Monoclonal antibody detection of transformation associated protein (TAP) in ts110 Moloney murine sarcoma virus transformed 6M2 cells that are different from the mos gene product

Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 1986 Feb 13;134(3):1223-30. doi: 10.1016/0006-291x(86)90381-5.

Abstract

By the use of a highly specific monoclonal antibody (designated MC), we were able to detect three radiolabeled bands with molecular weights of 60,000, 63,000, and 66,000 daltons in the ts-110 Moloney murine sarcoma virus mutant-transformed rat kidney cells known as 6M2. Expression of transformation properties as well as these three bands in 6M2 cells was found to be temperature sensitive. Therefore, MC detected factors that are apparently associated with the transformation of 6M2 cells. These factors are tentatively referred to as transformation associated proteins. These transformation proteins were found in two other Moloney murine sarcoma virus-transformed rat cell lines. These proteins were found to differ from known gene products of the ts-110 Moloney murine sarcoma virus mutant and do not have kinase activity. The transformation associated proteins may represent rat cellular factors activated during the transformation of rat cells by Moloney murine sarcoma virus.
