Properties of an acidic histone-binding protein fraction from cell nuclei. Selective precipitation and deacetylation of histones F2A1 and F3.

چکیده
Calf thymus nuclei contain a histone-binding protein which specifically deacetylates histone Fractions F2Al and F3 by a hydrolytic cleavage of E-N-acetyllysyl residues. The protein has been purified over 500-fold by a combination of exclusion chromatography and isoelectric focusing techniques. It is acidic, as judged by its amino acid composition, and by its isoelectric point (pH 4.5). The protein contains tryptophan and is phosphorylated. Its molecular weight is estimated at 150,000 to 160,000. Histone-binding studies show that the isolated acidic protein selectively precipitates Histones F2Al and F3, both of which are substrates for the deacetylase activity. The isolated phosphoprotein attaches to chromatin fractions in vitro.

متن کاملElectrophoretic analysis of liver and testis histones of the frog Rana pipiens
Histones were extracted from frog livers and testes and analyzed by electrophoresis on long polyacrylamide gels and on sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-containing polyacrylamide gels. Frog histones were found to be similar to those of calf thymus except that frog histone fraction F2A2 showed a marked dependence on the temperature at which the long gels were run, and frog histone fraction F3 could b...
متن کاملMechanism of action of gonadotropin. I. Evidence for gonadotropin-induced modifications of ovarian nuclear basic and acidic protein biosynthesis, phosphorylation, and acetylation.
The time course of chorionic gonadotropin stimulation of nuclear basic and acidic protein biosynthesis, phosphorylation, and acetylation as well as DNA biosynthesis in ovaries of immature rats has been investigated. After injection of radioactive precursor and chorionic gonadotropin into immature rats, ovarian histone fractions Fl, FZal, F2a2, F2b, and F3 were isolated by selective acid extract...
متن کاملPost-translational changes of histones, methylation level, and ERβ protein level in the cumulus cell genome of infertile women with endometriosis
Background: Endometriosis (which affects up to 50% of infertile women) is one of the major causes impacting female infertility. Endometriosis, defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine tissue, causes a wide range of functional disorders in the process of follicular development and changes in the follicular milieu, resulting in the formation of an incompetent o...
متن کاملGlutaraldehyde Fixation of Isolated Eucaryotic Nuclei
Isolated chicken erythrocyte nuclei have been incubated with dilute concentrations of the bifunctional cross-linking agent glutaraldehyde (0-20 mM) in order to stabilize histone-histone interactions within the native nucleus. The kinetics of the disappearance of acid-soluble histones, free amino groups, and of individual histones have been observed to be pseudo first-order. Apparent first-order...
