Discrimination between the activity of protein kinase CK2 holoenzyme and its catalytic subunits.

abstract：:Liver microsomes contain a vitamin K and O2-dependent carboxylase that converts peptide-bound glutamyl residues to gamma-carboxyglutamate residues. The peptide Boc-O-phospho-Ser-O-phospho-Ser-Leu-OMe has now been synthesized. This peptide inhibits the carboxylation of endogenous protein precursors by a detergent-solub...
