Response of isolated nuclei to phospholipid vesicles: analysis of the nuclear proteins after treatment with phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylcholine and comparison with heparin. 1984

S Capitani, and L Cocco, and A Matteucci, and E Caramelli, and S Papa, and F A Manzoli

Phospholipid liposomes affect the histone pattern of isolated rat liver nuclei. Multilamellar vesicles (MLV) obtained with phosphatidylserine (PS) release a large amount of the lysine rich histones, while those obtained with phosphatidylcholine (PC) do not induce significant changes with respect to controls. This different response has been compared to the effects obtained with Heparin, which slightly modifies the relative ratio of the histone fractions. These data might account for the mode by which phospholipids induce transitions of the chromatin structure and changes of the endogenous RNA polymerase activity.

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

D006493 Heparin A highly acidic mucopolysaccharide formed of equal parts of sulfated D-glucosamine and D-glucuronic acid with sulfaminic bridges. The molecular weight ranges from six to twenty thousand. Heparin occurs in and is obtained from liver, lung, mast cells, etc., of vertebrates. Its function is unknown, but it is used to prevent blood clotting in vivo and vitro, in the form of many different salts.
