The rate of RNA synthesis and its inhibition by α-amanitin in the nuclei of mature and immature avian erythrocytes are increased
with the increase in ionic strength of incubation medium. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicates that heterogeneous
species of RNAs are synthesised in the mature and immature erythrocyte nuclei. However, a large number of high molecular weight
RNAs are synthesised in the nuclei of immature erythrocytes. Elution profiles on poly(U)-sepharose chromatography indicate
that the RNAs synthesised in the nuclei of two types of cell contain poly(A) segments. Sixteen per cent of mature erythrocyte
nuclear RNA syntbesised are polyadenylated, while it is 13% in immature erythrocyte nuclei. However, the total RNA synthesised
is 2–3 fold higher in immature erythrocyte nuclei than that in mature erythrocyte nuclei. 相似文献

DNA-protein cross-linkages were formed in intact nuclei of chicken erythrocytes and liver cells by the action of cis-diammine dichloroplatinum (II). Most cross-linked proteins were components of the nuclear matrix, and their heterogeneity reflected the different complexity of liver and erythrocytes matrices, respectively. Some basic proteins, including histones, were also cross-linked, particularly in erythrocyte nuclei. South-Western blotting revealed that a variety of proteins isolated from the cross-linked liver nuclei recognized DNA specifically. In this group of proteins two relatively abundant, acidic, species of 38 and 66 kDa, respectively, might represent novel DNA-binding proteins from the nuclear matrix. In the case of erythrocytes, only the basic proteins showed a DNA-recognition capacity, and among them there were some unidentified species, absent from liver. Lamin B2 was cross-linked but was unable to recognize DNA, and the same was true for other abundant, cross-linked proteins from both types of nuclei. This led to the hypothesis that for some DNA-nuclear matrix interactions the aggregation typical of matrix proteins is essential for the specificity of DNA recognition. Hybridization analysis of the DNA isolated from the cross-linked complexes showed that SARs (scaffold attachment regions) and telomeric sequences were well represented in the cross-linked fragments, that the cross-linked DNA of liver was partially different from that of erythrocytes and that two defined SAR sequences were found to be present only in the cross-linked DNA. These results are in agreement with the present views on DNA-nuclear matrix interactions, which are usually studied on isolated nuclear matrices or purified proteins. Instead, our results provide experimental evidence obtained directly from intact nuclei. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Chicken histone H5 is an H1-like linker histone that is expressed only in nucleated erythrocytes. The histone H5 promoter has binding sites for Sp1 (a high affinity site) and UPE-binding protein, while the 3′ erythroid-specific enhancer has binding sites for Sp1 (one moderate and three weak affinity), GATA-1, and NF1. In this study we investigated whether trans-acting factors that bind to the chicken histone H5 promoter or enhancer are associated with adult chicken immature and mature erythrocyte nuclear matrices. We show that NF1, but not Sp1, GATA-1, or UPE-binding protein, is associated with the internal nuclear matrices of these erythroid cells. Further, we found that a subset of the NF1 family of proteins is bound to the mature erythrocyte nuclear matrix. These results suggest that in chicken erythrocytes NF1 may mediate an interaction between the histone H5 enhancer and the erythroid internal nuclear matrix. NF1 was also present in the internal nuclear matrices of chicken liver and trout liver. The observations of this study provide evidence that NF1 may have a role in a variety of cell types in targeting specific DNA sequences to the nuclear matrix. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Polyclonal antibodies have been raised against a nonhistone protein (MENT) which has been previously shown to be associated with the repressed chromatin of mature chicken erythrocytes and to promote the in vitro condensation of chromatin of immature erythrocyte nuclei. Here we report that the expression pattern of MENT closely follows chromatin condensation in maturing arian erythrocytes of definitive and primary lineages. Accumulation of MENT correlates more strongly with chromatin condensation than does accumulation of histone H5. In addition to being present in erythrocytes, the protein was also found in neutrophil nuclei and an immunofluorescence reaction was observed with embryonic (nucleated) thrombocytes. MENT was not detected in other chicken tissues (brain, liver, testis). In intact erythrocytes, MENT immunofluorescence was found in foci close to the nuclear periphery, while in isolated, decondensed nuclei, the fluorescence signal was uniformly distributed. In neutrophil nuclei, containing approximately 10 times more MENT than adult erythrocytes, intense staining associated with the peripheral heterochromatin was observed. These findings are discussed in regard to a possible mechanism for chromatin condensation by MENT. 相似文献

RNA Synthesis in Chicken Erythrocytes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
CHICKEN erythrocyte nuclei were reported not to synthesize RNA1 and consequently have been used to study reactivation of nuclear synthesis2–4. In some ducks, however, mature erythrocyte nuclei continue to synthesize some RNA5–7 and we have found that the erythrocytes of adult chickens synthesize substantial amounts of RNA. We have found none in which the erythrocytes have no synthetic activity. 相似文献

The mass ratio of nuclear non-histone protein: DNA in the immature circulating erythroid cells of phenylhydrazine-induced anaemic Xenopus is approximately threefold higher than in mature erythrocytes. This is largely due to the presence of increased amounts of low and intermediate molecular weight proteins in the nuclei of the immature cells. There are a few qualitative differences in the components of this class of proteins between the mature and immature cells, the most notable of which is the presence of a protein of molecular weight approximately 115000 in the former which is not detectable in the latter. These changes are discussed in relation to the changing synthetic capacities of cells and to certain generalizations about the function of the nuclear non-histone protein based on studies of other differentiating systems. 相似文献

The immunofluorescence and immunoperoxidase techniques have been applied to erythrocytes from the periferal blood of beta thalassemia patients, coated with rabbit anti human erythrocyte membrane antibodies. Enhanced staininh has been found in a number of mature and immature red blood cells, as well as the presence of plasma proteins sticking to the surface of the erythrocytes. 相似文献

Intact nuclei were isolated in high yield from enriched fractions of immature and mature guinea pig granulocytic leukocytes. These nuclei were used to determine whether any changes in synthesis and content of nuclear proteins accompany the striking increase in chromatin condensation and the nuclear lobation which occur during granulocyte maturation. The results indicate that the synthesis of nuclear proteins and the nuclear RNA content decrease markedly during granulocyte maturation. The incorporation of l-[U-14C]leucine into the acid-soluble histone-rich fraction of chromatin from immature cells is about 25 times that of mature cells, and the incorporation into the acid-insoluble, nonhistone proteins of chromatin from immature cells is about 6 times that of mature cells. It appears that there is very little quantitative change with respect to the protein components of nuclei from immature and mature granulocytic leukocytes. No significant differences in the amounts of histone, nonhistone protein, or phosphoprotein between nuclei of immature and mature granulocytes could be detected. No major differences in gel electrophoretic patterns of histones or nonhistone proteins could be detected. The fact that the amount of the chromatin proteins remains relatively constant during cell maturation in spite of the pronounced decrease in the rate of synthesis suggests that the rate of turnover of these proteins decreases significantly as the maturation of granulocytic leukocytes proceeds. 相似文献

The synthesis of the nuclear acidic proteins in immature and mature avian erythroid cells was compared. Synthesis of these proteins was found to occur in both types of cells. However, there are quantitative and qualitative differences in incorporation of labelled amino acids into the electrophoretic patterns of these proteins. There was an overall decline in the specific activity of the proteins as erythrocyte maturation proceeds. In particular, one protein band of molecular weight 81,000 is predominantly synthesizied in the immature cells but not in the mature cells. 相似文献

When fused with mouse L-cell cytoplasts, chick erythrocyte nuclei enlarge, take up proteins from the host cytoplasm, and recommence RNA synthesis. We found that during this transition the erythrocyte nuclei gain an internal nuclear matrix, thus providing a novel approach to questions concerning the nature of the salt-resistant intranuclear skeleton. A new method for preparation and examination of the nuclear matrix in situ is also described. 相似文献

The adult chicken erythrocyte nucleus was found to lack an internal nuclear matrix: even milder extraction procedures resulted in the production of empty shells of pore complex-lamina together with loose aggregates of core histone. In contrast, rat liver nuclei showed a typical intranuclear salt-resistant skeleton. These results show that an internal matrix is not an obligatory nuclear component, and is not required for the spatial organization of chromatin. 5-day-old embryonic erythrocytes did, however, contain an interchromatinic nuclear matrix, suggesting a correlation between the presence of matrix structures, and nuclear 'activity'. 相似文献

AbstractDNA-protein crosslinks were measured in peripheral blood lymphocytes of chrome-platers and controls from Bulgaria in order to evaluate a genotoxic effect of human exposure to carcinogenic Cr(VI) compounds. Chrome-platers and most of the unexposed controls were from the industrial city of Jambol; some additional controls were recruited from the seaside town of Burgas. The chrome-platers had significantly elevated levels of chromium in pre- and post-shift urine, erythrocytes and lymphocytes compared with the control subjects. The largest differences between the two groups were found in erythrocyte chromium concentrations which are considered to be indicative of Cr(VI) exposure. Despite the significant differences in internal chromium doses, levels of DNA-protein crosslinks were not significantly different between the combined controls and exposed workers. Individual DNA-protein crosslinks, however, correlated strongly with chromium in erythrocytes at low and moderate doses but at high exposures, such as among the majority of chrome-platers, these DNA adducts were saturated at maximum levels. The saturation of DNA-protein crosslinks seems to occur at 7–8 μg I-1 chromium in erythrocytes whereas a mean erythrocyte chromium among the chrome platers was as high as 22.8 μg l?1. Occupationally unexposed subjects exhibited a significant variability with respect to the erythrocyte chromium concentration, however erythrocyte chromium levels correlated closely with DNA-protein crosslinks in lymphocytes. The controls from Jambol had higher chromium concentrations in erythrocytes and elevated levels of DNA-protein crosslinks compared with Burgas controls. Occupational exposure to formaldehyde among furniture factory workers did not change levels of DNA-protein crosslinks in peripheral lymphocytes. DNA-protein crosslink measurements showed a low intraindividual variability and their levels among both controls and exposed indivduals were not affected by smoking, age or weight. 相似文献

Taking advantage of the effects on DNA secondary structure of two DNA-intercalators,ethidium bromide and chloroquine,we used each of them to treat nuclei from both mature erythrocytes and reticulocytes of chicken,as an alternative approach to study the relationships between DNA secondary structure,nuclear proteins and chromatin structure.We presented results of differential extraction of nuclear proteins from nuclei with DNA-intercalators,as well as preliminary characterization of these proteins.A 45kd protein is the major component in fractions extracted by both intercalators from nuclei from either mature erythrocytes or reticulocytes and seems to be a DNA-binding protein.Furthermore,from current concepts of functional aspects of DNA conformation and structural heterogeneity in chromatin and nuclear proteins,we have discussed both the significance of our results as well as technical aspects of this approach. 相似文献
