Tissue-specific chromosomal non-histone protein interactions with DNA. 1976

S Wang, and J F Chiu, and L Klyszejko-Stefanowicz, and H Fujitani, and L S Hnilica

A group of chromosomal non-histone proteins with affinity for DNA (NP) was isolated from rat liver and Novikoff hepatoma. This fraction, which represents less than 5% of the total chromatin protein content, binds preferentially to unique, double-stranded sequences of fractionated homologous DNA. The interactions are strong at low ionic strength (Km = 6.7 X 10(-9) M) and decrease with rising salt concentration. Complexes of the NP protein fraction with homologous DNA are immunologically tissue-specific. As determined by microcomplement fixation, the NP proteins in Novikoff hepatoma are associated with the transcriptionally active, diffuse fraction of chromatin.

D003168 Complement Fixation Tests Serologic tests based on inactivation of complement by the antigen-antibody complex (stage 1). Binding of free complement can be visualized by addition of a second antigen-antibody system such as red cells and appropriate red cell antibody (hemolysin) requiring complement for its completion (stage 2). Failure of the red cells to lyse indicates that a specific antigen-antibody reaction has taken place in stage 1. If red cells lyse, free complement is present indicating no antigen-antibody reaction occurred in stage 1.
