The transforming gene product of the Abelson murine leukemia virus (A-MuLV) is a phosphoprotein encoded by combined viral and cellular sequences. Previous work has shown the existence of a serologically crossreactive normal cellular phosphoprotein called NCP150. We have utilized two-dimensional phosphopeptide mapping and phosphoamino acid analysis to compare the structures of NCP150 and wild-type and mutant forms of the A-MuLV protein labeled in vivo with 32P-orthophosphate. This analysis demonstrated clear homology between NCP150 and wild-type A-MuLV protein, but a number of phosphorylation differences were seen. Among them, two specific tyrosine phosphorylations present in all transformation-competent Abelson proteins were not observed in NCP150. No other phosphotyrosine-containing peptides were detected. In addition, transformation-defective mutants isolated from either the P120 or P160 wild-type strain lack phosphotyrosine-containing peptides. Double-infection studies with such transformation-defective and transformation-competent A-MuLV strains show that Abelson viral proteins may be substrates for their own tyrosine-specific kinase activity in vivo. These observations suggest that the phosphotyrosine kinase activity of the abl region may be controlled, and may function, differently in its viral and cellular forms.
