RESUMO
Temperature-sensitive mutants of the lck tyrosine protein kinase were created by the introduction of mutations known to cause temperature sensitivity of the v-src tyrosine protein kinase of Rous sarcoma virus. p56lck activated by mutation of the regulatory site of tyrosine phosphorylation, Tyr-505, to Phe transforms fibroblasts in culture. Mutations identical to those responsible for the temperature-sensitive phenotypes of the tsNY68 and tsNY72-4 v-src mutants rendered this activated lck gene temperature sensitive for both morphological transformation and induction of growth in soft agar. The mutant proteins were incapable of cellular transformation at the nonpermissive temperature in part because of failure of the lck protein to accumulate to normal levels. Morphological transformation of fibroblasts was detectable within 24 h of a shift of cells to the permissive temperature and was essentially complete in 48 to 72 h. These mutants should prove useful for the study of the function of the lck kinase in hematopoietic cells.
