Numatrin is a nuclear matrix phosphoprotein whose synthesis and abundance were shown to be regulated during the cell cycle in mitogen-stimulated lymphocytes (Feuerstein, N., and Mond, J. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 11389-11397). We examined the effect of (a) CTD-kinase, which contains the cdc2 catalytic component (p34) in a complex with a p58 subunit (cdc2/p58) and (b) the M phase-specific histone H1 kinase, which contains the cdc2 kinase in association with a p62 subunit (cdc2/p62), on phosphorylation of numatrin. We show that both cdc2 kinase complexes can phosphorylate numatrin. However, cdc2/p58 at conditions that caused a similar effect to cdc2/p62 on phosphorylation of histone H1 (dpm/micrograms of substrate/micrograms of enzyme) was found to have a 5-25-fold higher catalytic activity in the phosphorylation of numatrin. Analysis of the tryptic phosphopeptide map of numatrin phosphorylated by these cdc2 kinase complexes showed that both kinase complexes phosphorylated two major identical peptides, but minor additional peptides were differentially phosphorylated by each of these kinases. This indicates that under certain experimental conditions cdc2/p58 and cdc2/p62 may express some differences in their catalytic activity. In vitro phosphorylation by CTD kinase of a whole nuclear protein extract from murine fibroblasts showed that numatrin is the most prominent substrate for CTD kinase in this nuclear extract. CTD kinase cdc2/p58 was found to induce significantly the phosphorylation of five other discrete nuclear substrates. Particularly, two nuclear proteins at 75 kDa/pI approximately 6.5 and 85 kDa/pI approximately 5.3, which were not Coomassie Blue stainable, were found to be markedly phosphorylated by CTD kinase. The results of this study call for further study of the role of CTD kinase cdc2/p58 in the phosphorylation of numatrin under physiological conditions and to further characterization of the other nuclear substrates for CTD kinase.
