Low ionic strength extraction of nuclease-treated nuclei destroys the attachment of transcriptionally active DNA to the nuclear skeleton.

چکیده
We have studied how the conditions in which the nuclear matrix is isolated influence the association of transcribing DNA with the nuclear matrix. Extraction of nuclease-treated nuclei with a low ionic strength solution before a high salt nuclei with a low ionic strength solution before a high salt extraction completely abolishes this association. However, RNA removal by RNAase treatment does not affect the binding of transcribing DNA to the nuclear matrix. The nature of the association of active genes with the nuclear matrix is discussed.

Structure of active chromatin: higher-order folding of transcriptionally active chromatin in control and hypothyroid rat liver.
Investigation have been carried out into the salt-induced higher-order folding in the transcriptionally active chromatin region of rat liver nuclei by nuclease digestion, sedimentation and CD. The sensitivity of active chromatin in nuclei to micrococcal nuclease was suppressed by raising the ionic strength from 25 to 90 mM, indicating the occurrence of salt-induced condensation. The rate of sed...
متن کاملDNase I sensitivity of transcriptionally active genes in intact nuclei and isolated chromatin of plants.
We have investigated the DNase I sensitivity of transcriptionally active DNA sequences in intact nuclei and isolated chromatin from embryos of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Nuclei or isolated chromatin was incubated with DNase I, and the extent of DNA digestion was monitored as percentage acid solubility. The resistant DNA and DNA from sham-digested controls were used to drive reassociation rea...
متن کاملSuperstructural differences between chromatin in nuclei and in solution are revealed by kinetics of micrococcal nuclease digestion.
Digestion of chromatin in nuclei by micrococcal nuclease, measured as the change in the concentration of monomer-length DNA with time, displays Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Redigestion of soluble chromatin prepared from nuclei by micrococcal nuclease treatment, however, is apparently first order in enzyme and independent of chromatin concentration. This qualitative difference results from an incr...
متن کاملChromatin structure mapping in Saccharomyces cerevisiae in vivo with DNase I.
Most methods for assessment of chromatin structure involve chemical or nuclease damage to DNA followed by analysis of distribution and susceptibility of cutting sites. The agents used generally do not permeate cells, making nuclear isolation mandatory. In vivo mapping strategies might allow detection of labile constituents and/or structures that are lost when chromatin is swollen in isolated nu...
متن کاملHeat-shock proteins of Drosophila are associated with nuclease- resistant, high-salt-resistant nuclear structures
Proteins produced in cultured Drosophila cells during the heat-shock response (HSPs) were recently shown by autoradiography to be confined in large measure to the cell nucleus. We report here that nuclear HSPs are not associated with nucleosomes solubilizes by treatment with staphylococcal nuclease at low ionic strength nor are HSPs released by extraction with high salt, which solubilized most ...
