The beta-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin, purified immunochemically to eliminate undissociated human chorionic gonadotropin, induced testosterone production by mouse Leydig cells at concentrations 400-fold higher than human chorionic gonadotropin. Steroidogenesis was also stimulated by a synthetic fragment of the beta-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin conforming to the peptide sequence residues 39–71, whereas peptide sequence residues 39–56 and three C-terminal fragments (residues 115–145, 111–145 and 101–145) failed to cause steroidogenesis. These studies suggest the presence in the beta-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin of determinants recognized by the tissue receptors, a part of these determinants residing between amino acid residues 57–71.

Cloned cDNAs encoding both subunits of Drosophila melanogaster casein kinase II have been isolated by immunological screening of lambda gt11 expression libraries, and the complete amino acid sequence of both polypeptides has been deduced by DNA sequencing. The alpha cDNA contained an open reading frame of 336 amino acid residues, yielding a predicted molecular weight for the alpha polypeptide of 39,833. The alpha sequence contained the expected semi-invariant residues present in the catalytic domain of previously sequenced protein kinases, confirming that it is the catalytic subunit of the enzyme. Pairwise homology comparisons between the alpha sequence and the sequences of a variety of vertebrate protein kinase suggested that casein kinase II is a distantly related member of the protein kinase family. The beta subunit was derived from an open reading frame of 215 amino acid residues and was predicted to have a molecular weight of 24,700. The beta subunit exhibited no extensive homology to other proteins whose sequences are currently known.
