Abstract: | Chromatin was prepared from the buds and cotyledons of Alaskapea seedlings. The dissociated chromosomal components in thepresence of 2 M NaCl and 5 M urea were completely fractionatedinto DNA and proteins with a Bio-Gel A50 column. The proteinswere recovered by (NH4)2SO4 and further fractionated into histonesand non-histone proteins using a Bio-Rex 70(Na+) column. Thedifference in the ratios of histones to non-histone proteinsbefore and after chromatography with the Bio-Rex 70 was lessthan 10%. The histones and non-histone proteins thus preparedshowed typical protein absorption spectra. Polyacrylamide gelelectrophoresis of histones showed that the histone compositionsin buds and cotyledon were similar, but the amount of HI histoneswas a little less in cotyledons than in buds. Unlike histones,non-histone proteins fractionated by SDS-polyacrylamide gelelectrophoresis indicated distinct differences between the twotissues. Buds had more heterogeneous non-histone proteins, atleast 13 polypeptides, than cotyledons did. On the other hand,non-histone proteins of cotyledons showed less heterogeneityand lacked proteins of high molecular weight which were foundin buds. (Received May 6, 1976; ) |
