A group of low molecular weight protein substrates was found to co-purify with casein kinase II from broccoli (Brassica oleracea var italica). These substrates showed very high affinity toward casein kinase II and were efficiently phosphorylated even in the presence of an excess of exogenous substrates. The broccoli substrates were purified from cytosolic extracts as a double band of related proteins migrating at 18.7 and 20 kD. Further microheterogeneity was revealed by anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectroscopy. The actual molecular masses of the three major components identified by mass spectroscopy were determined to be 12,691, 13,256, and 14,128 D. The substrates showed characteristic amino acid composition with a high content of polar amino acids, including about 20% each of acidic and basic amino acids. They were soluble in 2% trichloroacetic acid. The substrates cross-reacted with an antibody against wheat high-mobility group protein d (HMGd) but not HMGa. The isolated broccoli HMGs showed general DNA-binding activity without preference for AT-rich DNA. The presence of these HMG proteins in the cytosolic fraction is similar to the distribution characteristics of the animal HMG-1 subgroup. On the basis of amino acid composition and DNA-binding specificity, the isolated broccoli HMGs resemble other plant HMGs homologous to the HMG-1 subgroup.
