It has previously been shown that an electrophoretic variant form of the Rous sarcoma virus transforming protein, pp60v-src, exists in src-transformed cells. This variant, which was readily observed in vanadate-treated cells, was characterized as possessing extensive amino-terminal domain phosphotyrosine modification. Its appearance was further correlated with increased src-specific protein kinase activity. In this study, we used a src-specific monoclonal antibody (MAb) to resolve immunologic forms of pp60v-src. The MAb was able to distinguish between two populations of typical lower-band pp60v-src and was unreactive with the electrophoretic variant upper-band pp60v-src species. Using serial immunoprecipitations, we resolved four populations of pp60v-src: src protein either immunoreactive or unreactive with the MAb from both untreated and vanadate-treated transformed cells. The pp60v-src in each fraction displayed a distinct phosphoamino acid composition and tryptic phosphopeptide profile. However, analysis of their tyrosyl kinase specific activities showed that the immunologically resolved populations of pp60v-src from a given culture did not differ. Both pp60v-src fractions from vanadate-treated cells exhibited similar kinase specific activities, which were greatly enhanced over those of enzyme preparations from untreated cells. Since the MAb-reactive pp60v-src fraction from vanadate-treated cells lacked the electrophoretic variant upper-band pp60v-src species yet still possessed enhanced enzymatic specific activity, the initially stated correlation between the appearance of the electrophoretic variant src form and increased src kinase activity breaks down. These results suggest that yet to be defined modifications of the src protein may be involved in its functional regulation.
