RESUMO

We have previously reported that a serine(threonine) protein kinase that phosphorylates histone H1 in vitro is activated by tyrosine phosphorylation in v-Src-transformed rat 3Y1 fibroblasts. We now refer to this kinase as YRP kinase, for tyrosine-regulated protein kinase. Since YRP kinase may play a role in mediating the growth-stimulatory and morphology-altering effects of v-Src, we have further examined the signal transduction involved in the activation of YRP kinase. Although YRP kinase is constitutively activated in fibroblasts transformed by v-Src, activation of protein kinase C was also found to lead to activation of YRP kinase. Activation of YRP kinase by protein kinase C was found to be potentiated by vanadate treatment or overexpression of c-Src. The activation of YRP kinase by v-Src, however, does not appear to be mediated by protein kinase C, suggesting that YRP kinase can be activated by two separate signal transduction pathways. Transformation of fibroblasts by v-Ras or v-Mil did not result in activation of YRP kinase, indicating that the MAP kinase pathway does not mediate the activation of YRP kinase by v-Src or protein kinase C.
