Polyoma middle T antigen (mT) was expressed in rat F-111 cells under control of the dexamethasone-regulatable mouse mammary tumor virus promoter. Graded phenotypic responses to levels of mT induction by the hormone were seen, with morphological transformation, focus formation and anchorage-dependent growth requiring increasing levels of mT expression. The ability of different clones to form tumors reflected their maximum level of induction of mT-associated kinase and their ability to grow in soft agar. Expression of transformation parameters and tumorigenicity correlates with the level of mT phosphorylated by pp60c-src in immune complexes and not with the total amount of mT determined by metabolic labeling. It is suggested that cellular factors regulate mT activity by forming a kinase-active fraction of mT molecules that controls the transformed state.
