title: Purification and some properties of the phosphoprotein from rat incisors.
abstract: The phosphoprotein of rat incisors has been purified by successive gel and ion-exchange chromatography. The product gave a single band on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and contained approximately 34% phosphoserine and 32% aspartic acid. Alkaline elimination experiments showed all the phosphate to be present as phosphoserine. Ultraviolet spectra in the presence or absence of ATP showed that the phosphoprotein did not contain an nucleotide moiety as suggested by Veis, A., Spector, A. R. and Zamoscianyk, H. ((1972) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 257, 404-413) for bovine dentin phosphoprotein.
