The effects of cyclic nucleotides and insulin on the phosphorylation patterns of nuclear proteins were investigated by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis following incubation of livar nuclei isolated from normal fed rats with (γ-^(32)P] ATP. Both c-AMP and c-GMP increased markedly the phosphorylation levels of nucleoplasmic proteins with molecular weights above 53,000 daltons while little change was observed with insulin. The effect of c-GMP was much greater than that of c-AMP. On the other hand, cyclic nucleotides and insulin somewhat inhibited rather phosphorylation of nuclear proteins tightly bound to chromatin such as histones and phenol soluble non-histone proteins.
