Popis: Chick embryo fibroblasts (CEF) transformed by the Schmidt-Ruppin strain of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV-SR) have decreased adenylate cyclase activity. In cells infected by a temperature-sensitive mutant of this virus (RSV-SR-T5), enzyme activity is near normal when the cells are grown at the non-permissive temperature (41°C) but decreases at the permissive temperature (36°). Adenylate cyclase activity decreases slowly over a 24 hr period to one half normal levels when CEF-RSV-SR-T5 are shifted from 41° to 36°C. The low enzyme activity in CEF-RSV-SR is not due to an alteration in the K m ATP or a change in the kinetics of Mg ++ activation, and is not observed when the enzyme is assayed in the presence of NaF. We conclude that transformation by RSV-SR reduces adenylate cyclase activity by a different mechanism than the Bryan high-titer strain of RSV.
