An 85,000-molecular-weight polypeptide (85 K polypeptide) has previously been identified as a common substrate for tyrosine phosphorylation upon polyomavirus middle T transformation or upon platelet-derived growth factor stimulation of 3T3 cells. In each case, pp85 has an associated phosphatidylinositol kinase activity.The tissue distribution of pp85 was determined by middle T blotting experiments; the highest levels were found in brain, lung, and spleen tissues. High-resolution examination of 85 K by isoelectric focusing demonstrated that there are at least 10 different forms. These were resolved into two families, 85 K and 86 K; the ratio of the two families changed in different cells. Similar forms were found for pp85 associated with pp60{sup v-{ital src}}. Individual species within each family differed by phosphorylation. This paper reports that analysis of pp85 and pp86 by immunoprecipitation with anti-phosphotyrosine antibody showed increasing phosphorylation in response to middle T or pp60{sup v-{ital src}} transformation.
