Abstract

Protein kinase from Streptomyces lincolnensis was purified nearly to homogeneity using a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and a Pharmacia FPLC system. The procedure used employed column chromatography on DE-53, followed by FPLC affinity chromatography with serine- or threonine-Sepharose (prepared as described in this paper) and gel filtration using a Superose 12 or TSK G3000SW column. Starting with 3.5 g of mycelial proteins, ∼ 1 mg of pure enzyme was obtained. The procedure is simple and highly reproducible. The protein kinase thus obtained was nearly pure by silver staining after sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylaminde gel electrophoresis. The purified protein kinase phosphorylated substrate proteins at the seryl residues.
