RESUMO
Protein kinase activity (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37) has been found associated with the D2 hybrid protein, a highly purified protein of 107,000 daltons specified by the adenovirus-simian virus 40 (SV40) hybrid Ad2+D2, which has many properties associated with authentic SV40 T antigen [Tjian, R. & Robbins, A. (1979) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 76, 610-614]. We have now examined some of the biochemical characteristics of the reaction products. Acceptors for the terminal phosphoryl group of [γ-32P]ATP are the purified protein itself and at least four proteins extracted from nuclei of uninfected cells. Purified histones do not serve as substrate for the enzyme. Phosphorylation is markedly reduced by heating the D2 hybrid protein to 50°C for 30 min. The products of phosphorylation are stable to treatment with ethanol/ether, DNase, and RNase, but completely degraded by digestion with Pronase, demonstrating their protein nature. The phosphate bonds are liable to hot alkali and sensitive to digestion with alkaline phosphatase but stable to treatment with hot acid or hydroxylamine. These results provide evidence that 32P is incorporated into O-phosphoserine or O-phosphothreonine residues of acceptor proteins, indicating that the enzymatic activity is characteristic for protein kinase, and that cell-specified nuclear proteins other than histones may serve as substrates for the enzyme.
