Nuclear matrices containing residual DNA were isolated from chicken erythrocytes after extraction of purified nuclei with buffered 2 M NaCl. After further purification of this residual DNA, it was found to contain high concentrations of beta-globin gene sequences as assayed by dot hybridization with 32P-labeled nick-translated pHB1001. Electron microscopy of a random sample of this residual DNA fraction shows the DNA to be intimately associated with protein at various intervals. A hypothesis for enrichment of active genes in residual DNA from purified chromatin or in nuclear matrix DNA is also discussed.
在用含缓冲液的2M氯化钠提取纯化细胞核后,从鸡红细胞中分离出含有残留DNA的核基质。对这种残留DNA进一步纯化后,通过与32P标记的缺口平移pHB1001进行点杂交分析发现,其含有高浓度的β-珠蛋白基因序列。对该残留DNA部分的随机样本进行电子显微镜观察,结果显示DNA在不同间隔处与蛋白质紧密相连。文中还讨论了从纯化染色质的残留DNA或核基质DNA中富集活性基因的假说。
