Preliminary characterization of chelation-sensitive nucleoprotein particles
Nucleoprotein particles (B2), isolated following digestion of calf thymus chromatin with micrococcal nuclease, are resolved on a non-chelating Bio-Gel A-5m column. B2 protein electrophoresis showed the presence of several H1 species and several nonhistone proteins but was depleted in core histones....

Zusammenfassung: | Nucleoprotein particles (B2), isolated following digestion of calf thymus chromatin with micrococcal nuclease, are resolved on a non-chelating Bio-Gel A-5m column. B2 protein electrophoresis showed the presence of several H1 species and several nonhistone proteins but was depleted in core histones. DNA electrophoresis demonstrated that native B2 DNA has a length of about 46 base pairs. On DNA sequencing gels, the length distribution of denatured B2 DNA ranged from 12 to 35 bases with a weighted average chain length of about 26 bases. Depletion of a 20 base band in B2 DNA suggested specific protection of internucleosomal DNA sites during the nuclease digestion. |
