DEAE-Sephacel chromatography of soluble liver nuclear protein kinases treated with CAMP. Nuclear proteins (12 mg) were applied to a DEAE-Sephacel column (0.9 x 30 cm) equilibrated with buffer B. After the column was washed, the first elution was carried out with 50 ml of 70 mM NaCl and lo-'M CAMP, followed by the second elution with 100 ml of a linear concentration gradient of NaCl (70 - 600 mM), and 2 ml fractions were collected. To establish CAMP-binding activity, nuclear proteins were loaded on to the column in the presence of 1 nmole of [3H] CAMP (37 mCi/mmole).
