Abstract

A nucleoplasmic histone kinase activity was isolated from livers of adult rats and purified 39-fold compared with whole nuclei by ultracentrifugation of the nuclear extract and Sephadex G-200 gel filtration in the presence of cyclic AMP. Analysis by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis as well as by gel filtration indicates a mol.wt. of approx. 60,000 for the catalytic subunit and 130000-150000 for the cyclic AMP-binding activity. The purified enzyme displays a 20-fold greater preference for histone fractions 1 and 2b than for any non-histone substrate, including alpha-casein. Endogenous protein in the preparation is not appreciably phosphorylated. The unfractioned enzyme is stimulated significantly by cyclic GMP, cyclic IMP and dibutyryl cyclic AMP as well as by cyclic AMP. The catalytic reaction requires Mg2+ (Km 1.9mM) and ATP (Km 15.4 micron). Half-maximal activity of the enzyme is observed with histone 2b at 12micron and histone 1 at a higher substrate concentration. The pH optima are 6.1 and 6.5 with histones 2b and 1 respectively. This nuclear protein kinase appears to be distinct from other nuclear enzymes that have been reported, on the basis of histone specificity, univalent-salt-sensitivity, pH optima and nuclear location. However, the enzyme possesses many properties similar to those of the cytoplasmic kinases, including cyclic AMP-dependence, Mg2+ and ATP affinities and pH optima. It differs from cytoplasmic protein kinase type I, the major form in the liver, with respect to bivalent-cation effects and response to the heat-stable protein kinase inhibitor protein isolated from ox heart.
