A molecular biological characteristic of a DNA fragment delta 20p1.4, which is a moderately repetitive sequence of the Drosophila melanogaster genome, is presented. The fragment is present in about 120 copies per haploid genome. The main pool of the delta 20p1.4 homologous DNA can be isolated, along with the nuclear matrix DNA, and consists of Hind III-EcoR I monomers 1.4-1.6 kb in length. The monomers may occur in the genome as both single copies and tandem clusters forming chromosomes fragments up to 6-10 kb in length. The region of the delta 20p1.4 fragment between nucleotides 350 and 905 polymerizes with purified lamin from D. melanogaster. The sites of the fragment that had physical contact with lamin in vitro were determined using an Exo III protection. It was demonstrated that ATATTT, A, and T boxes located in four nonperfect tandem repeats were involved in the contact, both DNA strains reacting with lamin.

D008969 Molecular Sequence Data Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as GENBANK, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), or other sequence repositories.

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
D002503 Centromere The clear constricted portion of the chromosome at which the chromatids are joined and by which the chromosome is attached to the spindle during cell division. Centromeres
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004331 Drosophila melanogaster A species of fruit fly frequently used in genetics because of the large size of its chromosomes. D. melanogaster,Drosophila melanogasters,melanogaster, Drosophila
D006570 Heterochromatin The portion of chromosome material that remains condensed and is transcriptionally inactive during INTERPHASE. Heterochromatins
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.
