Vaccinia virus gene B1R encodes a protein kinase, the previously identified substrates of which include the proteins S2 and Sa of 40S ribosomal subunits. This work characterizes another substrate of the B1R kinase: a 36-kDa protein induced at the early stage of infection. Partially purified 36-kDa protein, eluted from a single-stranded DNA-cellulose column by 0.5 M NaCl, was separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Phosphorylation in vitro yielded multiple forms of the 36-kDa protein with approximate isoelectric points (pI) of 5.5, 5.7, 5.9, and 6.3, in addition to the apparently unphosphorylated form with a pI of approximately 6.8. The tryptic peptides derived from 36-kDa proteins with pI values of 5.7, 5.9, and 6.3 yielded almost identical high-pressure liquid chromatography profiles, strongly suggesting that the 36-kDa protein was modified by the phosphorylation of at least four sites, which were characterized as threonine residues. The amino acid sequence of several tryptic peptides derived from the 36-kDa protein showed that the 36-kDa protein was encoded by gene H5R of vaccinia virus. Consistent with this, the B1R kinase--either expressed in Escherichia coli or highly purified from HeLa cells--phosphorylated a recombinant trpE-H5R fusion protein in vitro. Fingerprints of the trpE-H5R and 36-kDa proteins phosphorylated by recombinant B1R kinase revealed common sites of phosphorylation, although some tryptic peptides were specific to either protein. Comparison was made of fingerprints of tryptic phosphopeptides derived from 36-kDa single-stranded DNA-binding protein labelled in vivo or in vitro. A common subset of peptides was observed, suggesting that some sites on H5R protein are phosphorylated by the B1R kinase in infected cells. These results suggest that some of the multiple threonine sites in the H5R protein are phosphorylated in vivo by the B1R protein kinase.
