A protein kinase (EC 2.7.1.37) was purified 2000-fold, from the soluble protein fraction of human spleen cells, using ion-exchange chromatography, ammonium sulfate fractionation, and gel filtration. This rapid procedure yielded 30% of the initial activity and an enzyme preparation with specific activity of 62 nmol min-1 mg-1 of protein. On the basis of disc gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate acrylamide gels and isoelectric focusing the enzyme preparation appears homogeneous and to consist of one polypeptide with a molecular weight of 43,000 and having a pI of 7.1. The purified enzyme activity is cyclic AMP and cGMP independent phosphorylates both alpha-casein and phosvitin, and uses Mg2+ ATP and Mg2+ GTP as phosphate donors, exhibiting an apparent Km of 2.0 and 6.6 X 10(-5)m, respectively. Furthermore, the enzyme activity is strongly inhibited by heparin (K50 = 0.1 micrograms/ml). These catalytic properties are characteristic of the enzyme casein kinase II, as described in several eukaryotic cells.
