Abstract
ADP-ribosyltransferase activity has been characterized in free messenger ribonucleoprotein particles (mRNP) from mouse plasmacytoma cells. This enzymatic activity appears to be associated with the free mRNP and not due to nuclear contamination. The enzyme activity is not stimulated by added DNA or histone H1 and represents 34 per cent of the total cellular ADP-ribosyltransferase activity while the DNA contamination in free mRNP is less than 4 per cent of the total cellular DNA. Moreover, the ADP-ribosyltransferase specific activity per mg of DNA is about 75-fold higher in free mRNP than in the nuclei. During CsCl gradient centrifugation of the cytoplasmic fraction, the ADP-ribosylated material separates out at a buoyant density similar to that of free mRNP. This ADP-ribosyltransferase activity is inhibited by thymidine, nicotinamide and 3-aminobenzamide, while it is highly stimulated by exogenous pancreatic RNase. The in vitro synthesized acid insoluble material is rendered partly soluble by treatment by a proteolytic enzyme or by snake venom phosphodiesterase resulting in phosphoribosyl-AMP formation: the pancreatic RNase does not solubilize this material. Several ADP-ribosylated proteins are detected by lithium dodecylsulfate gel electrophoresis. Such an ADP-ribosyltransferase activity has also been detected in free mRNP from rat liver. It is suggested that this ADP-ribosylation of specific free mRNP proteins may be associated with free mRNP structure and/or with some chemical covalent type of modification rendering mRNA available for translation.

Abstract
A protein kinase activity with high specificity for histone H1 was isolated from mouse plasmacytoma, Morris hepatoma and normal mouse liver and compared by ion exchange chromatography after DEAE-cellulose, hydroxylapatite and Sephadex G-200 chromatography. This cAMP-independent histone H1 kinase is not affected by the heat-stable cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor. It has the following particular properties: it prefers GTP to ATP as substrate and was found to be present with a great activity only in neoplastic tissues. No phosphatase activity was detected in the partially purified histone H1 kinase fraction from normal and neoplastic cells. These results suggest either an increase amount of histone H1 kinase and/or of its activator in neoplastic cells, or the presence of a strong inhibitor in normal cells. This histone H1 kinase appears to be analogous to the chromatin bound kinase which phosphorylates histone H1 at the NH2 and COOH terminal regions. We might suggest an implication of this kinase in the regulation of cell division.

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
A protein kinase with high specificity for histone H1 was purified from a plasmacytoma microsomal fraction by a high-salt wash, ammonium sulfate precipitation, chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, hydroxyapatite and Sephadex G-200 columns, and the main properties of this kinase were studied. A sulfhydryl compound, such as 2-mercaptoethanol or dithiothreitol, was necessary for full activity. The optimum pH was 7.4-7.8. After purification, the histone H1 kinase was not stimulated by cAMP or cGMP. It was not inhibited by the heat-stable cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor from beef heart. It utilized preferentially GTP over ATP as phosphate donor. Km values for ATP and GTP were 58 microM and 1.4 microM respectively; the Km for histone H1 was 14 microgram ml-1. The molecular weight was approximately 90 000 by gel-exclusion chromatography. Analysis of the purified H1-specific protein kinase by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in dodecylsulfate showed two bands having molecular weights of approximately 64 000 and 54 000. Many characteristics of this kinase were similar to those of the chromatin-bound protein kinase reported by other workers in rapidly proliferating cells.

Abstract
A mechanism is proposed for the formation of Ebg-evolved beta galactosidase-of E. coli based on the following assumptions: 1. In the presence of lactose, certain proteins being translated bind to their m-RNA-ribosome complexes; 2. This binding interferes with the release of m-RNA from the bacterial chromosome, marking the gene; 3. Thereupon a cytosine specific methylase and methyl cytosine deaminase pair, modify - mutate - the marked gene; 4. The result, after five or so mutations, is a new gene capable of coding for a different protein which can split lactose; 5. I propose that this enzyme pair has evolved to produce mutations internally, when need arises, as is the case here; 6. This may be a general mechanism through which drug resistance and detoxification of a novel chemical, could be achieved in bacteria; 7. All of these ideas are experimentally testable.

Abstract
Information has been collected to stimulate interest regarding the nature and the possible role of mRNP protein phosphorylation in a cytoplasmic control mechanism for protein synthesis. It does not imply a direct relationship between mRNP protein and initiation factors. These proteins have some properties in common (e.g. molecular weight, phosphorylation, protein kinase, mRNA binding activity). We emphasize that some free mRNP may be translatable after modification of their protein by interference factors belonging to other cellular compartments. Thus, some mRNP proteins might possess initiation factor or protein synthetic activity if we accept Spirin's theory, i.e., "Eukaryotic messenger RNA and informosomes omnia mea mecum porto.

Abstract
In a previous report we described the use of oligo(dT)-cellulose for the isolation of mRNA-protein complexes from EDTA-dissociated polysomes extracted from normally growing or adenovirus infected KB-cells (I). Experiments presented here provide evidence that proteins involved in these complexes bind specifically to mRNA since: a) the proteins and mRNA cosediment through sucrose gradients, b) they adsorb and elute from oligo(dT)-cellulose together, and c) analysis of the products from ribonuclease digestion experiments show that the poly (A) end and a separate small fraction of the mRNA are resistant to the enzymes and attached to protein.

Abstract
A protein kinase, associated with free cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein particles (free dRNP) has been purified from mouse plasma cell tumours. This protein kinase is able to phosphorylate in vitro endogenous protein from free dRNP. Some characteristics of this protein kinase have been studied. This protein kinase behaves as being cyclic AMP independent. The properties of this protein kinase were compared with other protein kinases: soluble, ribosome-bound, and nuclear protein kinases. Although there are minor differences it is very similar to a ribosome-associated protein kinase from the plasma cell tumours.

Abstract
One ribosomal protein kinase activity and 3 soluble protein kinase activities have been identified in plasma cell tumors by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. We have shown phosphorylation in vivo and in vitro of a protein fraction from the ribosomal KCl wash which we have termed 'PPx fraction'. Phosphorylation of this protein fraction has been obtained in vitro with the ribosome-associated protein kinase. We have determined for the ribosomal protein kinase the following characteristics. 1. It is an Mg2+-dependent enzyme that transfers the gamma-phosphate from ATP into phosphoseryl and phosphothreonyl residues of the substrate. 2. It has a wide substrate specificity. Like the soluble protein kinases it catalyses the phosphorylation of several proteins like histone, phosvitin, casein and ribosomal proteins but it differs from the main soluble kinases (I, II) by the fact that it catalyses specifically the phosphorylation at least of one of the ribosomal KCl wash proteins. On dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gels this protein has a molecular weight of approximately 90000 and it is released from ribosomes under conditions commonly employed for extraction of initiation factors. 3. The ribosome-associated protein kinase is not stimulated by the addition of cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate. 4. KCl has no effect, NaCl has a weak effect on the phosphorylation, Mn2+ and Ca2+ are inhibitors. 5. ADP has been found to be a competitive inhibitor. 6. The maximum velocity of the ribosomal protein-kinase-catalysed reaction is 0.65 nmol of 32P incorporated in the KCl wash protein per min and per mg protein. 7. The apparent Km for the ribosomal KCl wash protein as substrate is 0.71 mg/ml and the Km for ATP is 94 muM. 8. The molecular weight of the ribosomal protein kinase, estimated by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide-dodecylsulfate gels, is 60000 and corresponds probably to a catalytic subunit.
