pp60c-src in the developing cerebellum. 1985

D W Fults, and A C Towle, and J M Lauder, and P F Maness

pp60c-src was localized in the cerebellum of developing chicken embryos by immunoperoxidase staining with antisera raised against bacterially expressed pp60v-src. Immunoreactivity (IR) appeared in the cerebellum of the chicken embryos at the time of neuronal differentiation. pp60c-src IR was detected in regions of the developing cerebellum where processes of developing neurons and glia are located. In the early embryo (stage 17), pp60c-src IR was localized in the marginal zone of the cerebellar plate. By stage 40, pp60c-src IR was localized in the process-rich molecular layer of the cerebellum and between the cells of the developing internal granular layer. Cell bodies of cerebellar neurons did not show pp60c-src IR at any stage of development. Mitotically active neuroepithelial cells of the metencephalon did not express pp60c-src before the onset of differentiation in the early embryo, nor did proliferating cells of the external granular layer express pp60c-src at later stages. Although it is not possible to ascertain whether pp60c-src is localized in developing neurons or glia at the light microscope level, the time of its appearance and pattern of distribution in the molecular layer is suggestive of a localization within the developing neuronal processes which compose the bulk of this layer. Biochemical analyses of pp60c-src in the developing cerebellum by the immune complex protein kinase activity and sensitivity of the kinase to inhibition by P1,P4-di(adenosine-5')tetraphosphate confirmed that the expression of pp60c-src coincided with the time of neuronal differentiation. We conclude from these results that in the central nervous systems, pp60c-src may be more important in an aspect of cell differentiation or a mature neuronal function than in the proliferation of neuronal or glial precursors.

D009857	Oncogenes	Genes whose gain-of-function alterations lead to NEOPLASTIC CELL TRANSFORMATION. They include, for example, genes for activators or stimulators of CELL PROLIFERATION such as growth factors, growth factor receptors, protein kinases, signal transducers, nuclear phosphoproteins, and transcription factors. A prefix of "v-" before oncogene symbols indicates oncogenes captured and transmitted by RETROVIRUSES; the prefix "c-" before the gene symbol of an oncogene indicates it is the cellular homolog (PROTO-ONCOGENES) of a v-oncogene.

D011494	Protein Kinases	A family of enzymes that catalyze the conversion of ATP and a protein to ADP and a phosphoprotein.	Protein Kinase,Kinase, Protein,Kinases, Protein
D002531	Cerebellum	The part of brain that lies behind the BRAIN STEM in the posterior base of skull (CRANIAL FOSSA, POSTERIOR). It is also known as the "little brain" with convolutions similar to those of CEREBRAL CORTEX, inner white matter, and deep cerebellar nuclei. Its function is to coordinate voluntary movements, maintain balance, and learn motor skills.	Cerebella,Corpus Cerebelli,Parencephalon,Cerebellums,Parencephalons
D002642	Chick Embryo	The developmental entity of a fertilized chicken egg (ZYGOTE). The developmental process begins about 24 h before the egg is laid at the BLASTODISC, a small whitish spot on the surface of the EGG YOLK. After 21 days of incubation, the embryo is fully developed before hatching.	Embryo, Chick,Chick Embryos,Embryos, Chick
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D014018	Tissue Distribution	Accumulation of a drug or chemical substance in various organs (including those not relevant to its pharmacologic or therapeutic action). This distribution depends on the blood flow or perfusion rate of the organ, the ability of the drug to penetrate organ membranes, tissue specificity, protein binding. The distribution is usually expressed as tissue to plasma ratios.	Distribution, Tissue,Distributions, Tissue,Tissue Distributions

D015688	Oncogene Protein pp60(v-src)	A tyrosine-specific protein kinase encoded by the v-src oncogene of ROUS SARCOMA VIRUS. The transforming activity of pp60(v-src) depends on both the lack of a critical carboxy-terminal tyrosine phosphorylation site at position 527, and the attachment of pp60(v-src) to the plasma membrane which is accomplished by myristylation of its N-terminal glycine.
