[Proteinase activity of nuclei from various tissues towards endogenous histones]. 1979

O A Goriukhina, and V P Goncharova, and I S Stepanova, and V V Reztsova

The proteinase activities of nuclei isolated from tissues differing in their mitotic activities (brain, thymus, liver, ascite lymphoma) towards the histones and non-histone acid -- extractable proteins were studied. The sensitivity of different histone fractions to nuclear proteinase depends on temperature and time of nuclei incubation under conditions providing for complete dissociation of chromatin proteins from DNA (2 M NaCl--5 M urea). The proteinase activity in the brain and thymus nuclei is revealed only under prolonged (43 hrs) incubation of the nuclei at 25 degrees C, which is accompanied by partial proteolysis of histone H1. Histone H4 from brain nuclei and histone H2a from thymus nuclei are preferably degraded. In the nuclei isolated from the mice ascite cell lymphoma NK/ly and from rat liver the enzyme activity is revealed mainly towards the arginine-enriched histones H3 and H4. The proteolysis of the arginine-enriched histones in tumour cell nuclei is more complete. A high sensitivity to proteolysis was observed for non-histone acid-extractable proteins with low electrophoretic mobility, which were found in brain and tumour cell nuclei.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
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
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.
