title: Phosphorylation of calf thymus RNA polymerase II by nuclear cyclic 3',5'-AMP-independent protein kinase.
abstract: Nucleoplasmic RNA polymerase II (nucleosidetriphosphate:RNA nucleotidyltransferase, EC 2.7.7.6) from calfthymus is phosphorylated by homologous cyclic AMP-independent protein kinase (ATP:protein phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.37). Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the 32P-labeled RNA polymerase II under non-denaturing conditions revealed that both forms of the enzyme were phosphorylated. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the 32P-labeled RNA polymerase II under denaturing conditions showed that the 25 000 dalton subunit was the phosphate acceptor subunit. Partial acid hydrolysis of the 32P-labeled RNA polymerase II followed by ion-exchange chromatography revealed serine and threonine as the [32P]phosphate acceptor amino acids. Phosphorylation of the RNA polymerase II was accompanied by a stimulation of enzymatic activity and was dependent upon the presence of ATP.
