The three protein kinases of Lemna paucicostata that are separable by DEAE-Sephacel chromatography have been designated PI, PII and PIII [Kato et al. (1983) Plant & Cell Physiol. 24: 841]. The optimum pH for the PI and PII enzymes was 7.5 and for the PHI enzyme 7.0. The activities of these enzymes were stimulated by divalent cations, the maximum stimulation being produced by 5 nw Mg2 $ for PI, by 3 mM Co2 $ for PII and by 1 mM Mn2 $ for PIII. The cytokinins; benzyladenine, kinetin and zeatin, inhibited the activity of the PIII enzyme. The molecular weights of the PI and PII enzymes did not change after incubation with cAMP even though their activities were regulated by this compound.
