Abstract
When fibroblasts are transformed by the src oncogene, there is a two- to fivefold increase in glucose transport and in the level of immunoprecipitable glucose transporter protein. In chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEFs), this increase is correlated with a comparable reduction in the rate at which the glucose transporter protein is turned over. In contrast, in mammalian fibroblasts glucose transporter biosynthesis is increased by src, but there is little or no change in its turnover. To further understand the action of src on transporter turnover, we investigated whether a mammalian transporter can be stabilized by src in a chicken cell environment. The human type 1 glucose transporter protein (hGT), originally cloned from HepG2 cells, was expressed in CEFs or Rat-1 fibroblasts by using a retroviral vector. In CEFs transformed by a temperature-sensitive src mutant, tsNY68, turnover of hGT was lower at the permissive temperature (36 degrees C) than at the nonpermissive temperature (42 degrees C). When this protein was expressed in CEFs transformed by wild-type src, no difference in turnover was observed at the two temperatures. In the case of Rat-1 cells transformed by the temperature-sensitive src mutant tsLA29, turnover of hGT was the same at the permissive temperature (35 degrees C) as at the nonpermissive temperature (39.5 degrees C). These data demonstrate that a heterologous glucose transporter behaves in the same way in chicken and rat cells as the respective endogenous transporter, i.e., when src is active, the protein is stablilized against turnover in chicken cells but not in rat cells.
