Oestradiol-receptor complexes in subnuclear fractions of rat uterine tissue. 1978

W de Boer, and J de Vries, and E Mulder, and H J van der Molen

The subnuclear distribution of 3H-oestradiol-receptor complexes was studied in uterine tissue of ovariectomized adult rats. Nuclei were sonically disrupted and 8 different subnuclear fractions were isolated by discontinuous sucrose density gradient centrifugation. 3H-Oestradiol-receptor complexes, measured by hydroxylapatite column chromatography, were localized in a light chromatin fraction as well as in a heavy chromatin fraction. Using the hydroxylapatite chromatography technique it was possible to demonstrate three classes of oestradiol-receptor complexes which differ in affinity for the chromatin. Oestradiol-receptor complexes with a high affinity for the chromatin were predominantly localized in the heavy chromatin fraction, whereas complexes with a lower affinity for their acceptor sites were present in the lighter chromatin fraction.

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
