Abstract: | Summary Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) was purified from rabbit liver to homogeneity by ultracentrifugation, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, Cellulose phosphate, CM-Sephadex and Fast Protein Liquid Chromatography (FPLC) on Mono-S column. The enzyme was purified approximately 20,000 fold with an approximate 2% recovery. The purified enzyme showed a single band on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. GSK-3 is a monomeric enzyme with a molecular weight of 50,000–52,000 as derived from SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel filtration. The purified enzyme was indeed a GSK-3 since it phosphorylated three sites, i.e., 3a, 3b, and 3c on liver glycogen synthase. GSK-3 incorporated up to 2.6 mol Pi/mol glycogen synthase subunit with a concomitant inactivation of glycogen synthase activity. |
