Abstract

The phosphorylation sites of simian virus 40 (SV40) large tumor (T) antigens have been extensively studied in productive infection of monkey cells. In this study, we analyzed the phosphorylation sites of large T antigen from SV40-infected nonpermissive mouse cells by partial proteolysis fingerprints and analysis of the phosphoamino acids present in the resulting fragments. The wild-type virus and deletion mutants (dl1263, dl1265, dl2194, and dl2198) were used for infection. On the basis of our results and published data (M. Schwyzer, R. Weil, and H. Zuber, J. Biol. Chem. 225:5627-5634, 1980), a cleavage map of large T antigen was established. It was reported that at least four sites of phosphorylation were present. The amino-terminal part of the molecule contained both phosphoserine and phosphothreonine. One phosphothreonine residue was located in the prolinerich C-terminal end of the molecule at position 701 or 708. On the basis of the concensus as to the amino acid sequence surrounding the recognition sites for protein kinases, it was possible to more precisely locate this phosphothreonine at residue 701. Moreover, the C-terminal part of the molecule contained phosphoserine at a more internal position. In addition, this study firmly established the presence of a phosphothreonine in the N-terminal part of large T antigen. In conclusion, it was shown that the location of phosphorylation sites of large T antigen produced by nonpermissive mouse cells infected by SV40 is strikingly similar to that reported by other groups for large T antigen produced by SV40-infected permissive cells.
