We describe an approach, using alkaline cell lysis and digestion with nuclease S1, which permits to distinguish between newly ligated DNA and the DNA of mature chromatin. When cells with steady-state labelled DNA (mature DNA) are analyzed, the results show labelled "nucleosomal-sized" DNA. However, when DNA of cells pulse-labelled with thymidine for 45 seconds is examined one can detect only large DNA. The newly ligated DNA is not reduced to "nucleosomal-sized" DNA by nuclease S1. When the large DNA is denatured in formamide one can detect 10 kb DNA fragments. Furthermore in pulse-chase experiments there appear, after formamide-treatment, increasing amounts of "nucleosomal-sized" DNA with a parallel decrease in the amount of 10 kb DNA fragments. Hence the newly ligated, large, DNA differs from mature DNA and represents a distinct stage during DNA replication.
我们描述了一种方法,即使用碱性细胞裂解和核酸酶S1消化,该方法能够区分新连接的DNA和成熟染色质的DNA。当分析具有稳态标记DNA(成熟DNA)的细胞时,结果显示出标记的“核小体大小”的DNA。然而,当检查用胸苷脉冲标记45秒的细胞的DNA时,只能检测到大型DNA。新连接的DNA不会被核酸酶S1降解为“核小体大小”的DNA。当大型DNA在甲酰胺中变性时,可以检测到10 kb的DNA片段。此外,在脉冲追踪实验中,经过甲酰胺处理后,“核小体大小”的DNA量增加,同时10 kb DNA片段的量平行减少。因此,新连接的大型DNA与成熟DNA不同,代表了DNA复制过程中的一个独特阶段。
