Beryllium toxicity. The selective inhibition of casein kinase 1.

1. Cyclic AMP-independent casein kinase 1 in liver cytoplasm and nuclei was inhibited by Be2+ in vitro (Ki 2.5 microM and 29 microM respectively). Casein kinase 2 (phosvitin kinase) and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase were unaffected. 2. The inhibition of casein kinase 1 by Be2+ was competitive with respect to the protein substrate; at non-saturating concentrations of casein, inhibition was non-competitive with respect to ATP. 3. In rats given LD50 doses of Be2+ 24 h before death, the activities of cytoplasmic and nuclear casein kinase 1 in livers from partially hepatectomized animals were diminished approx. 50%; with intact rats, nuclear casein kinase 1 was inhibited at concentrations of casein less than the Km.
