Article Title: Tumor necrosis factor induces phosphorylation of a 28-kDa mRNA cap-binding protein in human cervical carcinoma cells
Abstract: Tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) stimulated the phosphorylation of a 28-kDa protein (p28) in the ME-180 line of human cervical carcinoma cells. The effect of TNF-α on the phosphorylation state of p28 was rapid (4-fold increase within 15 min) and persistent, remaining above the basal level for at least 2 hr. The specific binding of 125I-labeled TNF-α to cell-surface binding sites, the stimulation of p28 phosphorylation by TNF-α, and the inhibition of cell proliferation by TNF-α occurred with nearly identical dose-response relationships. Two-dimensional SDS/PAGE resolved p28 into two isoforms having pI values of 6.2 and 6.1. A phosphorylated cap-binding protein was substantially enriched from lysates of control or TNF-α-treated ME-180 cells by affinity chromatography with 7-methylguanosine 5'-triphosphate-Sepharose. The phosphoprotein recovered from this procedure was the substrate for TNF-α-promoted phosphorylation, p28. Thus, TNF-α stimulates the phosphorylation of this mRNA cap-binding protein, which may be involved in the transduction of TNF-α-receptor binding into cellular responses.
