要旨:
Endogenous phosphorylation of intact cells was studied with four mouse, hamster and human cell lines using [gamma-32P]ATP and [gamma-32P]GTP as exogenous substrates. With all four cell lines distinct differences in the phosphoprotein patterns could be demonstrated for cells grown in suspension culture compared to cells grown in monolayers. Two major, apparently ubiquitous phosphoproteins with molecular weights of 135 000 (128 000 in HeLa cells) and 105 000, representing up to 60% of total phosphorylation, were phosphorylated only in cells grown in suspension. These phosphoproteins and the kinase(s) were located on the surface of the suspension cells. Evidence showed that phosphorylation was apparently not a true endogenous reaction, that rather it occurred by cell-cell collision, showing exponentially increasing 32P incorporation with increasing cell population density. Phosphorylation of pp135 and pp105 was established with ATP as well as with GTP and was not dependent on cyclic nucleotides cyclic AMP, cyclic GMP and cyclic CMP. The substrate-attached cells of all four cell lines have protein kinases on the cell surface. The lack of pp135 and pp105 phosphorylation may be due to the fact that these phosphoproteins are not expressed at all on the surface of substrate-attached cells or that these phosphoproteins are already fully phosphorylated.
