Proteins tightly bound to the DNA of mouse L cells were examined both in the regions of DNA attachment to the protein skeleton and in the DNA loops. The interphase nuclear matrix and the metaphase chromosomal scaffold, containing from 2 to 15% of the original DNA, as well as the material released from the skeleton were isolated by mild nuclease treatment. At least six proteins resistant to sarcosyl-Cs2SO4 treatment are associated exclusively with skeleton-attached DNA both in interphase nuclei and metaphase chromosomes. Two (p52 and p60) can be dissociated from the complex by mercapto-ethanol-sarcosyl treatment. Both skeleton-attached and released DNA fractions contain a group of tightly bound low molecular weight polypeptides consisting of a major p18 band and one or two minor bands. They seem to be randomly distributed throughout the whole DNA loop. Some of the specific proteins that are tightly associated with DNA at the site of its interaction with the skeleton may directly be responsible for DNA attachment to the skeleton.

D011485 Protein Binding The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments. Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein

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
D002868 Chromosomal Proteins, Non-Histone Nucleoproteins, which in contrast to HISTONES, are acid insoluble. They are involved in chromosomal functions; e.g. they bind selectively to DNA, stimulate transcription resulting in tissue-specific RNA synthesis and undergo specific changes in response to various hormones or phytomitogens.

D004268 DNA-Binding Proteins Proteins which bind to DNA. The family includes proteins which bind to both double- and single-stranded DNA and also includes specific DNA binding proteins in serum which can be used as markers for malignant diseases.
