Abstract:
:We have been interested in how Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) influences transformed cell morphology and compared the molecular properties of chicken embryo cells (CEC) infected with mutants of RSV that induce the fusiform transformed cell morphology with those of CEC infected by wild-type RSV, which induces the more normal round transformed cell morphology. We looked for properties shared by all fusiform mutant-infected cells, because these may be responsible for maintaining the fusiform morphology. Five different fusiform mutants, two wild-type RSVs, and one wild-type back revertant of a fusiform mutant were studied. In the fusiform mutant-infected cells, the localization and myristylation of pp60src were determined and the extent of expression of the extracellular matrix protein fibronectin was examined at both the mRNA and protein levels. The phosphorylation of vinculin on tyrosine also was examined in the same CEC. Within all fusiform mutant-transformed CEC, pp60src was dramatically absent from the adhesion plaque sites normally seen in cells transformed with wild-type RSV, and these transformed CEC all expressed more fibronectin mRNA and protein in the extracellular matrix than did the wild-type RSV-transformed CEC. The absence of pp60src from the adhesion plaques was not due to lack of myristylation of the src protein, and tyrosine phosphorylation of vinculin was not related to fibronectin expression. These results suggest that the inverse relationship between pp60src in the adhesion plaques and fibronectin expression in the extracellular matrix may be interconnected phenomena and could be related to the maintenance of the fusiform transformed morphology.
