چکیده
A simple and rapid assay method is described for determining the specific radioactivity of the gamma-phosphate group of 32P-labelled ATP. Labelled ATP is incubated with cyclic AMP, cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and histone H2A under conditions leading to maximum phosphorylation of the histone. The specific radioactivity of the gamma-phosphate group of the 32P-labelled ATP is calculated from the total amount of [32P]Pi incorporated into a standard amount of histone. This assay method uses inexpensive commercially available materials, and it yields an accurate specific radioactivity with as little as 0.25 nmol of 32P-labelled ATP.

An enzymic radiochemical method for determining phosphatidylglycerol in amniotic fluid.
We describe an enzymic quantification of phosphatidylglycerol in amniotic fluid. Phosphatidylglycerol is hydrolyzed in alkali and the resulting glycerol is then enzymatically phosphorylated with adenosine 5'-[gamma-32P]triphosphate to yield glycero[32P]phosphate. After removal of excess [gamma-32P]ATP by charcoal, the radioactivity of the glycerophosphate is measured in a liquid scintillation c...
متن کاملCharacterization of receptors for immune interferon in U937 cells with 32P-labeled human recombinant immune interferon.
Recombinant human immune interferon (HuIFN-gamma) was labeled with [gamma-32P]ATP and cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase from bovine heart to a specific radioactivity of 11,000 Ci/mmol. At least two molecules of phosphate were incorporated per molecule of interferon. The binding of [32P]HuIFN-gamma to human U937 histiocytic lymphoma cells was time dependent, and displaceable by HuIFN-gamma but...

1. A screen for agonists capable of stimulating the formation of inositol phosphates in erythrocytes from 5-day-old chickens revealed the presence of a population of phosphoinositidase C-linked purinergic receptors. 2. If chicken erythrocytes prelabelled with [3H]Ins were exposed to a maximal effective dose of adenosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate for 30 s, the agonist-stimulated increment in tot...
متن کاملPurification and phosphorylation of the Arc regulatory components of Escherichia coli.
In Escherichia coli, a two-component signal transduction system, consisting of the transmembrane sensor protein ArcB and its cognate cytoplasmic regulatory protein ArcA, controls the expression of genes encoding enzymes involved in aerobic respiration. ArcB belongs to a subclass of sensors that have not only a conserved histidine-containing transmitter domain but also a conserved aspartate-cont...
متن کاملStimulation of phosphate uptake in human platelets by thrombin and collagen. Changes in specific 32P labeling of metabolic ATP and polyphosphoinositides.
The uptake of [32P]phosphate by human, gel-filtered blood platelets and its incorporation into cytoplasmic ATP and polyphosphoinositides was studied. In unstimulated platelets, uptake was Na+o-dependent and saturable at approximately 20 nmol/min/10(11) cells with a half-maximal rate at 0.5 mM extracellular phosphate. Upon stimulation with thrombin or collagen, net influx of [32P]Pi was accelera...
