Studies on nuclear structure and function in Tetrahymena pyriformis. 3. Comparison of the histones of macro- and micronuclei by quantitative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. 1970

M A Gorovsky

Histones were extracted from isolated macro- and micronuclear fractions and from nucleohistone fibers which were prepared from the isolated macronuclear fraction. Analysis of these histones by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated that there are electrophoretic differences between the histones of macro- and micronuclei.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
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
D003720	Densitometry	The measurement of the density of a material by measuring the amount of light or radiation passing through (or absorbed by) the material.	Densitometries
D000179	Acrylates	Derivatives of acrylic acid (the structural formula CH2
D000577	Amides	Organic compounds containing the -CO-NH2 radical. Amides are derived from acids by replacement of -OH by -NH2 or from ammonia by the replacement of H by an acyl group. (From Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)	Amide
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
