New Histone Kinases in Nuclei of Rat Tissues

Abstract

THE presence of acid-stable phosphomonoesters, principally as phosphoserine, in histones has been reported by several investigators1–4, and histone kinases which phosphorylate serine in histones I and IV have been studied widely5–7. Many of the histone kinases studied are stimulated by cyclic AMP5,8.
