In a simple eukaryote Physarum polycephalum about 13% of the genome is transcribed into abundant cytoplasmic RNA as shown by S1 nuclease digestion of DNA-RNA hybrids. Mild digestion of isolated Physarum nuclei with DNase I liberates a fraction of chromatin 3.5-fold enriched in sequences hybridizing by Physarum poly(A)+ RNA. This fraction is similarly enriched in histone H4 and actin genes known to be actively transcribed in Physarum. High content (about 45%) of actively transcribed sequences in DNase-I-released fraction of Physarum chromatin makes it particularly well suited for studying the structural basis of transcriptional activation in eukaryotes.
