Abstract
Acidic ribosomal P-proteins form, in all eukaryotic cells, a lateral protuberance, the so-called 'stalk', which is directly involved in translational activity of the ribosomes. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells, there are four distinct P-proteins: P1A, P1B, P2A and P2B. In spite of the high level of their structural homology, they are not completely equivalent and may perform different functions. As yet, the protein-protein interactions between yeast P-proteins have not been fully defined. In this paper, the interplay between yeast P-proteins has been investigated by means of a two-hybrid system, chemical cross-linking and gel filtration. The data presented herein show that all P-proteins are able to form homo-oligomeric complexes. By analyzing hetero-interactions, we were able to detect strong interactions between P1A and P2B proteins. Additionally, the pair of P1B and P2A proteins is also able to form a hetero-complex, though at a very low efficiency. All P-proteins are phosphorylated by numerous protein kinases. Using the multifunctional protein kinase CK II, we have shown that incorporation of phosphate into P1A protein can exert its effect on the hetero-oligomerization process, namely by preventing the formation of the hetero-oligomer P1A-P/P2B. These findings are the first to show differences in the oligomerization behavior of the yeast P-proteins; moreover, they emphasize a significant impact of the phosphorylation on the formations of P-protein complex.

Abstract
The yeast acidic ribosomal P-proteins YP1alpha, YP1beta, YP2alpha and YP2beta were studied for a possible transactivation potential beside their ribosomal function. The fusions of P-proteins with the GAL4 DNA-binding domain were assayed toward their transcriptional activity with the aid of reporter genes in yeast. Two of the P-proteins, YP1alpha and YP1beta, exhibited transactivation potential, however, only YP1alpha can be regarded as a potent transactivator. This protein was able to transactivate a reporter gene associated with two distinct promoter systems, GAL1 or CYC1. Additionally, truncated proteins of YP1alpha and YP1beta were analyzed. The N-terminal part of YP1alpha fused to GAL4-BD showed transactivation potential but the C-terminal part did not. Our results suggest a putative extraribosomal function for these ribosomal proteins which consequently may be classified as "moonlighting" proteins.

Abstract
The surface acidic ribosomal proteins (P-proteins), together with ribosomal core protein P0 form a multimeric lateral protuberance on the 60 S ribosomal subunit. This structure, also called stalk, is important for efficient translational activity of the ribosome. In order to shed more light on the function of these proteins, we are the first to have precisely analyzed mutual interactions among human P-proteins, employing the two hybrid system. The human acidic ribosomal P-proteins, (P1 or P2,) were fused to the GAL4 binding domain (BD) as well as the activation domain (AD), and analyzed in yeast cells. It is concluded that the heterodimeric complex of the P1/P2 proteins is formed preferentially. Formation of homodimers (P1/P1 and P2/P2) can also be observed, though with much less efficiency. Regarding that, we propose to describe the double heterodimeric complex as a protein configuration which forms the 60 S ribosomal stalk: P0-(P1/P2)(2). Additionally, mutual interactions among human and yeast P-proteins were analyzed. Heterodimer formation could be observed between human P2 and yeast P1 proteins.

Abstract
The 60S ribosomal subunits from Saccharomyces cerevisiae contain a set of four acidic proteins named YP1alpha, YP1beta, YP2alpha, and YP2beta. The genes for each were PCR amplified from a yeast cDNA library, sequenced, and expressed in Escherichia coli cells using two expression systems. The first system, pLM1, was used for YP1beta, YP2alpha, and YP2beta. The second one, pT7-7, was used for YP1alpha. Expression in both cases was under the control of a strong inducible T7 promoter. The amount of induced recombinant proteins in the host cells was around 10 to 20% of the total soluble bacterial proteins. A new protocol for purification of all four recombinant proteins was established. The preliminary steps of purification were done by ammonium sulfate precipitation (YP1alpha, YP1beta) or NH4Cl/ethanol extraction (YP2alpha, YP2beta). The recombinant proteins were then purified to apparent homogeneity by only two steps of classical chromatographies, ion exchange (DEAE-cellulose) and gel filtration (Sephacryl S-200). Isoelectrofocusing analysis of YP2alpha and YP2beta showed the pIs of the recombinant proteins are the same as that of the native yeast ribosomal P2 proteins. The pI of YP1alpha is changed due to the addition of five amino acids attached to the N-terminus of recombinant polypeptide from the expression vector. YP1beta was obtained as a truncated form of polypeptide, similar to its ribosomal counterpart, YP1beta'. This was proved by isoelectrofocusing gel analysis.

Abstract
The phosphorylation sites of ribosomal acidic proteins (P proteins) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae were studied in vivo and in vitro by using CK-2, PK60S and RAP protein kinases. The three enzymes phosphorylate the last serine residues located in a highly conserved carboxyl end of the polypeptide chains. This was established by two-dimensional analysis of tryptic phosphopeptides from 32P-labelled proteins YP1 alpha, YP1 beta, YP2 alpha and YP2 beta, and by kinetic studies of the protein kinases with synthetic peptides corresponding to the fragments of endogenous ribosomal acidic polypeptides. In experiments with both endogenous P proteins and synthetic peptides as substrates protein kinase PK60S demonstrated unusual substrate specificity. In contrast to CK-2 and RAP protein kinases, PK60S phosphorylates predominantly two of the four P proteins, YP1 alpha and YP2 beta, with kinetic constants dependent on the primary structure of the N-terminal region of the polypeptide containing the target residue. The neutral amino acid, alanine, at position 3 in the peptide AAEESDDD (polypeptide fragments of YP1 beta and YP2 alpha) decreases the K(m) value more than 10-fold by comparison with the basic lysine residue at the same position in the peptide AKEESDDD (polypeptide fragments of YP1 alpha and YP2 beta).

Abstract
Several halogeno benzimidazoles and 2-azabenzimidazoles, previously shown to be relatively selective inhibitors of protein kinases CK-I and/or CK-II from various sources, including CK-II from yeast [Szyszka et al. (1995) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 208, 418-424] inhibit also the yeast ribosomal protein kinase PK60S. The most effective inhibitor of CK-II and PK60S was tetrabromo-2-azabenzimidazole ](TetraBr-2-azaBz), which was competitive with respect to ATP (and GTP in the case of CK-II) with Ki values of 0.7 microM for CK-II, and 0.1 microM for PK60S PK60S phosphorylates only three (YP1 beta', YP2 alpha) out of five polypeptides of pp13 kDa acidic proteins of 60S subunit phosphorylated by CK-II [Szyszka et al. (1995) Acta Biochim. Polon. 42, 357-362]. Accordingly, TetraBr-2-azaBz inhibits phosphorylation only of these polypeptides, catalysed by PK60S . Addition of TetraBr-2-azaBz to cultures of yeast cells, at concentrations which were without effect on cell growth, led to inhibition of intracellular phosphorylation of ribosomal acidic proteins, paralleling that observed in vitro. TetraBr-2-azaBz is shown to be a useful tool for studies on the intracellular regulation of phosphorylation of the ribosomal 60S acidic proteins, which are involved in formation of active ribosomes.

Abstract
The native 80S ribosomes isolated from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain W303) cells was phosphorylated by two endogenous protein kinases: multifunctional casein kinase-2 (CK-2) and specific 60S kinase. Three acidic proteins within the 60S ribosomal subunit: YP1 beta, YP1 beta' and YP2 alpha are phosphorylated by both kinases. The other two proteins: YP1 alpha and YP2 beta are predominantly phosphorylated by CK-2 but not by 60S kinase. This was confirmed in the experiment with the recombinant protein, YP2 beta, as a substrate, which is practically not phosphorylated by specific 60S kinase. These results together with the previous data based on the target amino-acid sequences suggest that, in addition to the multifunctional casein kinase-2 and specific 60S kinase, there exist probably other protein kinase(s) which phosphorylate the ribosomal acidic proteins in the cell.

Abstract
Several halogeno benzimidazole riboside inhibitors of animal and plant protein kinases CK I and CK II (also known as casein kinases I and II), were found to be effective inhibitors of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CK II, but not of the 27-kDa CK.I or the 45-kDa CK I. The previously reported 5,6-dichloro-2-azabenzimidazole, which preferentially inhibits plant CK II relative to CK I, discriminates even more effectively between the yeast CK I and CK II enzymes. Two new analogues, tetrahalogeno-2-azabenzimidazoles, are even more potent inhibitors of CK II and much less so of CK I from yeast and animal sources. All inhibitors are competitive with respect to ATP (and GTP with CK II), the two latter with Ki values in the range 0.2-0.6 microM for CK II from yeast and mammalian sources.

Abstract
Kinetic studies on the 60S protein kinase were conducted with synthetic peptides and ribosomal proteins as substrate. Peptide RRREEESDDD proved to be the best synthetic substrate for this enzyme. The peptide has a sequence of amino acids which most closely resembles the structure of potential phosphorylation sites in natural substrates, i.e., acidic ribosomal proteins. The superiority of certain kinetic parameters for 60S kinase obtained with the native whole 80S ribosomes over those of the isolated fraction of acidic ribosomal proteins indicates that the affinity of 60S kinase to the specific protein substrate not only depends on the structure of the polypeptide chain around the target amino acid but also on its native structure within the 80S ribosome.

Abstract
A protein kinase, specific for 60S ribosomal proteins, has been isolated from Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells, purified to almost homogeneity and characterized. The isolated enzyme is not related to other known protein kinases. Enzyme purification comprised three chromatography steps; DEAE-cellulose, phosphocellulose and heparin-Sepharose. SDS/PAGE analysis of the purified enzyme, indicated a molecular mass of around 71 kDa for the stained single protein band. The specific activity of the protein kinase was directed towards the 60S ribosomal proteins L44, L44', L45 and a 38 kDa protein. All the proteins are phosphorylated only at the serine residues. None of the 40S ribosomal proteins were phosphorylated in the presence of the kinase. For that reason we have named the enzyme the 60S kinase. An analysis of the phosphopeptide maps of acidic ribosomal proteins, phosphorylated at either the 60S kinase or casein kinase II, showed almost identical patterns. Using the immunoblotting technique, the presence of the kinase has been detected in extracts obtained from intensively growing cells. These findings suggest an important role played by the 60S kinase in the regulation of ribosomal activity during protein synthesis.

Abstract
cDNA encoding the casein kinase II (CKII) subunits alpha and beta of human origin were expressed in Escherichia coli using expression vector pT7-7. Significant expression was obtained with E. coli BL21(DE3). The CKII subunits accounted for approximately 30% of the bacterial protein; however, most of the expressed proteins were produced in an insoluble form. The recombinant CKII alpha subunit was purified by DEAE-cellulose chromatography, followed by phosphocellulose and heparin-agarose chromatography. The recombinant CKII beta subunit was extracted from the insoluble pellet and purified in a single step on phosphocellulose. From 10 g bacterial cells, the yield of soluble protein was 12 mg alpha subunit and 5 mg beta subunit. SDS/PAGE analysis of the purified recombinant proteins indicated molecular masses of 42 kDa and 26 kDa for the alpha and beta subunits, respectively, in agreement with the molecular masses determined for the subunits of the native enzyme. The recombinant alpha subunit exhibited protein kinase activity which was greatest in the absence of monovalent ions. With increasing amounts of salt, alpha subunit kinase activity declined rapidly. Addition of the beta subunit led to maximum stimulation at a 1:1 ratio of both subunits. Using a synthetic peptide (RRRDDDSDDD) as a substrate, the maximum protein kinase stimulation observed was fourfold under the conditions used. The Km of the reconstituted enzyme for the synthetic peptide (80 microM) was comparable to the mammalian enzyme (40-60 microM), whereas the alpha subunit alone had a Km of 240 microM. After sucrose density gradient analysis, the reconstituted holoenzyme sedimented at the same position as the mammalian CKII holoenzyme.

Abstract
A type-2 casein kinase (YCK-2), lacking the 25-kDa autophosphorylatable beta subunit characteristic of animal casein kinases-2, has been obtained in a nearly pure form from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and was compared with liver casein kinase-2 (LCK-2). A 22-kDa phosphorylatable protein, copurifying with YCK-2, can be removed by ultracentrifugation at low ionic strength and is shown by several criteria to be unrelated to the beta subunit of LCK-2. The native Mr of YCK-2, deprived of the 22-kDa phosphoprotein, is about 150 000. Limited proteolysis experiments show that YCK-2 included 37-kDa catalytic subunits, which can be converted into still active 35-kDa proteolytic derivatives. These data are consistent with a homotetrameric quaternary structure as opposed to the heterotetrameric subunit composition alpha 2 beta 2 of LCK-2 and other animal casein kinases-2. Although many properties of YCK-2 and LCK-2, including substrate specificity, inhibition by heparin, polyglutamic acid and quercetin and stimulation by polyamines, are similar; their stability under denaturing and dissociating conditions and their response to polybasic peptides are quite different. In particular YCK-2 is more readily denatured than LCK-2 by heating and exposure to urea, sodium dodecylsulphate and deoxycholate while its activity is inhibited by 100-150 mM NaCl, which conversely stimulates LCK-2 activity 2-3-fold. The Km value of the synthetic peptide substrate Ser-(Glu)5 for YCK-2 is not significantly changed by the addition of polylysine. On the contrary the Km value of the same peptide substrate for LCK-2 decreases approximately tenfold upon addition of polylysine, which also prevents the fast autophosphorylation of the kinase at its beta subunit. These data suggest that the beta subunit of animal CK-2 may play a role in determining both the stability of the enzyme and its regulation and that, consequently, the different properties of YCK-2 may be at least in part accounted for by its lack of beta subunits.

Abstract
A protein kinase (casein kinase 1A) active on casein and phosvitin but not on histones has been purified to near homogeneity from yeast cytosol and meets most criteria for being considered a type-1 casein kinase: it is a monomeric enzyme exhibiting an Mr of about 27 kDa by sucrose gradient centrifugation: it is not affected by inhibitors of type-2 casein kinases, such as heparin and polyglutamate, and shows negligible affinity for GTP. It also readily phosphorylates the residue Ser-22 of beta-casein located within the sequence -Ser(P)-Ser(P)-Ser(P)-Glu-Glu-Ser22-Ile-Thr-Arg- which is typically affected by casein kinases of the first class. On the other hand, casein kinase 1A displays the unusual property of phosphorylating threonine residue(s) in both whole casein and alpha s1-casein. The threonine residue phosphorylated in alpha s1-casein and accounting for most of the 32P incorporated into this protein by casein kinase 1A has been identified as Thr-49, which occurs in the sequence -Ser(P)-Glu-Ser(P)-Thr(P*)49-Glu-Asp-Gln-, whose two Ser(P) residues are already phosphorylated in the native protein. It is concluded that some type-1 casein kinases can also phosphorylate threonine residues provided they fulfil definite structural requirements, probably an acidic cluster near their N-terminal side.

Abstract
An enzyme fraction containing phosphatase activity for phosphorylated eukaryotic peptide initiation factor 2 (eIF-2) has been isolated from rabbit reticulocytes and partially characterized. The enzyme efficiently catalyzes release of phosphate from the small subunit of eIF-2 (eIF-2 alpha) that has been phosphorylated by the hemin-controlled repressor. It is shown to restore activity of this phosphorylated eIF-2 for binding of methionyl-tRNAf to 40 S ribosomal subunits in a partial reaction of peptide initiation. The enzyme fraction also has phosphatase activity for eIF-2 phosphorylated in its largest subunit and for the 100,000-dalton peptide associated with the eIF-2 alpha kinase activity of the hemin-controlled repressor. The phosphoprotein phosphatase has been isolated by a procedure involving precipitation with ethanol at room temperature and has an apparent molecular weight in the order of 76,000. Its phosphatase activity for eIF-2 alpha is stimulated about 3-fold by optimal concentrations of Mn2+, but is not stimulated by Ca2+ or Mg2+. The enzyme is strongly inhibited by Fe2+ and by purine nucleoside diphosphates.

Abstract
The results of a series of experiments are interpreted to indicate that protein synthesis in reticulocyte lysates is not affected by the reticulocyte cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The catalytic subunit of this enzyme was isolated to apparent homogeneity. Also, the protein inhibitor of this protein kinase was isolated from muscle. Neither physiological concentrations of cAMP nor any of these protein components had a detectable effect on protein synthesis in reticulocyte lysates in the presence or absence of exogenous heme. Phosphorylation of the smallest subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 or the 90,000 to 100,000-dalton peptide associated with eukaryotic initiation factor 2 kinase activity were not affected by the activity of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase under conditions in which exogenous heme has a pronounced effect on these reactions.

Abstract
Three fractions of protein kinase from postribosomal supernatant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, active in phosphorylation of casein, were resolved on DEAE-cellulose. Two of these fractions: protein kinase 1 and protein kinase 3, were further purified about 1000 and 1800-fold respectively. The kinase 1 appeared to exist as a monomer with a molecular weight of 50 000 and utilized only ATP as phosphoryl donor. The protein kinase 3 was an aggregated form of enzyme with a molecular weight of above half a million and used both ATP and GTP for protein phosphorylation. Both isolated enzymes showed variations in respect to Michaelis constants, and inhibitory effects exerted by monovalent cations and nucleotide phosphates. The activity of the kinases was not affected by the presence of cAMP (adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate) or cGMP, however, only protein kinase 1 appeared to be a cAMP nucleotide-independent enzyme. Despite these differences both enzymes equally phosphorylated two strongly acidic proteins of the 60-S ribosome subunit, possibly related to L7, L12 of Escherichia coli.

Abstract
A protein kinase specific for casein and acidic ribosomal proteins was isolated and partly characterized. It was found that the enzyme utilizes GTP and ATP as phosphoryl donors. Its affinity for ATP was considerably higher than for GTP with the km values of 7.6 X 10(-6)M and 5.5 X 10(-5)M, respectively. Two-dimensional acrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed the phosphorylation of the same ribosomal proteins with either of the [gamma-32P] nucleotides used. It was also shown that one acidic protein (S1 or S2) of 40 S and two acidic proteins (L2 and L3) of 60 S ribosomal subunits were predominantly phosphorylated in vitro. The phosphorylated proteins: L2 and L3 seem to correspond to the proteins of L7 and L12 of E. coli ribosomes. The isolated kinase phosphorylated several basic ribosomal proteins though to a lower extent than the acidic ones.
