It was found that nucleoprotein particles formed after DNase I action on calf thymus chromatin contain single-stranded DNA fragments, associated with histones only by ionic linkages. These results suggest that histones in chromatin are bound ionically only to one polynucleotide strand of double-helical DNA, protecting it against nucleolytic attack.
研究发现,DNase I作用于小牛胸腺染色质后形成的核蛋白颗粒含有单链DNA片段,仅通过离子键与组蛋白结合。这些结果表明,染色质中的组蛋白仅通过离子键与双螺旋DNA的一条多核苷酸链结合,保护其免受核酸酶攻击。
