Abstract:
Nuclear proteins have been fractionated into five distinct classes according to their extractability from rat liver nuclei at different pH and salt concentrations. The fractions have been analyzed for their amino acid composition which shows the presence of NG, NG-dimethylarginine, in sizable amount, in non-histone nuclear proteins (NHNP). This modification is most prominent in proteins which are found associated with rapidly-labeled heterogeneous RNA (HnRNP proteins).
