A novel nucleohistone particle is generated in high yield when a complex of DNA with the four core histones formed under conditions that are close to physiological (0.15 M NaCl, pH 8) is treated with micrococcal nuclease. The particle was found to contain 102 base pairs of DNA in association with six molecules of histones in the ratio 2H2A:2H2B:1H3:1H4 after relatively brief nuclease treatment....

A new sensitive two-dimensional quantitative J correlation experiment is described for measuring 3JH3'-P couplings in nucleic acids and protein-nucleic acid complexes. The method is based on measuring the change in intensity of the 1H-1H cross peaks in a constant-time 1H-1H COSY experiment which occurs in the presence and absence of 3JH3'-P dephasing during the constant-time evolution period. F...

The mechanism underlying the crosstalk between multiple G protein–coupled receptors remains poorly understood. We previously reported that prostaglandin E receptor EP1 facilitates dopamine D1 receptor signaling in striatal slices and promotes behavioral responses induced by D1 receptor agonists. Here, using human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293T cells expressing D1 and EP1, we have analyzed the mech...
