Abstract
The levels of the calcium dependent regulatory protein in transformed chicken embryo fibroblasts are higher both in soluble fractions and membrane fractions compared to untransformed cells. The kinetics for changes in the calcium dependent regulatory protein, hexose transport, and adenylate cyclase were compared using a temperature sensitive mutant of Rous sarcoma virus. Decreases in adenylate cyclase activity and increased hexose transport accompanying transformation occurred with half-lives of approximately 7 to 8 hours. Increases in the calcium dependent regulatory protein occurred much slower with a half-life of seventeen hours. It is concluded that the increase in calcium dependent regulatory protein levels is a late event during viral transformation and that the decline in adenylate cyclase activity cannot be due to changes in the amount of calcium dependent regulatory protein.
