Abstract
The beta-subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF2 is a substrate and a partner for protein kinase CK2. Surface plasmon resonance analysis shows that the truncated form corresponding to residues 138-333 of eIF2beta (eIF2beta-CT) interacts with CK2beta as efficiently as full length eIF2beta, whereas the form corresponding to residues 1-137, which contains the CK2 phosphorylation sites, (eIF2beta-NT) does not bind. The use of different mutants and truncated forms of CK2alpha allowed us to map the basic segment K74-K83 at the beginning of helix alphaC and residues R191R195K198 in the p + 1 loop as the main determinants for the binding to eIF2beta-CT of either the isolated CK2alpha subunit or the CK2 holoenzyme. The presence of eIF2beta-CT stimulated the activity of CK2alpha towards the RRRAADSDDDDD peptide substrate; effect that was not observed with the CK2a K74-77A whose ability to bind to eIF2beta-CT is severely impaired. Gel filtration analysis confirmed the ability of CK2alpha to form complexes with eIF2beta-CT, and the contribution of the basic cluster in CK2alpha (K74-K77) in this association.

Abstract
Two ATP-competitive inhibitors-4,5,6,7-tetrabromo-benzotriazole (TBBt) and 4,5,6,7-tetrabromo-benzimidazole (TBBz) have been shown to decrease activity of CK2 holoenzyme. Surprisingly it occurs that TBBz contrary to TBBt does not inhibit free catalytic subunit CK2 [Formula: see text]. Both inhibitors are virtually inactive against RAP protein kinase. The above-mentioned protein kinases phosphorylate in vitro a set of acidic ribosomal P-proteins of the 60S ribosomal subunit. Such a modification is one of the mechanisms regulating translational activity of ribosomes in vivo. Application of these two very selective inhibitors allows us to define the role of free catalytic [Formula: see text] subunit of CK2 in phosphorylation of ribosomal proteins. It occurs that CK2 [Formula: see text] but not CK2 holoenzyme is responsible for phosphorylation of P-proteins in vivo. Moreover, elimination of both forms of protein kinase CK2 (hCK2 and CK2 [Formula: see text] ) activity in living cells led to dramatic loss of the translational activity of the ribosome.

Abstract
Maize (Zea mays L.) possesses four distinct approximately 12-kDa P-proteins (P1, P2a, P2b, P3) that form the tip of a lateral stalk on the 60 S ribosomal subunit. RNA blot analyses suggested that the expression of these proteins was developmentally regulated. Western blot analysis of ribosomal proteins isolated from various organs, kernel tissues during seed development, and root tips deprived of oxygen (anoxia) revealed significant heterogeneity in the levels of these proteins. P1 and P3 were detected in ribosomes of all samples at similar levels relative to ribosomal protein S6, whereas P2a and P2b levels showed considerable developmental regulation. Both forms of P2 were present in ribosomes of some organs, whereas only one form was detected in other organs. Considerable tissue-specific variation was observed in levels of monomeric and multimeric forms of P2a. P2b was not detected in root tips, accumulated late in seed embryo and endosperm development, and was detected in soluble ribosomes but not in membrane-associated ribosomes that copurified with zein protein bodies of the kernel endosperm. The phosphorylation of the 12-kDa P-proteins was also developmentally and environmentally regulated. The potential role of P2 heterogeneity in P-protein composition in the regulation of translation is discussed.

Abstract
With ribosomal P protein as a substrate, five peaks of protein kinase activity are eluted after chromatography of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae cellular extract on DEAE-cellulose. Two of them correspond to CK-II and the other three have been called RAP-1, RAP-II, and RAP-III. RAP-I was previously characterized. RAP-III is present in a very small amount, which hindered its purification. RAP-II was further purified on phosphocellulose, heparin-Sepharose, and P protein-Sepharose, studied in detail, and compared with other acidic protein kinases, including RAP-I, CK-II, and PK60. RAP-II is shown by SDS-PAGE and centrifugation on glycerol linear density gradients to have a molecular mass of around 62 kDa and it is immunologically different from RAP-I and PK60. RAP-II phosphorylates the P proteins in the last serine residue at the highly conserved carboxyl terminal domain as other P-protein kinases. The ribosome-bound stalk P proteins are not equally phosphorylated by the different kinases. Thus, RAP-II and PK60 mainly phosphorylate P1beta and P2alpha whereas RAP-I and CK-II modify all of them. A comparative study of the K(m) and V(max) of the phosphorylation reaction by the different kinases using individual purified acidic proteins suggests changes in the substrate susceptibility upon binding to the ribosome. All the data available reveal clear differences in the characteristics of the various P protein kinases and suggest that the cell may use them to differentially modify the stalk depending, perhaps, on metabolic requirements.

Abstract
The ribosomal stalk is directly involved in the interaction of the elongation factors with the ribosome during protein synthesis. The stalk is formed by a complex of five proteins, four small acidic polypeptides and a larger protein which directly interacts with the rRNA at the GTPase center. In eukaryotes the acidic components correspond to the 12-kDa P1 and P2 proteins, and the RNA binding component is the P0 protein. All these proteins are found phosphorylated in eukaryotic organisms, and previous in vitro data suggested this modification was involved in the activity of this structure. Results from mutational studies have shown that phosphorylation takes place at a serine residue close to the carboxy end of the P proteins. Modification of this serine residue does not affect the formation of the stalk and the activity of the ribosome in standard conditions but induces an osmoregulation-related phenotype at 37 degrees C. The phosphorylatable serine is part of a consensus casein kinase II phosphorylation site. However, although CKII seems to be responsible for part of the stalk phosphorylation in vivo, it is probably not the only enzyme in the cell able to perform this modification. Five protein kinases, RAPI, RAPII and RAPIII, in addition to the previously reported CKII and PK60 kinases, are able to phosphorylate the stalk proteins. A comparison of the five enzymes shows differences among them that suggest some specificity regarding the phosphorylation of the four yeast acidic proteins. It has been found that some typical effectors of the PKC kinase stimulate the in vitro phosphorylation of the stalk proteins. All the data suggest that although phosphorylation is not involved in the interaction of the acidic P proteins with the ribosome, it can affect the ribosome activity and might participate in a possible ribosome regulatory mechanism.

Abstract
Protein P0, an essential component of the eukaryotic ribosomal stalk, is found phosphorylated in the ribosome. Substitution of serine 302 in the amino acid sequence of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae P0 by either aspartic acid or cysteine abolishes in vitro and in vivo phosphorylation of the protein. On the contrary, the replacement of this serine by a threonine results in an increase in the protein phosphorylation under both sets of conditions. Therefore, this serine residue, which is part of a consensus casein kinase II modification site, SDDD, seems to be the phosphorylation site in protein P0. The effect of the mutations on the protein activity has been tested in S. cerevisiae W303dGP0 and D67dGP0, both of which carry a genomic P0 gene under the control of the GAL1 promoter. Transformation of the mutated genes in S. cerevisiae W303dGP0 allows cell growth at 30 degreesC in glucose-to repress the wild-type P0 expression-at the same rate as controls, and the ribosomes contain a normal amount of the other stalk components. A similar absence of effect of the mutations on growth was found in strain D67dGP0, which has ribosomes deprived of the P1 and P2 proteins. Therefore, P0 phosphorylation is not a requirement for ribosome activity in standard growth conditions either in the presence or in the absence of the other stalk proteins. However, a phenotypic effect is detected in the case of strain D67 transformed with the overphosphorylated threonine containing P0, which contrary to the wild-type and the other mutated proteins is unable to support cell growth at 37 degreesC in the presence of either 0.3 M NaCl or 0.8 M sorbitol. In vitro polymerizing tests indicate that this effect is not due to the thermosensitivity of the mutated protein. The results indicate that although P0 phosphorylation is not required for the overall ribosome activity, it may affect the expression of specific proteins involved in metabolic processes such as osmoregulation.

Abstract
A new protein kinase, showing a high specificity for the ribosomal acidic P proteins (RAP kinase) has been purified and characterized from Saccharomyces cerevisiae extracts. Purification was carried out by four chromatographic steps, including DEAE-cellulose, phosphocellulose, heparin-Sepharose and P protein-Sepharose. The purified enzyme preparation contains only one polypeptide of around 55 kDa as determined by SDS gel electrophoresis and gradient centrifugation. RAP kinase is different from all previous well-characterized kinases and does not show cross-reaction with antibodies to the 71 kDa 60S ribosomal subunit-specific kinase PK60 previously reported. The enzyme uses ATP as a better phosphate donor and is less sensitive to heparin than casein kinase II but is moderately affected by salt. Among the different substrates tested, ribosomal acidic proteins are preferentially modified by RAP kinase, which phosphorylates only serine residues in the four P proteins as well as the related ribosomal protein P0. Casein is phosphorylated at a much lower level. All the data indicate that RAP kinase might be the enzyme responsible for the phosphorylation of the P proteins, and in this way may also participate in a possible translational regulatory mechanism.

Abstract
Four ribosomal proteins of Mr 13 kDa, 15 kDa, 19 kDa and 38 kDa were identified as phosphorylation substrates for protein kinases tightly associated with Trichosporon cutaneum ribosomes. It was found that proteins of 13 kDa, 19 kDa and 38 kDa were phosphorylated by multifunctional casein kinase II while the protein of 15 kDa by casein kinase I. Proteins of 13 kDa and 38 kDa were detected in the large subunits while 15 kDa and 19 kDa in the small ribosomal subunits. By using isoelectrofocusing the protein of 13 kDa was resolved into two individual phosphorylated forms. The phosphorylation level of both forms was much higher in ribosomes from the cells collected at the exponential growth phase than in those from the stationary phase. The same phosphoprotein forms were identified in ribosomes from in vitro and in vivo [32P]-labelling experiments.

Abstract
Protein P0 together with proteins P1 and P2 form the stalk in eukaryotic ribosomes. P0 has a carboxyl-terminal domain about 100 amino acids long that has high sequence similar to the ribosomal proteins P1 and P2. By sequential deletion of this region, a series of Saccharomyces cerevisiae truncated P0 genes have been constructed that encode proteins lacking 21, 87, and 132 amino acids from the carboxyl terminus, respectively. These constructions have been used to transform yeast P0 conditional null mutants to test their capacity to restore cell growth. Removal of only the last 21 amino acids causes a small effect on cell growth in wild-type strains; however, this deletion is lethal in strains having P protein-deficient ribosomes. A P0 lacking 87 amino acids allows cell growth at a low rate, and ribosomes bind P proteins with much less affinity. Lastly, removal of 132 amino acids totally inactivates P0; this deleted protein is unable to bind to the particles, causing a deficiency in active 60 S subunits and making the cell nonviable. These results indicate that at least one out of the five protein P-like carboxyl termini present in the ribosome has to be firmly bound to the particle for protein synthesis and cell viability, and this structure can be provided by protein P0. The part of P0 from around positions 230-290 is important for the interaction of proteins P1/P2 with the ribosome, but it is not essential for protein synthesis. Finally, the region including from residues 185 to 230 is required for the interaction of P0 with the rRNA.

Abstract
Two major ribosomal proteins of Mr 13 kDa and 38 kDa were identified as phosphorylation substrates for ribosome-bound protein kinases from different yeast species. The phosphorylation level was much higher in ribosomes from the cells collected at the exponential growth phase, than in those from the stationary phase. Isoelectrofocusing of the protein band of 13 kDa and subsequent silver staining allowed to identify from four in the case of Pichia stipitis up to ten in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Saccharomycodes Ludwigii, Torulopsis utilis and Kloeckera apiculata individual peptides. In the most of the yeast species studies five phosphorylated peptides were observed. However, only one or two such phosphopeptides were detected in Pichia stipitis and Trichosporon cutaneum ribosomes, respectively. The same phosphoprotein forms were identified in the in vivo 32P-labelling experiments.

Abstract
cDNA clones encoding three antigenically related human ribosomal phosphoproteins (P-proteins) P0, P1, and P2 were isolated and sequenced. P1 and P2 are analogous to Escherichia coli ribosomal protein L7/L12, and P0 is likely to be an analog of L10. The three proteins have a nearly identical carboxy-terminal 17-amino-acid sequence (KEESEESD(D/E)DMGFGLFD-COOH) that is the basis of their immunological cross-reactivity. The identities of the P1 and P2 cDNAs were confirmed by the strong similarities of their encoded amino acid sequences to published primary structures of the homologous rat, brine shrimp, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae proteins. The P0 cDNA was initially identified by translation of hybrid-selected mRNA and immunoprecipitation of the products. To demonstrate that the coding sequences are full length, the P0, P1, and P2 cDNAs were transcribed in vitro by bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase and the resulting mRNAs were translated in vitro. The synthetic P0, P1, and P2 proteins were serologically and electrophoretically identical to P-proteins extracted from HeLa cells. These synthetic P-proteins were incorporated into 60S but not 40S ribosomes and also assembled into a complex similar to that described for E. coli L7/L12 and L10.

Abstract
The phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6 in fibroblasts, primary human tumour cells, established and SV40-transformed human cell lines was compared after the addition of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA). In fibroblasts and primary tumour cell cultures, stimulation of S6 phosphorylation was about 4-6-fold. Established and transformed cell lines showed enhanced S6 phosphorylation which was not further stimulated by the addition of TPA. These findings indicated that the influence of TPA on the metabolic pathway, that finally leads to the phosphorylation of protein S6 in cells with a limited lifespan (fibroblasts, primary human tumour cells) can be mimicked by unknown steps also associated with immortalization (establishment function) and the transformed state of the tumour cells. Another interesting observation were morphological changes of the established and SV40-transformed cells which were visible as early as 20 min after the addition of TPA. In fibroblasts and primary tumour cells no changes in morphology were observed, even after 8h incubation.

Abstract
A cyclic nucleotide-independent protein kinase which phosphorylates preferentially acidic proteins such as casein or phosvitin was isolated from cytosol of chick duodenal mucosa. The enzyme was purified more than 633 fold to apparent homogeneity by ammonium sulfate fractionation, column chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, phosphocellulose, hydroxylapatite and by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The native enzyme has a molecular weight of 131 000 as measured by gel filtration. The enzyme is a complex protein containing three polypeptides of molecular weight of 39 000, 36 000 and 27 000. It behaves as a complex throughout its purification and gel filtration but its components are readily separated by electrophoresis in denaturing buffer. The 27 000 molecular weight band was selectively autophosphorylated when the enzyme was incubated in the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP. When casein was used as substrate, physiological concentrations of naturally occurring polyamines such as spermine and spermidine markedly stimulated enzyme activity. However with phosvitin as substrate polyamines were strong inhibitors of the enzyme activity. This contrasting effect on intestinal kinase activity was also apparent using cytoplasmic proteins as endogenous phosphate acceptors. A characterization of this differential effect is presented and some possible physiological implications are discussed.

Abstract
In free messenger ribonucleoprotein particles (mRNP) and polysomes from plasmacytoma cells, a phosphorylated protein/protein kinase system has been characterized by a combination of oligo(dT)-cellulose chromatography and CsCl isopycnic gradient centrifugation. The presence phosphorylated in vivo has been detected in both types of particles. Endogenous protein phosphorylation occurs in vitro by particle-associated cAMP-independent protein kinase(s) using [gamma-32P]ATP and [gamma-32P]GTP. These kinases are sensitive to hemin action. Analysis of mRNP proteins by gel electrophoresis and autoradiography showed strong analogies between the phosphorylation patterns obtained in vivo and in vitro, suggesting a substrate specificity for the associated enzymes. The phosphorylated proteins have been compared to initiation factors and ribosomal proteins. We have partially purified the cAMP-independent protein kinase activities responsible for the endogenous phosphorylation in free mRNP and polysomes; two activities were identified in free mRNP whereas three activities were found to be associated with polysomes.

Abstract
Electrofocusing of the acidic proteins extracted from Saccharomyces cerevisiae ribosomes shows the presence of eight bands in the gels, which upon treatment with alkaline phosphatase are reduced to three. Two of them, proteins L44 and L45, correspond to the proteins equivalent to the bacterial L7 and L12 and the third, protein Ax, behaves like a supernatant factor. In the ribosome, proteins L44 and L45 are found unphosphorylated and monophosphorylated while protein Ax is detected mostly in a modified state, showing from one to three phosphate groups per molecule. In the cytoplasm where protein Ax is abundant and proteins L44 and L45 are present in small quantities, the three proteins are unphosphorylated. Protein Ax, having one or two phosphate groups, can be removed from the ribosomes in conditions that release the initiation factors, while the triphosphorylated molecules are tightly bound to the particles. The data indicate a relationship between the degree of phosphorylation of protein Az and its affinity for the ribosome.

Abstract
Phosphorylation of eukaryotic ribosomal proteins in vitro by essentially homogeneous preparations of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit and cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase was compared. Each protein kinase was added at a concentration of 30nM. Ribosomal proteins were identified by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Almost identical results were obtained when ribosomal subunits from HeLa or ascites-tumour cells were used. About 50-60% of the total radioactive phosphate incorporated into small-subunit ribosomal proteins by either kinase was associated with protein S6. In 90 min between 0.7 and 1.0 mol of phosphate/mol of protein S6 was incorporated by the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. Of the other proteins, S3 and S7 from the small subunit and proteins L6, L18, L19 and L35 from the large subunit were predominantly phosphorylated by the cyclic AMP-dependent enzyme. Between 0.1 and 0.2 mol of phosphate was incorporated/mol of these phosphorylated proteins. With the exception of protein S7, the same proteins were also major substrates for the cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase. Time courses of the phosphorylation of individual proteins from the small and large ribosomal subunits in the presence of either protein kinase suggested four types of phosphorylation reactions: (1) proteins S2, S10 and L5 were preferably phosphorylated by the cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase; (2) proteins S3 and L6 were phosphorylated at very similar rates by either kinase; (3) proteins S7 and L29 were almost exclusively phosphorylated by the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase; (4) protein S6 and most of the other proteins were phosphorylated about two or three times faster by the cyclic AMP-dependent than by the cyclic GMP-dependent enzyme.

Abstract
Eucaryotic L7/L12-type proteins are present in ethanol/salt extracts (P1 protein) of ribosomes from Artemia salina and rat liver. These proteins are partially phosphorylated and occur in two forms of closely related structure: a major form eL12 having methionine at the N-terminal position and a minor form of eL12 (eL12') which seems slightly elongated and contains a blocked N terminus. Purification of the four different forms of this protein, eL12, eL12-P, eL12' and eL12'-P, was performed by ion-exchange chromatography on carboxymethyl-cellulose and DEAE-cellulose. Using a radioimmuno assay, 1.8 copies of eL12 and 0.9 of eL12' were found on the 80-S A. salina ribosome. In ribosomes of both rat liver and A. salina, eL12 is present in a larger quantity than eL12'. 40-S and 60-S ribosomal subunits extracted with ethanol/salt were essentially free of eL12 proteins. A large pool of eL12 was found in the cytosol after removal of the ribosomes by centrifugation or molecular sieving. The proteins of rat liver and A. salina are similar with regard to their isoelectric points and molecular weights. Sedimentation equilibrium studies indicated that the isolated protein eL12 occurs as a dimer.

Abstract
Electrophoresis of ribosomal proteins according to Kaltschmidt and Wittmann, 1970a, b (pH 8.6/pH 4.5 urea system) yielded 29 proteins for the small subunits and 35 and 37 proteins for the large subunits of Krebs II ascites and HeLa ribosomes, respectively. Analysis of the proteins according to a modified technique by Mets and Bogorad (1974) (pH 4.5/pH 8.6 SDS system) revealed 28 and 29 proteins in the small subunits and 37 and 38 proteins in the large subunits of Krebs II ascites and HeLa ribosomes. The molecular weights of the individual proteins were determined by: 1. "three-dimensional" gel electrophoresis; 2. two-dimensional gel electrophoresis at pH 4.K/pH 8.6 in SDS. The molecular weights for 40S proteins ranged from 10,000 to 39,000 dalton (number average molecular weight: 21,000). The molecular weights for the 60S proteins ranged from 14,000 to 44,000 dalton (number average molecular weight: 23,000) using the "three-dimensional" technique. A molecular weight range from 10,000 to 38,000 dalton (number average molecular weight: 21,000) was obtained for the 40S subunits, whereas the molecular weights for the 60S ribosomal proteins (average molecular weight: 26,000) ranged from 12,000 to 69,000 dalton using the pH 4.5/pH 8.6 SDS system. The molecular weights Krebs II ascites and HeLa ribosomal proteins are compared with those obtained by other authors for different mammalian species.
