Histone localization in polytene chromosomes by immunofluorescence
Polytene chromosomes of Chironomus thummi were treated with antisera elicited by purified calf thymus histone fractions, and the location of each histone type was visualized by the indirect immunofluorescence technique. Each of the antisera produced specific and distinct patterns of fluorescence, suggesting that it is possible to use the indirect immunofluorescence technique to study the in sit...
متن کاملLocalization of RNA polymerase in polytene chromosomes of Drosophila melanogaster.
RNA polymerase (RNA nucleotidyltransferase) B (or II) and histone H1 of Drosophila melanogster were localized on salivary gland polytene chromosomes using the indirect immunofluorescence technique. RNA polymerase B is present almost exclusively in puffs and interband regions, whereas histone H1 is found primarily in bands. The puff at region 3C, known to be transcriptionally active in larval sa...
متن کاملLocalization of ecdysterone on polytene chromosomes of Drosophila melanogaster.
Ecdysterone has been crosslinked in situ to polytene chromosomes of salivary glands of Drosophila melanogaster by photoactivation. The crosslinked hormone has been localized on the chromosomes by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy. At different developmental stages the hormone was detected at different chromosomal loci. These chromosomal sites correspond to ecdysterone-inducible puff sites....
متن کاملPolytene chromosomes in mouse trophoblast giant cells.
Mouse trophoblast giant cells undergo successive rounds of DNA replication resulting in amplification of the genome. It has been difficult to determine whether giant cell chromosomes are polyploid as in liver cells or polytene as in Dipteran salivary glands because the chromosomes do not condense. We have examined the pattern of hybridization of mouse giant cells with a variety of in situ chrom...
متن کاملLocations of Z-DNA in polytene chromosomes
In polytene chromosomes of Drosophila hydei and D. melanogaster, Z-DNA was identified in varying distribution after different conditions for fixation were used. When salivary glands were fixed and squashed in 50% acetic acid alone, Z-DNA was found in the less dense DNA regions, such as interbands, some puffs, and a few of the less dense bands. Prefixation that combined ethanol and acetic acid e...
