“…TIME(min) A number of proteins have been shown to serve as in vitro substrates for casein II kinases. These include glycogen synthase (Meggio et al, 1981), translation initiation factors (Hathaway et al, 1979), RNA polymerase I and II (Dahmus, 1981;Duceman et al, 1981;Stetler and Rose, 1982), troponin-T (Villar-Palasi and Kumon, 1981), high mobility group (HMG) protein 14 (Walton and Gill, 1983;Walton et al, 1985), the regulatory subunit RuI of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (Carmichael et al, 1982;Hemmings et al, 1982) and topoisomerase II (Ackerman et al, 1985). Phosphorylation of Drosophila topoisomerase II by homologous casein II kinase (Ackerman et al, 1985) resembled the phosphorylation characteristics of topoisomerase I in that phosphorylation had a stimulatory effect on enzymatic activity, serine was the phosphate-acceptor amino acid and the kinase had a high affinity for the topoisomerase (Durban et al, 1983;Mills et al, 1982).…”
