On the character of the nuclear membrane-associated DNA of HeLa cells
Physiological Chemistry and Physics
|January 1, 1975
Abstract:
The nature of the nascent DNA-membrane complexes isolated from synchronized HeLa cells was examined. It was found that membrane-associated DNA is not the result of repair replication. A study of the stability of the complexes to various degradative agents and enzymes suggest that the DNA is associated with a structure which is composed of a lipoprotein. An examination of the physical structure of this DNA indicates that it might be a "nicked" duplex with a base content similar to that of the bulk DNA.
