Subcellular fractionation of murine erythroleukemic cells: distribution of protein kinases.
A method for subcellular fractionation of murine erythroleukemic cells is described; a highly purified cytosol fraction and significantly enriched membrane, mitochondrial, and nuclear fractions were obtained. During development of the procedure, we demonstrated how the composition of the extraction buffers and the techniques used can affect activity and distribution of protein kinases. Protein kinases in the various fractions were separated by nondenaturing electrophoresis and detected by phosphorylation and autoradiography. Differences in the relative proportions of the kinases, which may be significant in relation to differentiation, were seen in all the fractions on hexamethylenebisacetamide treatment of the cells.
