Rat liver chromatin was digested by micrococcal nuclease. Chromatin subunits (or mononucleosomes) were isolated by sucrose density gradient and subsequently fractionated by 6% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis into two major components. One component (MN1) of the mononucleosomes had a higher mobility, contained histones H2A, H2B, H3, H4, and shorter DNA fragments (140 base pairs) while the other (MN2) contained all five histones and longer DNA fragments (180 base pairs). Both submononucleosomes (MN1 and MN2) were found to contain nonhistone chromatin proteins (NHCP). By electrophoresis in 15% sodium dodecyl sulfate – polyacrylamide gel, 9 and 11 major fractions of NHCP were identified in the submononucleosomes MN1 and MN2, respectively. It was also observed that treatment of mononucleosomes with 0.6 M NaCl removes most of these NHCP and histone H1 except for two major NHCP which remain in the core particles.

Abstract Normal and starved adult chickens were injected intraperitoneally with ᴅ-galactosamine hydro­ chloride (0.5 g/kg body weight) and 6 h later liver chromatin acid-soluble proteins were isolated. These proteins were resolved by a two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of non-ionic detergent, Triton X-100, in the first dimension and anionic detergent, sodium dodecyl sulfate, in the second dimension. Although spotting patterns of acid-soluble chromatin proteins were remarkably similar between normal and starved control birds and those receiving ᴅ-galactosamine, a disappearance of a 24-kDa protein after administration of this agent was found. Moreover, it was shown that this protein was also completely absent in the chicken erythrocyte chromatin which was known to be inactive in RNA synthesis.It seems that the disappearance of the 24-kDa chromatin protein may be associated with inhibiting of transcription in hen liver after ᴅ-galactosamine administration and during hen erythrocyte maturation.

The Moloney murine leukemia virus causes thymic leukemias when injected into newborn mice. A major genetic determinant of the thymic disease specificity of the Moloney virus genetically maps to two protein binding sites in the Moloney virus enhancer, the leukemia virus factor b site and the adjacent core site. Point mutations introduced into either of these sites significantly shifts the disease specificity of the Moloney virus from thymic leukemia to erythroleukemia (N. A. Speck, B. Renjifo, E. Golemis, T. Frederickson, J. Hartley, and N. Hopkins, Genes Dev. 4:233-242, 1990). We have purified several polypeptides that bind to the core site in the Moloney virus enhancer. These proteins were purified from calf thymus nuclear extracts by selective pH denaturation, followed by chromatography on heparin-Sepharose, nonspecific double-stranded DNA-cellulose, and core oligonucleotide-coupled affinity columns. We have achieved greater than 13,000-fold purification of the core-binding factors (CBFs), with an overall yield of approximately 19%. Analysis of purified protein fractions by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis reveals more than 10 polypeptides. Each of the polypeptides was recovered from an SDS-polyacrylamide gel, and those in the molecular size range of 19 to 35 kDa were demonstrated to have core-binding activity. The purified CBFs were shown by DNase I footprint analyses to bind the core site in the Moloney virus enhancer specifically, and also to core motifs in the enhancers from a simian immunodeficiency virus, the immunoglobulin mu chain, and T-cell receptor gamma-chain genes.

<em>Bahan<strong> </strong>baku untuk membuat baso adalah daging hewan, pada umumnya dari daging sapi, ayam, ikan dan babi. Di beberapa daerah di Indonesia terjadi kasus baso tikus. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menguji ada tidaknya kandungan daging tikus pada produk baso yang dijual di pasar Cempaka Putih-Kecamatan Kramat Jakarta Pusat dan di pedagang baso atau mie baso di sekitar kampus Universitas YARSI Jakarta. Daging adalah protein salah satu metode untuk mengidentifikasi protein adalah metode Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE).<strong> </strong>Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari 6 sampel baso terindikasi ada 2 sampel baso dengan nomor 1 dan 5 yang dibuat dari campuran daging sapi dan tikus; ada 1 sampel baso dengan nomor 6 yang terbuat dari daging tikus; dan 2 sampel baso dengan nomor 2 dan 3 yang terbuat dari campuran sapi  dan babi, dan hanya 1 sampel baso dengan nomor sampel 4 yang benar-benar terbuat dari daging sapi.</em>
