pubmed:abstractText
A cyclic nucleotide-independent protein kinase has been isolated from Drosophila melanogaster by chromatography on phosphocellulose and hydroxylapatite followed by gel filtration and glycerol gradient sedimentation. As determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis, the purified enzyme is greater than 95% homogeneous and is composed of two distinct subunits, alpha and beta, having Mr = 36,700 and 28,200, respectively. The native form of the enzyme is an alpha 2 beta 2 tetramer having a Stokes radius of 48 A, a sedimentation coefficient of 6.4 S, and Mr approximately 130,000. The purified kinase undergoes an autocatalytic reaction resulting in the specific phosphorylation of the beta subunit, exhibits a low apparent Km for both ATP and GTP as nucleoside triphosphate donor (17 and 66 microM, respectively), phosphorylates both casein and phosvitin but neither histones nor protamine, modifies both serine and threonine residues in casein, and is strongly inhibited by heparin (I50 = 21 ng/ml). These properties are remarkably similar to those of casein kinase II, an enzyme previously described in several mammalian and avian species. The strong similarities among the insect, avian, and mammalian enzymes suggest that casein kinase II has been highly conserved during evolution.
