Abstract

An M-phase-specific histone H1 kinase (H1K) has been described in a wide variety of eukaryotic cell types undergoing the G2/M transition in the cell division cycle. We have used p13suc1-Sepharose affinity chromatography to purify H1K to near homogeneity from matured starfish oocytes. A yield of 67% was obtained. Active H1K behaves as a 90- to 100-kD protein and appears to be constituted of equimolar amounts of cyclin and p34cdc2. The p34cdc2 subunit becomes tyrosine-dephosphorylated as the H1K is activated during entry of the oocytes into M phase, whereas the cyclin subunit is reciprocally phosphorylated. Acid phosphatase treatment of inactive p34cdc2/cyclin complex induces p34cdc2 dephosphorylation and three- to eightfold stimulation of the enzyme activity. These results suggest that active M-phase-specific H1K is constituted of both dephosphorylated p34cdc2 and phosphorylated cyclin.
