Abstract

Phosphoprotein pp 135 is one of the dominant proteins endogenously phosphorylated in cellular sonicates during short-time exposure to [gamma-32P]ATP. Mouse cells growing exponentially show the highest pp 135 level as determined by endogenous phosphorylation and immunobinding assays. Disruption of cells in the absence of calcium at low magnesium concentration renders more than 90% pp 135 into the cytosolic fraction. A five-step purification yields greater than 95% pure pp 135. The cellular location of pp 135 was determined with a rat anti-(mouse pp 135) serum by immunofluorescence in mouse cell lines and cryostat sections of normal mouse tissue. We observed fluorescence predominantly of nucleolar structures, confirmed by studies of isolated nuclei and nucleoli. Cross-reacting nucleolar phosphoproteins were identified in cell lines of other species with molecular masses of 128 kDa (human), 135 kDa (hamster) and 118 kDa (Drosophila). Endogenous phosphorylation of pp 135 investigated with purified mouse nucleoli showed optimal activity at isotonicity, pH 7.3, in the presence of 10 mM magnesium ions.
