โฆ Synopsis
A protein kinase specific for casein and acidic ribosomal proteins was isolated and partly characterized. It was found that the enzyme utilizes GTP and ATP as phosphoryl donors. Its affinity for ATP was considerably higher than for GTP with the km values of 7.6 X 10(-6)M and 5.5 X 10(-5)M, respectively. Two-dimensional acrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed the phosphorylation of the same ribosomal proteins with either of the [gamma-32P] nucleotides used. It was also shown that one acidic protein (S1 or S2) of 40 S and two acidic proteins (L2 and L3) of 60 S ribosomal subunits were predominantly phosphorylated in vitro. The phosphorylated proteins: L2 and L3 seem to correspond to the proteins of L7 and L12 of E. coli ribosomes. The isolated kinase phosphorylated several basic ribosomal proteins though to a lower extent than the acidic ones.

A method was devised for assaying protein kinases that phosphorylate either Kemptide, such as cAMP-dependent protein kinase, or a glycogen synthase peptide, which is an excellent substrate for protein kinase C. Upon sequential processing of reaction mixtures through tandem columns of cation and anio
Histones from calf thymus are widely utilized as in vitro substrates for protein kinases [e.g., cAMP-dependent protein kinase, protein kinase C, insulin receptor kinase (1-3)]. We have recently used histone H3 as an in vitro substrate for protein kinases of the DYRK family (4). However, even highly
Currently, protein phosphatase 2B (calcineurin) activity is assayed based on release of [32P]phosphate from a 19-amino acid peptide (partial sequence of the regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase) following its [32P]ATP phosphorylation using the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent prote
