Low-molecular-weight peptides are linked to the chromatin DNA of several tissues, from which they can be dissociated by alkaline extraction at pH 9.5. The level of the active peptide fraction ranges between 10 and 35 μg/mg DNA. The removal of peptides from DNA causes a relevant amplification of DNA template capacity for prokaryotic and eukaryotic RNA polymerases. Gel filtration on Sephadex G-25 or BioGel P4 shows that the chromatin peptide fraction from purified DNA migrates as a sharp peak with an elution volume corresponding to a molecular weight of about 1000. The chromatin peptides are further purified by Sephadex G-10 and high-performance liquid chromatography. Four active fractions are isolated, one of which shows very high inhibition activity on the RNA synthesis in vitro. The amino acid analysis and the inhibition mechanism of the purified peptides are reported. 相似文献

Low molecular weight peptides controlling transcription are present in the calf thymus chromatin structure 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A calf thymus peptide fraction controlling DNA and chromatin template has been purified by DNA-cellulose and Dowex 50 WX2 chromatography and its amino acid composition determined. The active peptide fraction can be extracted in high pH buffer from calf thymus native chromatin previously deproteinized by chloroform-isamyl alcohol and phenol. These data demonstrate that the thymic peptide(s) is (are) a chromatin protein constituent strongly linked to DNA. The specificity in association of the peptide(s) to DNA has also been considered. 相似文献

Biotin-deficient rats show a slowing down of the growth and an involution of the thymus. The amount of the thymic peptides controlling DNA template, if referred to the thymus weight is higher in deficient than in control rats; no significant difference is noticed among the contents of the active peptides when evaluated per rat. The inhibiting activity on RNA synthesis is the same for the peptides extracted from normal and from biotin-deficient rat thymus. 相似文献

Regions of DNA protected by histones against the action of DNAse 1 in the chromatin were isolated. Such DNA fragments ("subhistones" DNA) have 80% double helix structure, their nucleotide composition is close to that of total DNA, and their sedimentation constant is within the range of 2-2.7S for completely denatured molecules. Kinetics of renaturation of "subhistone" DNA was studied: within a wide range of Cot values, renaturation curves of total and "subhistone" DNA are almost identical. According to the data on hybridization with nuclear d-RNA, "subhistone" DNA is transcribed in the cell. The data obtained witness for uniform character of distribution of histones along the DNA chain in the chromatin. DNA sites which are active in RNA synthesis seem to be bound to histones as well as the non-active ones. No significant difference was found in the hybridization of "subhistone" DNA from rat liver and thymus with ibver nuclear RNA. 相似文献

Low-molecular-weight peptides involved in gene expression and cell growth have been isolated from DNA preparation from eukaryotic cells. After phosphorylation with protein kinase CKII (pCKII) these peptides are able to bind to DNA in presence of divalent cations and salt/ethanol. This finding may explain the mechanism by which the peptides exert their activity. 相似文献

Specificity of transcription of chromatin in vitro 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Chromatin from duck erythrocytes was modified in vitro by the carcinogen N-acetoxy-N-2-acetylaminofluorene (N-Ac-O-AAF). The distribution of the carcinogen along the DNA molecule was studied using staphylococcal nuclease which allows the fractionation of chromatin DNA into two zones. It was shown that the carcinogen binds preferentially to the regions of chromatin sensitive to the enzyme; however, the regions of DNA tightly bound to histones and resistant to the enzyme react comparatively well. The single-strand specific nuclease S1 which digests DNA modified by the carcinogen in vitro did not digest chromatin under the conditions used. Some possible mechanisms for the interaction of the carcinogen with chromatin are discussed. 相似文献
