Abstract
Summary
Phosphoprotein phosphatase activity in the calf thyroid was found in various subcellular fractions. The relative amount in each fraction varied according to the substrate used: The 500g fraction had the highest specific activity when protamine was used, while the 5000g fraction was highest when histone was used. Triton X-100 tended to increase activity in all the particulate fractions, the greatest change being found in the 105,000g pellet. DEAE chromatography of the 105,000g supernatant resolved at least three peaks of phosphoprotein phosphatase activity.
We thank Mr. J. Czarnecki for his able technical assistance.
