Changes in calcium-dependent protein kinase activity during in vitro tuberization in potato

A soluble Ca2+-dependent protein kinase (CDPK) was purified to homogeneity in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) plants. Potato CDPK was strictly dependent on Ca2+ (one-half maximal activation 0.6 μM) and phosphorylated a wide diversity of substrates, in which Syntide 2 was the best phosphate acceptor (M...
