We previously reported the isolation of PR2257, a novel avian sarcoma retrovirus which transduced the c-src protooncogene. The v-src gene of PR2257 differs from the c-src gene by a sequence change after amino acid 525, resulting in the replacement of tyrosine 527 by a valine, and an extension of the open reading frame into the non coding region of c-src. We investigated the respective roles of Tyr527 mutation and of the C-terminal extension in activating the oncogenic properties of c-src. Therefore we overexpressed the wild type c-src gene and c-src variants, carrying either a substitution of tyrosine 527 or an extension of the C-terminus or both modifications in combination, in chicken embryo fibroblasts and post mitotic neuroretina (NR) cells, using replication defective retroviruses. We also used in vivo inoculation of plasmid DNA to assess the tumorigenicity of the various c-src genes. We report that, in contrast to previous results, overexpression of c-src is sufficient to induce NR cell division. While mutation of tyrosine 527 alone significantly activates c-src transforming and tumorigenic properties, its combination with the C-terminal extension of PR2257 confers to this gene full oncogenic properties and increased metastatic potential as compared to the v-src of Rous sarcoma virus strains.
