title: Phosphorylation of the human cell proliferation-associated nucleolar protein p120.
abstract: The human cell proliferation-associated nucleolar protein p120 was found in a variety of human cancer specimens but not in most normal resting cells. Polyclonal antibodies raised against bacterially expressed p120 were used to immunoprecipitate the p120 protein isolated from 32P-labeled HeLa cells. The p120 protein was phosphorylated at serine, threonine and tyrosine residues. A tryptic peptide map showed it contained three labeled peptides. One of these peptides comigrated with a p120 peptide phosphorylated in vitro by casein kinase II. This peptide was phosphorylated in vitro both at Ser-181 and Thr-185. This region is juxtaposed to the epitope site recognized by the anti-p120 monoclonal antibody.
