[Changes in the properties of chromatin during nerve cell acquisition of definitive morphologic features]

The morphological maturation of neurocytes of the cranial cervical ganglion during the 1st month of life was accompanied in rats by changes in the state of DNA-histone chromatin complex and rise of stainability of non-histone nuclear proteins by fast green FCF at pH 2.6. This coincided in time with the increase of transcription level as well as with changes in the dynamics of RNA-bound nuclear label during the first hours after (3)H-uridine incorporation. These peculiarities reflect the process of chromatin rearrangement during the maturation of neurocytes.
