The ability of the high group proteins (HMG-1, 2, 14 and 17) to serve as substrate for protein kinases was investigated by incubating them with a cytoplasmic and nuclear kinase. In both cases phosphate was incorporated into all four HMG proteins. The amount of phosphate incorporated and the specificity for the four proteins was quite different for the two kinases. Whereas the cytoplasmic kinase...
