Abstract: | A new method was developed to separate mono- and oligo-(ADP-ribose) with chain lengths below 11 ADP-ribose units by size difference of one ADP-ribose residue. The separation was performed on a DEAE-cellulose column by elution with a NaCl gradient (0–0.3 ) in the presence of 7 urea at pH 7.6. Using this method, the chain length distribution of oligo(ADP-ribose) molecules attached to histones by incubation of isolated nuclei with radioactive NAD was determined. The average chain length estimated from this distribution coincided exactly with the value obtained by the phosphodiesterase digestion method, suggesting that the oligomers were synthesized directly on histones and not elongated from pre-existing ADP-ribose. |
