[Interactions of non-histone proteins with immobilized components of chromatin].

The specific interaction between non-histone proteins (NHP) of rat thymus and the dextran-immobilized components of chromatin has been investigated. DNA's from E. coli and rat thymus, total histone and reconstituted nucleohistone were used as the affinity sorbents. The distribution of protein fractions in the NHP groups dissociated from chromatin with different ionic strengths was studied by binding on the columns and by SDS-PAAG-electrophoresis. It is shown that NHP of chromatin include the protein components with selective affinity to nucleohistone. These results are discussed in connection with the different functions of NHP in chromatin.
