The lethal effects of the expression of the oncogenic protein tyrosine kinase p60v-src in Saccharomyces cerevisiae are associated with a loss of cell cycle control at the G1/S and G2/M checkpoints. Results described here indicate that the ability of v-Src to kill yeast is dependent on the integrity of the SH2 domain, a region of the Src protein involved in recognition of proteins phosphorylated on tyrosine. Catalytically active v-Src proteins with deletions in the SH2 domain have little effect on yeast growth, unlike wild-type v-Src protein, which causes accumulation of large-budded cells, perturbation of spindle microtubules and increased DNA content when expressed. The proteins phosphorylated on tyrosine in cells expressing v-Src differ from those in cells expressing a Src protein with a deletion in the SH2 domain. Also, unlike the wild-type v-Src protein, which drastically increases histone H1-associated Cdc28 kinase activity, c-Src and an altered v-Src protein have no effect on Cdc28 kinase activity. These results indicate that the SH2 domain is functionally important in the disruption of the yeast cell cycle by v-Src.
