Abstract
A procedure has been developed for the isolation of a catalytically competent phosphorylated tyrosine kinase (RSV Y-kinase) from avian sarcoma virus-induced rat tumors. The procedure involves reaction of partially purified RSV Y-kinase with ATP to effect tyrosyl phosphorylation of catalytically competent RSV Y-kinase. Tyrosyl phosphorylated RSV Y-kinase was isolated from the heterogenous reaction mixture by immunoadsorption on immobilized phosphotyrosyl binding antibodies and elution with the hapten p-nitrophenyl phosphate. Estimation of the phosphate content of the purified phosphorylated RSV Y-kinase indicated that 1–3 tyrosyl groups had been phosphorylated upon reaction with ATP. The specific activity toward histone 2B of the purified phosphorylated RSV Y-kinase was at least 30-fold greater than that estimated for the RSV Y-kinase prepared previously by immunoadsorption on immobilized antiserum from tumor bearing rabbits.
