Using a membrane filter assay, we have obtained results from both kinetic and competition experiments indicating that histones bind more strongly to bromodeoxyuridine-substituted DNA than to normal DNA. At 37 degrees C in our standard buffer of 0.2 M ionic strength, the rate of dissociation of histones H1, H2, and h4 from BrdU-substituted DNA is respectively 7, 4, and 2 times slower than it is from normal DNA. Competition experiments show an even greater difference between BrdU-substituted and normal DNA with respect to histone binding. The tighter binding of histones to BrdU-substituted DNA is of interest because of the known effects of BrdU on eukaryotic chromosome condensation and staining, virus induction, and the inhibition of differentiation.
通过膜过滤分析,我们从动力学实验和竞争实验中均获得了结果,这些结果表明组蛋白与溴脱氧尿苷取代的DNA的结合比与正常DNA的结合更强。在37摄氏度、离子强度为0.2M的标准缓冲液中,组蛋白H1、H2和H4从溴脱氧尿苷取代的DNA上解离的速率分别比从正常DNA上解离的速率慢7倍、4倍和2倍。竞争实验表明,在组蛋白结合方面,溴脱氧尿苷取代的DNA与正常DNA之间的差异更大。由于溴脱氧尿苷对真核染色体浓缩和染色、病毒诱导以及分化抑制的已知作用,组蛋白与溴脱氧尿苷取代的DNA的更紧密结合令人感兴趣。
