Popis: In Rous sarcoma virus (RSV)-transformed NIH-3T3 fibroblasts expressing pp60 v- src as tyrosine protein kinase, isoproterenol-stimulated cAMP accumulation was much lower than in normal cells. The reduction in v- src -transformed cells seemed to be mainly due to a decrease in the number of β 2 -adrenoceptors. When the membranes were phosphorylated with ATP, however, the binding affinity of isoproterenol to β 2 -adrenoceptors was reduced in transformed cell membranes by 34% compared to that in normal cell membranes. The reduction in transformed cell membranes was restored to the level of normal cell membranes by treatment of membranes with anti-pp60 v- src antibody. GTPγS- and cholera toxin-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activities were reduced with no change in forskolin-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity in transformed cell membranes. The reduced effect of GTPγS was also restored by treatment with anti-pp60 v- src antibody or by adding staurosporine, which inhibits a variety of protein kinases, including tyrosine protein kinase. One of the 32 P-phosphoproteins phosphorylated with [γ- 32 P]ATP in v- src -transformed cell membranes was bound to GTP-agarose, and was a 46-kDa molecule on a sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel. This 46-kDa 32 P-labeled phosphoprotein was immunoprecipitated with anti-phosphotyrosine antibody or anti-stimulatory GTP-binding protein (anti-G s ) antibody. These results suggest that pp60 v- src phosphorylates the α-subunit of G s and consequently causes a decrease in the coupling of β 2 -receptors to G s and in the coupling of G s to adenylyl cyclase.
