We have studied the relative richness of TaqI sites along human chromosomes by means of a nonradioactive in situ enzyme-nick translation procedure. Regions with a higher content of these sequences are shown to be the noncentromeric heterochromatin blocks, whereas within euchromatin, terminal R-bands are the domains more enriched in these sites. Results obtained suggest that the method of performing enzyme digestions using time as a variable, and then in situ nick translation, provides much more complete information about the distribution of enzyme sequences along chromosomes than standard enzyme digestions.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002871 Chromosome Banding Staining of bands, or chromosome segments, allowing the precise identification of individual chromosomes or parts of chromosomes. Applications include the determination of chromosome rearrangements in malformation syndromes and cancer, the chemistry of chromosome segments, chromosome changes during evolution, and, in conjunction with cell hybridization studies, chromosome mapping. Banding, Chromosome,Bandings, Chromosome,Chromosome Bandings
D002877 Chromosomes, Human Very long DNA molecules and associated proteins, HISTONES, and non-histone chromosomal proteins (CHROMOSOMAL PROTEINS, NON-HISTONE). Normally 46 chromosomes, including two sex chromosomes are found in the nucleus of human cells. They carry the hereditary information of the individual. Chromosome, Human,Human Chromosome,Human Chromosomes
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D001665 Binding Sites The parts of a macromolecule that directly participate in its specific combination with another molecule. Combining Site,Binding Site,Combining Sites,Site, Binding,Site, Combining,Sites, Binding,Sites, Combining
D015252 Deoxyribonucleases, Type II Site-Specific Enzyme systems containing a single subunit and requiring only magnesium for endonucleolytic activity. The corresponding modification methylases are separate enzymes. The systems recognize specific short DNA sequences and cleave either within, or at a short specific distance from, the recognition sequence to give specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. Enzymes from different microorganisms with the same specificity are called isoschizomers. EC 3.1.21.4.
