Abstract: | Protein kinase was isolated from pigeon breast muscle. The preparation obtained was chromatographically homogeneous. The apparent Km varlue for histone H1 and ATP were 3,5-10(-5) M and 1,6-10(-5) M respectively. The purified enzyme displays high specificity for the lysine-rich histones (H1, H2b, H2a). The protein kinase activity is stimulated, 1,6-fold by cyclic AMP. |
