title: Chinese hamster protein homologous to human putative protein kinase KIAA0204 is associated with nuclei, microtubules and centrosomes in CHO-K1 cells.
abstract: Monoclonal antibody raised against a preparation of loach fish sperm centrosomes was used for screening of cDNA expressing library of Chinese hamster CHO-K1 cells. Two positive clones appeared to encode 628 amino acid protein fragment that was 72% identical to human KIAA0204 protein, i.e. putative protein kinase. Polyclonal antibodies raised against products of cDNA expression in E. coli recognized 210-kDa polypeptide in CHO-K1 cells and immunostained nuclear speckles, centrosomes and microtubules in these cells. The 210-kDa polypeptide (named MAK-L) co-sedimented with exogenous microtubules. Thus, one more protein kinase seems to be associated with the microtubule network in vertebrate cells.
