Nucleosomal structure and histone H1 subfractional composition of pea (Pisum sativum) root nodules, radicles and callus chromatin
Tóm tắt
Higher-order packaging of DNA in chromatin structures could be an essential step in the complex chain of events leading to activation/repression of eukaryotic gene expression. With the goal to investigate this aspect of transcriptional regulation of plant genes involved in symbiotic interactions between legumes and rhizobia we analyze here the molecular parameters of chromatin structure in functioning root nodules, callus and radicles of pea. Morphological intactness and the typical nucleosomal organization are preserved in purified nuclei isolated from all three sources. The calculated values of nucleosomal repeat changed from 185±5 bp in the nuclei of radicles to 168±5 bp and 195±6 bp in nodules and callus respectively. The observed changes are due to alterations in linker DNA lengths. The core histones are identical in all cases, but the subfractional composition of H1 linker histone is subjected to quantitative alterations. The most pronounced is the several-fold increase in content of the lowest-molecular-weight subfraction H1-6 which takes place during nodule development.
