Structure of chromatin. DNA not complexed with protein.

چکیده
Rat liver chromatin was titrated by poly-D-lysine of mol.wt. 140,000. Approximately 32% of the phosphate groups of the chromatin were found to react with the polycation. By submitting the chromatin-poly-D-lysine complex to pronase and DNase I digestion and by further submitting the obtained DNA-lysine complex to hydroxy-apatite-chromatography, “free” DNA was isolated. The mean S-value of this DNA was found to be 10 ± 0 .8 , corresponding to approximately 2100 nucleo tide pairs, its renaturation kinetics similar to total DNA. On the basis of these results and on the findings that histone-saturated DNA-histone recombinates are digested with DNase I up to 65% a model of chromatin structure was proposed, taking into account protein coveredand free DNA regions.

جداسازی پروتئین LMG از بافت کبد موش و میانکنش آن با
ABSTRACT In eukaryote cells, DNA is complexed with a series of basic proteins making units of chromatin structure named nucleosomes. In addition, nonhistone proteins with different function are the components of chromatin. Among these proteins, a group with a low mobility on gel electrophoresis have been identified and named LMG. In this study a LMG protein with a molecular weigh of 160 ...
متن کاملEtiology and Evaluation of Sperm Chromatin Anomalies
Evidence suggests that human sperm chromatin anomalies adversely affect reproductive outcomes and infertile men possess substantially amount of sperm with chromatin anomalies than fertile men. Routine semen analysis evaluates parameters such as sperm motility and morphology, but does not examine the nuclear DNA integrity of spermatozoa. It has been suggested that altered nuclear chromatin struc...

In this study the effect of a methylated derivative of nitrogen mustard (mechloroethamin) on solubilized and reconstituted chromatin was investigated using UVNis spectroscopy, DNA and SDS gel electrophoresis and densitomeoic scanning techniques, The results indicated that the 210 and 260 nm absorbances of reconstituted chromatin were decreased in a dose-dependent manner after treatment wit...
متن کاملRoles of Chromatin insulators in gene regulation and diseases
With advances in genetic science, the dynamic structure of eukaryotic genome is considered as basis of gene expression regulation. Long-distance communication between regulatory elements and target promoters is critical and the mechanisms responsible for this connection are just starting to emerge. Chromatin insulators are key determinants of proper gene regulation and precise organization of c...
متن کاملP-48: Evaluation of Sperm ChromatinStructure in Patients with Partial Globozoospermia
Background: Globozoospermia is an uncommon disorder of sperm morphology associated with severe male infertility. Patients who contain both normal and round-headed sperm are called partial globozoospermic. It is possible that round-headed sperm may have an abnormal chromatin structure and /or DNA strand breaks. Moreover, sperm DNA fragmentation and protamine deficiency is shown to be associated ...
متن کاملThe effect of aspirin on the interaction of histone 05 and 05-DNA
The linker histones (H1 or H5) which play a key role in the folding of chromatin, are general repressors of gene expression. Nuclei of the mature chicken erythrocytes (and in some mammalian cells) contain both of them. Although the interaction of H5 with DNA is stronger than that of H1, it does not prevent the transcription of some erythroid-specific genes. It has been shown that some modificat...
