Fibroblasts transformed by the v-Src oncoprotein exhibit elevated activity of the enzyme phosphatidylinositol 3`-kinase (PI 3-kinase), which binds to, and is activated by, a wide range of receptor tyrosine kinases as well as v-Src and transforming polyoma middle T/c-Src complexes. Here we consider the role of the v-Src homology (SH) domains, SH3 and SH2, and the tyrosine kinase catalytic domain, in the stimulation of v-Src-associated PI 3-kinase activity in response to rapid activation of the oncoprotein. As shown by others, we find that the v-Src SH3 domain tightly binds the PI 3-kinase p85 regulatory subunit in normal growing chicken embryo fibroblasts. However, we also find that in transformed cells there is additional efficient binding of PI 3-kinase to the v-Src SH2 domain in a catalytically active form. Furthermore, the binding of p85 to the SH2 domain, which is almost undetectable in quiescent cells, is rapidly stimulated upon activation of temperature-sensitive v-Src and consequent cell cycle entry, demonstrating that binding is a target for regulation. We also show that v-Src-associated PI 3-kinase differs considerably from PDGF receptor-associated enzyme by a different mode of binding, a lack of substantial allosteric activation, and a dependence on the tyrosine kinase activity of v-Src. The rapidly induced binding and activation of PI 3-kinase thus provides sensitive regulation of recruitment of PI 3-kinase to its substrates and into other signaling complexes at the cell membrane, which involves all the Src homology domains.
