Abstract:
1. The changes in electrophoretic distribution of cytosolic protein kinases have been studied in relation to proliferation, differentiation and transformation in murine erythroleukaemic cells, using a non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis system. 2. Native molecular masses of the major forms were determined by Ferguson plots. 3. A two dimensional electrophoresis method was developed for determination of the subunit molecular masses. 4. These studies suggest that the major bands of activity contain components which may correspond to cGMP dependent protein kinase, cAMP dependent protein kinase and protein kinase C. 5. On hexamethylene bisacetamide induced differentiation of the cells, changes in proportions of the different forms were observed.
