[Analysis of the heterogeneity of chromatin proteins fractionated on hydroxyapatite]
Abstract:
The protein composition of the liver chromatin has been studied by two techniques for fractionation of histones. The "lability" fraction of histones H2A-H2B is revealed. In these fractions histones H2B have many modified forms and they are not included into octamer (H3, H4, H2A, H2B)2. Young animals rather than old ones have much quantitative subfractions of histone H2B. The "lability" fraction of histones H2A-H2B is stated to be very significant in the activated and repressed chromatin structure.

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation- ChIP
Types of ChIP
ChIP can be divided into two types - X-ChIP and N-ChIP. X-ChIP involves in vivo cross-linking of histones and regulatory proteins to DNA, fragmenting the DNA by sonication, and isolating the protein-DNA...
Heterochromatin
Constitutive heterochromatin: It is a highly compact region of chromatin that is mostly concentrated in the centromere and telomere. Unlike euchromatin, the amino acid at 9th...
