Abstract
The separation of modulator-dependent protein kinase I from modulator-dependent protein kinase II obtained from the lungs of sexually premature male mice was accomplished by Sephadex G-200 gel filtration. After preincubation of a mouse lung cytosol fraction with arginine-rich histone, theophylline, cyclic GMP and crude protein kinase modulator a cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase activity peak present in a non-preincubated sample completely disappeared and was replaced by a late-eluted modulator-dependent protein kinase II peak. There was a difference in substrate specificity between modulator-dependent protein kinase I and modulator-dependent protein kinase II despite their similar dependence on crude protein kinase modulator or partially purified stimulatory protein kinase modulator for their maximal activities.
