Title: Band 3 tyrosine kinase in avian erythrocyte plasma membrane is immunologically related to pp60 sup c-src

The authors have identified in the plasma membrane of the chicken erythrocyte a 60-kDa tyrosine-specific protein kinase immunologically related to the transforming protein pp60{sup v-src} of Rous sarcoma virus. The erythrocyte protein kinase phosphorylated heavy chains of tumor-bearing rabbit (TBR) antibodies reactive with pp60{sup c-src} at tyrosine in immune complex protein kinase assays. The kinase was identified as a 60-kDa protein by ({sup 35}S)methionine labeling of erythrocytes and by autophosphorylation in immune complexes. The kinase migrated on two-dimensional gel electrophoresis with an apparent pI and molecular mass similar to pp60{sup c-src}. A plasma membrane-enriched fraction isolated from chicken red cells contained the majority of the kinase activity. Incubation of the plasma membrane fraction with ({sup 32}P)ATP resulted in tyrosine phosphorylation of the anion transport protein band 3. Band 3 phosphorylation was blocked by TBR antibodies, indicting that the kinase recognized by pp60{sup c-src} antibodies was responsible for band 3 phosphorylation. These results demonstrate that the avian erythrocyte plasma membrane contains a tightly bound tyrosine-specific protein kinase identical or closely related to pp60{sup c-src} and that this kinase is responsible for band 3 phosphorylation in vitro.
