Abstract
Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 (GSK-3) was isolated from bovine heart tissue extracts by a procedure involving ammonium sulfate fractionation, followed by chromatography on phosphocellulose, Cibacron blue 3GA-agarose, DEAE-Sephacel, CM-Sepharose, heparin-agarose, myelin basic protein-Sepharose, and LiChrospher 1000 C00-. GSK-3 was identified by its activation of protein phosphatase-1i (PP-1i). The purified enzyme had a specific activity of 25,500 units of protein phosphatase-1i activated/mg protein. The enzyme is an asymmetric monomeric protein of 53 kDa. The molecular size and retention of activity after autophosphorylation indicated that the isolated enzyme was the GSK-3 alpha-isoform.
