Histones of Xenopus laevis erythrocytes. Purification and characterization of the lysine-rich fractions. 1979

O H Destrée, and H J Hoenders, and A F Moorman, and R Charles

Lysine-rich histones have been isolated from the terminally differentiated erythrocytes of Xenopus laevis. Three major proteins have been separated by ion-exchange chromatography. These proteins have been characterized by electrophoresis, amino acid analysis and immunochemical techniques. It is concluded that two 'typical' lysine-rich subfractions are present in Xenopus erythrocytes and, in addition, a serine-rich histone, that shares no common antigenic determinants with the other lysine-rich histones.

D002645 Chickens Common name for the species Gallus gallus, the domestic fowl, in the family Phasianidae, order GALLIFORMES. It is descended from the red jungle fowl of SOUTHEAST ASIA. Gallus gallus,Gallus domesticus,Gallus gallus domesticus,Chicken
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.

D006657 Histones Small chromosomal proteins (approx 12-20 kD) possessing an open, unfolded structure and attached to the DNA in cell nuclei by ionic linkages. Classification into the various types (designated histone I, histone II, etc.) is based on the relative amounts of arginine and lysine in each.

D013045 Species Specificity The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species. It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species.
