The Distribution of Newly Synthesized Dna in Mitotic Division
نویسندگان
چکیده
The chromosomes of Crepis capillaris were labelled with thymidine-2-C(14) in their DNA fraction. Quantitative analysis of the distribution of newly synthesized DNA in postmetaphase stages of the division following the period of label incorporation led to the conclusion that the new DNA is not necessarily equally distributed by the mitotic process and that, therefore, chromosome duplication does not involve the equal partition of parental DNA. The implications of these findings with respect to DNA duplication are discussed. An attempt is made to translate the pattern of new DNA distribution into a probable number of units of synthesis per chromosome.

Some natural compounds of plants including phenols and alkaloids induce mitosis depressive that are blocked cell division. Field dodder (Cuscuta campestris Yunck.) and eastern dodder (Cuscuta monogyna Vahl.) are the most widespread obligatory parasitic species. In the present study, end of summer 2015, field dodder and eastern dodder are collected from Alhagi maurorum Medik. host and Vine (Viti...
متن کاملCytokinesis blocked micronucleus (CB-MN) assay for biodosimetry of high dose accidental exposure
Background: Most of the cytogenetic dosimetry, except Premature Chromosome Condensation assay, saturates at 6 Gy. Present studies are aimed to assess feasibility of simple CB-MN assay for prescreening of high dose accidental exposures. Materials and Methods: Human peripheral blood lymphocytes from two donors were gamma irradiated to different doses ranging from 0-15Gy, cultured for 72 h. Cytoch...
متن کاملThe Effect of Rotation Speed on the Microstructure and Hardness of Synthesized Al-WC Nano-Composite by Centrifugal Casting
The aim of this work was WC distribution in base Al-Si-Mg (A356) alloy as reinforcing agent. WC Solid particles in the sub-23-nm size range added to melted alloy by centrifuge casting. The cylinder tube without gap was obtained. FESEM and OPM results show that the distribution depends upon the rotational speeds of the mould and centrifugal casting conditions. According to the MAP results, durin...
متن کاملReplication-uncoupled histone deposition during adenovirus DNA replication.
In infected cells, the chromatin structure of the adenovirus genome DNA plays critical roles in its genome functions. Previously, we reported that in early phases of infection, incoming viral DNA is associated with both viral core protein VII and cellular histones. Here we show that in late phases of infection, newly synthesized viral DNA is also associated with histones. We also found that the...

Rationale: Cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) in the adult heart are used for cell-based treatment of myocardial damage, but factors determining stemness, self-renewal, and lineage commitment are poorly understood. Immortal DNA strands inherited through asymmetric chromatid segregation correlate with self-renewal of adult stem cells, but the capacity of CPCs for asymmetric segregation to retain im...
