The inhibition of histone and endogenous protein
phosphorylation by syntide-2. Syntide-2 was added to in vitro substrate
phosphorylation assays carried out without (A) or with (B) 25
μm histone. The samples were precipitated with 10% TCA
and processed for SDS-PAGE and autoradiography. C, Phosphorylation
levels from the 70- and 40-kD endogenous substrate bands and histone
was assessed by cutting sections of the gel that corresponded to bands
on the autoradiograph, and counting duplicate samples in a
scintillation counter. Results are typical of two independent
experiments. ▪, Histone; ♦, 70 kD; ▴, 40 kD.
