title: A new cAMP independent protein kinase tightly bound to DNA, in rat liver nuclei.
abstract: A protein kinase has been characterized among the proteins tightly bound to DNA. It is not extracted with 1 M NaCl and is released by extensive DNase I digestion. This enzyme is able to phosphorylate nucleosomal histones, essentially H2B and H3, and several non-histone proteins associated with DNA, on serine residue(s). It does not phosphorylate protamine, casein, phosvitin and the chromosomal non-histone proteins extracted with 1 M NaCl and is cAMP independent. This protein kinase can be distinguished from the previously described enzymes.
