Abstract: | Digestion of chromatin DNA in nuclei of sea urchin embryos with pancreatic nuclease and with micrococcal nuclease give additional details concerning the interaction between DNA and histones. A specific site of hydrolysis appears to be located on the nucleosome in such a position as to split the DNA unit length in two equivalent fragments of about 60–70 base pairs in length. The complete digestion of chromatin DNA appears to depend on the low stability of the nucleosome containing the split DNA fragments. |
