Abstract
The activities of rat brain protein kinase C isoenzymic fractions separated by hydroxyapatite chromatography were measured with histone H1 or the oligopeptide Ala-Ala-Ala-Ser-Phe-Lys-Ala-Lys-Lys-amide as substrates. The oligopeptide was a better substrate than histone H1 for nearly all of the protein kinase C fractions. Two subtractions of type III isoenzyme were resolved (IIIa and IIIb); type IIIb was characterized by a very low histone kinase activity compared to its peptide kinase activity. In some brain extracts a phospholipid-dependent but Ca 2+-inhibited protein kinase was also observed which was eluted from the hydroxyapatite column between type II and III isoenzymes of protein kinase C.
