extremely variable when other se-
quences arc compared: in fact. Ihe S. rrirvisJar r-dr25 gene
product has a five-amino-aetd insertion precisely at the
homologoux spot in its SH3 domain (l, 27). This mutanon
may therefore alter the conformation insuthciently to com-
plelley abolish SH3 function. Further mutation of highly
conserved SH 3 residues i. requued ro resolve this question,
In contrast, the total lack of biological activity of the two
SH2 point mulant. (N273 and Ii294) mphes a critical func-
non for the mutated restdues or an extreme sensniviiy to
conformational change.
We have found that in all cases the degree of increased
cellular phosphotyrosine levelN in mulant-infecled cells cor-

related with the degree of transformahon. This is consislenl
with involvement of increased lyrosinephosphorylation in a
mechanism whereby v-rrk can alter cellular growth control.
The most potemially useful result is that partially transform-
ing mutants increase phosphotyrosine in a partial manner
and never give the full extent of lyrosine phosphorylation
seen in wl CT18-transfonned cells- Since only three major
phosphotyrosine-tontaining proteins are observed, even
with wt v-crk, it may be possible to cnrrelate the degree of
phosphorylation df individual proteins with various transfor-
mation parameters.
The requirement for retroviral gag sequences for full
transfotming activity is surprising, since the RaR-deleled
mutant viruses express high levels of the c-rrA-derived
portion of v-crA. Hetroviral gag has previously been shown
to be important for the transforming activity of other onco-
genes, including abl and fps. which encode tyrosine kinases
(7. 11, 26Tn deregulalion of enzymatic activity. protein stabi-
lization, and altered subcellular localization have been pro-
posed to explain tfns requirement. We have found that avian
gag (which, unlike mammalian gag, is nol mynstoylated 181)
results in narlitioning of P471"`""' into both the membrane
and cytosolic fractions, although the majonty of the protein
is found on the membrane. Our expenments show that v-r.L
prolein that is localized almost exclusively fo enher the
membrane (NSCI or cytosol (SHB) cannot fully transform
cells. PhosphotyrOsinc-eontaining rrk-bmding proteins are
found in both compartments (21a; see above)- We assume
that increased phosphotyrosine levels on thesc proteins are
due to inleraction with the v-rrd protein and that the
gag-deleted mutanis cannot interacl produclively with all of
the cellular substrate proteins owing lo their subcellular
locallzation-
A problem with the replicating retroviral expression sys.
tem used in these Studies is the high viral mutation rate and
apparently strong selection for transforming viruses. Thts
leads to a lower percentage of cells expressing nontran.
forming mutants than the wt and to frequent generation of
fully transfolming revenants or pseudorevertants from less-
trnnsforming parental mutants. The small percentage of cells
expressing nontransforming or weakly transforming mutanl
proleins made it impossible lo assay these mutanls for
rrA-associated tyroslne and scrine-threonme kma>e achvi.
ttes as previously observed with the wt stram (20. ?1. 21a).
since even with highly expressed wt v-crA Ihese activll ics arc

These problems With the retroviral system can be encumvenled in lhe future by expression of mutant

mammalian cell hnes and by in vitro reconsbluuon experi.

murine 3T3 cells and rat 3Y 1 cells when highly expressed via
an integrated selectable vector. and theserrA-expressmg cell
lines have similar biochemical properties to CT1U-mfecled
CEF (C. Marshall and H- Hanafusa. unpublished data)
.
Mutant rrk genes could be expressed at levels comparable to
wt v-r.R in mammalian cell lines. allowing a direct compar-
mon. More promising is the finding that v-rrA protein ex-
pressed in bactena, or in insect cells via a baculovins.
vector, can brnd to the phosphotyrosrne-contaimng proteins
and to the tyrosine kinase activity of v-rr0ransformed cells
(21a; Matsuda and Hanafusa, submitred ). The nontransform-
ing mutants descnbed here should prove extremely useful tn
such reconstitution expenments to elucidate the functions of
the SH2 and SH3 domains and to identify the protelns whose
binding to rrA is required for transforming activity.
