DNA-histone interaction in the vicinity of replication points.

E J Schlaeger, R Knippers

    Nucleic Acids Research
    |February 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Newly replicated DNA fragments bind differently to nucleosomes than bulk DNA during chromatin replication. This suggests distinct histone interactions for replicating DNA in activated lymphocytes.

    Area of Science:

    • Molecular Biology
    • Cell Biology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Chromatin replication is a fundamental process for cell division.
    • Nucleosomes are the basic units of DNA packaging in eukaryotes.
    • Nascent DNA, newly synthesized during replication, has distinct structural properties.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the association of newly replicated DNA with nucleosomes.
    • To compare the binding of nascent DNA fragments to nucleosome-like structures with bulk DNA.
    • To elucidate potential differences in histone interactions during chromatin replication.

    Main Methods:

    • Studying chromatin replication in isolated nuclei from activated lymphocytes.
    • Utilizing micrococcal nuclease digestion to analyze DNA fragments.
    • Fractionating DNA-protein complexes using varying salt concentrations (0.5 M NaCl).

    Main Results:

    • The nuclease-resistant fraction of in vitro replicated DNA is associated with nucleosomes.
    • Nascent DNA fragments are shorter than bulk DNA fragments and bind differently to nucleosome-like structures.
    • A fraction of pulse-labeled DNA (5S DNA, ~140 bp) is released at 0.5 M NaCl, while mature DNA fragments (~185 bp) remain attached.

    Conclusions:

    • Replicating DNA exhibits differential binding to nucleosome-like structures compared to bulk DNA.
    • These findings suggest altered interactions between a fraction of replicating DNA and histones.
    • The distinct binding patterns may reflect specific mechanisms during chromatin assembly post-replication.
