Abstract: | Giant nuclei from salivary glands of the midge Chironomus plumosus were treated in situ with 2M NaCl detergent and nucleases to reveal residual nuclear matrix proteins (NMP). It was shown
that, after the prestabilization of nonhistone proteins with 2 mM CuCl2, the polythene chromosome body preserved its morphologic integrity and banding pattern, even after the extraction of all
histones and DNA. The stabilized NPM of polythene chromosomes can be observed in both light and electron microscopy; no interchromatin
fibrillary-granular structures are revealed in the nucleus except for peripheral lamina. Using the immunocytochemical method,
in polythene chromosomes, we managed to detect major nonhistone proteins (topoisomerase IIα and SMC 1) and some RNA-components.
Besides, in giant nuclei of larvae of early stages there is observed BrDU incorporation visualizing sites of DNA synthesis,
which also are connected with NPM of polythene chromosomes. Thus, it can be concluded that structure of NPM of giant nuclei
of Chironomus plumosus has all properties of NPMs of usual interphase nuclei; furthermore, this NPM determines specific structure of the polythene
chromosome. |
