Abstract
Nuclear membranes from rat liver contain a phosphoprotein phosphatase activity capable of dephosphorylating endogenous nuclear membrane phosphoproteins. This activity was also expressed towards the 32P-labeled exogenous phosphoprotein substrates phosvitin and lysine-rich histone. Differential effects of altered ionic strength, EDTA, pyrophosphate, and 2-mercaptoethanol on the phosphatase activity towards the two exogenous substrates suggest the presence of multiple phosphatases in the nuclear membrane. ATP, ADP, and sodium fluoride inhibited activity towards both exogenous substrates, while cyclic AMP or cyclic GMP at 10-6M had no apparent effect.
