abstract：:Ribosomal protein S6 phosphorylation is stimulated by a variety of hormones and growth factors. In mammalian cells the predominant S6 kinase is a 70 kDa enzyme which exists in two forms differing only in their amino terminal region. To determine whether this difference is functionally significant we have examined the ...
