Characterization of lamina-bound chromatin in the nuclear shell isolated from HeLa cells. 1985

D Bouvier, and J Hubert, and A P Seve, and M Bouteille

The structure and the polypeptide composition of the nuclear shell isolated from interphase HeLa cells have been investigated and compared to those of the intranuclear material. The isolated nuclear shell contains chromatin superstructures (28-32 nm thick fibres) made of tightly packed nucleosomes that resist low ionic strength conditions and that are associated with the three nuclear lamins. Chromatin in the nuclear shell exhibits very simple chemical composition. Especially, non-histone proteins are lacking. The results presented here rule out the possibility that the nuclear shell results from contamination of lamina by intranuclear elements. They suggest that the lamins are directly involved in the specific properties and in the organization of chromatin in the nuclear shell.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D009685 Nuclear Envelope The membrane system of the CELL NUCLEUS that surrounds the nucleoplasm. It consists of two concentric membranes separated by the perinuclear space. The structures of the envelope where it opens to the cytoplasm are called the nuclear pores (NUCLEAR PORE). Nuclear Membrane,Envelope, Nuclear,Envelopes, Nuclear,Membrane, Nuclear,Membranes, Nuclear,Nuclear Envelopes,Nuclear Membranes
D009698 Nucleoproteins Proteins conjugated with nucleic acids. Nucleoprotein
D009707 Nucleosomes The repeating structural units of chromatin, each consisting of approximately 200 base pairs of DNA wound around a protein core. This core is composed of the histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. Dinucleosomes,Polynucleosomes,Dinucleosome,Nucleosome,Polynucleosome

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
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
D002868 Chromosomal Proteins, Non-Histone Nucleoproteins, which in contrast to HISTONES, are acid insoluble. They are involved in chromosomal functions; e.g. they bind selectively to DNA, stimulate transcription resulting in tissue-specific RNA synthesis and undergo specific changes in response to various hormones or phytomitogens.
