The src gene of Rous sarcoma virus (v-src) and its cellular homolog, the c-src gene, share extensive sequence homology. The most notable differences between these genes reside in the region encoding the carboxy terminus of the src proteins. We constructed mutations within the 3' end of the v-src gene to determine the significance of this region to the transforming potential of the v-src protein, pp60v-src. The mutants CHdl300 and CHis1511 contain mutations that alter the last 23 amino acids of pp60v-src, whereas the mutant CHis1545-C contains a linker insertion that alters the last 11 amino acids of pp60v-src, and the mutant CHis1545-H contains a linker insertion that results in a 9-amino-acid insertion at position 415. Plasmids bearing each of these mutations were unable to transform chicken cells when introduced into these cells by DNA transfection. In addition, the structurally altered src proteins encoded by the mutants had much-reduced levels of tyrosine protein kinase activity in vivo, as measured by autophosphorylation and phosphorylation of the 34,000-Mr cellular protein, and in vitro, as determined by measuring the level of pp60src autophosphorylation. These data indicate that the carboxy-terminal amino acid sequences play an important role in maintaining the structure of the catalytic domain of pp60v-src. In contrast, the transfection of chicken cells with plasmid DNA containing a chimeric v-c-src gene resulted in morphological cell transformation and the synthesis of an enzymatically active hybrid protein. Therefore, the carboxy-terminal sequence alterations observed in the c-src protein do not alone serve to alter the functional activity of a hybrid v-c-src protein appreciably.

Rous sarcoma virus variants that encode src proteins with an altered carboxy terminus are defective for cellular transformation
