Department of Pharmacology, Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, DC 20007 Received November 21, 1991; Revised Manuscript Received March 5, 1992 abstract: Previous studies have established that the 93-kDa protein-tyrosine kinase (PTK) encoded by the human c-fes protooncogene plays an active role in the induction of terminalmyeloid differentiation. However, this enzyme is expressed at very low levels in myeloid cells, making isolation of sufficient quantities for detailed biochemical analysis difficult. To overcome this problem, we used the polymerase chain reaction to construct a full-length c-fes cDNA from overlapping 5'and 3'partial cDNA sequences. The c-fes cDNA was expressed at high levels in a baculovirus system, and the catalytically active recombinant c-fes gene product p93c'-/il was partially purified by DEAE-Sepharose and tyrosine-agarose chromatography. Re-combinant p93c'-/" was indistinguishable from the native protein in terms of its apparent molecular weight following SDS-PAGE, catalytic activity, Km for poly (Glu, Tyr) 4; 1, antigenicity, and phosphopeptide pattern generated with Staphylococcus aureus protease. e human c-fes locusencodes a protein-tyrosine kinase (PTK) 1 of 93 kDa (p93c'Af) that is expressed exclusively in hematopoietic cells of the granulocytic and monocytic lineages (Feldman et al., 1985; Glazer et al., 1991; MacDonald et al., 1985; Smithgall et al., 1988). Previous studies have shown that c-fes message levels (Liebermann & Liebermann, 1989) and tyrosine kinase activity (Glazer et al., 1986, 1987; Yu et al., 1988; Yu & Glazer, 1987; Chapekar et al., 1986) increase during the terminal differentiation of myeloidcells, suggesting that this protooncogene maydirectly regulate the maturation process. Further support for this hypothesis comes from gene-transfer studies using the human myeloid leukemia cell line K-562 (Lozzio et al., 1981), which does not express c-fes and is resistant to myeloid differentiation inducers (Koeffler et al., 1981). Transfection of K-562 cells with the human c-fes gene resulted in a significant reduction in the cellular growth rate and the expression of functionalproperties of mature granulocytes (Yu et al., 1989). This result indicates that p93-fes tyrosine kinase activity alone is sufficient to trigger terminal differentiation in an appropriate cell type and suggests that it may represent an important effectormechanism for physiological regulators of myelopoiesis such as the colonystimulating factors (Nicola, 1989). A more detailed analysis of the structural features of p93c'-/" that regulate its tyrosine kinase activity and interaction with other cellular proteins is required to clarify the role of this protooncogene product in myeloid differentiation. p93<:-/«js a member of a unique subfamily of cytoplasmic PTKs encoded by protooncogenes and shares a number of structural features with a larger subfamily of PTKs exemplified by p60c ‘I,'c.
