  • Title: v-mos protein produced by in vitro translation has protein kinase activity.
    Author: Herzog NK, Nash M, Ramagli LS, Arlinghaus RB.
    Journal: J Virol; 1990 Jun; 64(6):3093-6. PubMed ID: 2159564.
    Abstract:
    The v-mos protein, termed p37v-mos, has a closely associated serine/threonine protein kinase activity. To provide further information about its protein kinase activity, we tested the activity of p37v-mos produced in a cell-free translation system from transcripts generated from a cloned v-mos gene. Anti-mos(37-55) immunoprecipitates of in vitro-produced p37v-mos were found to possess serine/threonine protein kinase activity, whereas those obtained with anti-mos(260-271), known to block v-mos autophosphorylation, lacked kinase activity. The phosphorylated products were identical in size to p37v-mos and p43v-mos produced in protein kinase assays from Moloney murine sarcoma virus-infected cells expressing authentic p37v-mos. These results provide further proof that the protein kinase activity associated with p37v-mos is an intrinsic property of the v-mos gene product. This translation system also provides a useful experimental model to study the activation of the mos protein kinase. Thus, protein kinase assays performed on [35S]methionine-labeled p37v-mos produced p43v-mos at the expense of p37v-mos. Phosphatase treatment removed the p43v-mos species, resulting in increase of the p37v-mos-sized protein, confirming our previous interpretation that p43v-mos is a hyperphosphorylated form of p37v-mos.
