Quantitative analysis of distribution of chromosomal proteins on single copy DNA sequences has been further developed. Our approach consists of DNA-protein crosslinking within whole cells or isolated nuclei, specific immunoaffinity isolation of crosslinked complexes via protein and identification of crosslinked DNA by hybridisation with single-stranded DNA probes. The present study shows that transcribed chromatin of chicken embryonic erythrocyte beta globin gene is characterized by about 1.5-2.5-fold higher density of HMG 14/17 and 2-fold lower density of H1 and H5 as compared with non-transcribed chromatin of ovalbumin and lysozyme genes, whereas HMG 1/2, E proteins were equally distributed between DNA of both transcribed and non-transcribed genes. The depletion of H1/H5 in beta globin sequences was verified by the 'protein image' hybridisation technique (1). The DNase I hypersensitive site located 5' upstream from beta globin gene is deficient in all the proteins assayed, what implies a drastic disruption in the nucleosomal array. Minor quantitative changes of protein pattern suggest transient local perturbation of the chromatin on transcription.

D009113 Muramidase A basic enzyme that is present in saliva, tears, egg white, and many animal fluids. It functions as an antibacterial agent. The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of 1,4-beta-linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in peptidoglycan and between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in chitodextrin. EC 3.2.1.17. Lysozyme,Leftose,N-Acetylmuramide Glycanhydrolase,Glycanhydrolase, N-Acetylmuramide,N Acetylmuramide Glycanhydrolase
D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D002843 Chromatin The material of CHROMOSOMES. It is a complex of DNA; HISTONES; and nonhistone proteins (CHROMOSOMAL PROTEINS, NON-HISTONE) found within the nucleus of a cell. Chromatins
D003432 Cross-Linking Reagents Reagents with two reactive groups, usually at opposite ends of the molecule, that are capable of reacting with and thereby forming bridges between side chains of amino acids in proteins; the locations of naturally reactive areas within proteins can thereby be identified; may also be used for other macromolecules, like glycoproteins, nucleic acids, or other.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
