Spermine-mediated casein kinase II-uptake by rat liver mitochondria.
Spermine, ubiquitous intracellular polyamine, is able to promote the transmembrane translocation of casein kinase CKII through the outer membrane of rat liver mitochondria and its binding to more internal mitochondrial structures. These findings suggest that spermine may play a critical role in regulating the subcellular distribution of casein kinase CKII.
