Dna-protein Binding in Interphase Chromosomes
The metachromatic dye, azure B, was analyzed by microspectrophotometry when bound to DNA fibers and DNA in nuclei with condensed and dispersed chromatin. The interaction of DNA and protein was inferred from the amount of metachromasy (increased beta/alpha-peak) of azure B that resulted after specific removal of various protein fractions. Dye bound to DNA-histone fibers and frog liver nuclei fix...
متن کاملVisualization of interphase chromosomes.
Using a modified Giemsa-banding technique we have observed what appear to be chromosomes during interphase in nuclei from Allium cepa root tips and Chinese hamster cells (CHO line). During telophase through G1 chromosomes progressively uncoil and decondense. During S chromosomes are comparatively decondensed, but some segments have structure similar to chromosomes in G1 and G2. During G2 the ch...
متن کاملEntropic organization of interphase chromosomes
Chromosomes are not distributed randomly in nuclei. Appropriate positioning can activate (or repress) genes by bringing them closer to active (or inactive) compartments like euchromatin (or heterochromatin), and this is usually assumed to be driven by specific local forces (e.g., involving H bonds between nucleosomes or between nucleosomes and the lamina). Using Monte Carlo simulations, we demo...
متن کاملPolymer models of interphase chromosomes
Clear organizational patterns on the genome have emerged from the statistics of population studies of fixed cells. However, how these results translate into the dynamics of individual living cells remains unexplored. We use statistical mechanics models derived from polymer physics to inquire into the effects that chromosome properties and dynamics have in the temporal and spatial behavior of th...
متن کاملViscoelasticity of model interphase chromosomes.
We investigated the viscoelastic response of model interphase chromosomes by tracking the three-dimensional motion of hundreds of dispersed Brownian particles of sizes ranging from the thickness of the chromatin fiber up to slightly above the mesh size of the chromatin solution. In agreement with previous computational studies on polymer solutions and melts, we found that the large-time behavio...
