Identification and fractionation of the total histone of the cotton plant

In order to isolate individual fractions of the histones of the cotton plant of variety 108-F and to investigate them further, the total histone has been chromatographed on Acrylex P-60 and Bio-Gel P-30. It has been shown that the most complete fractionation is achieved on a Acrylex P-60. By electrophoresis of the fractions in 15% PAAG in the presence of 6.25 M urea and on the basis of amino acid compositions, the following order of elution of the histones has been established: H1, H2B + H2A, H3, and H4. In a comparison of the amino acid composition of the H3 and H4 histones of the cotton plant with histones enriched with arginine from other species, a somewhat higher lysine : arginine ratio in these fractions has been found. On comparing the electrophoretic mobilities of the histone fractions from the cotton plant with the histones of calf thymus, some difference is observed which is apparently connected with a difference in their molecular weights.

Study of the total histone of the cotton plant of variety 108-F

From two-day etiolated shoots of the cotton plant of variety 108-F we have isolated the total histone and purified it on a column of CM-cellulose. It has been shown by gel electrophoresis and amino acid analysis that the total histone of the cotton plant, like the total histone of wheat, consists of five main fractions, the amount of the lysine-rich fraction A₁ being greater in the cotton plant than in wheat (23% and 19%, respectively), and the amount of arginine-rich fraction A₄ being less (19.2 and 24.3%, respectively). The total histone of the cotton plant is less basic (ratio of basic amino acids to acidic amino acids in the cotton-plant histone 1.24, in wheat histone 1.9, and in calf thymus histone 1.78) but richer in lysine as compared with arginine than the histones of wheat and calf thymus.V.

Histones of the cotton plant. Molecular characteristics of histone H1

A characterization of the histones of two varieties of the cotton plant,Gossypium hirsutum andG. barbadense, has been given with the aid of various electrophoretic systems. Their molecular weights have been determined. An analysis has been made of the cleavage of histone H1 at tyrosine residues. The positive charge and the molecular length of histone H1 have been determined by the method of incomplete succinylation.V. I.

Change in the activity of the proteolytic enzymes of cotton seeds when the plants are affected by wilt

The change in the proteolytic activity of the seeds of the cotton plant varieties Tashkent-1- Tashkent-6, S-4727, and 108-F when the plants are affected by wilt has been studied. A relationship has been established between the decrease in activity for seeds of the Tashkent-1 and Tashkent-6 varieties and the degree of attack by wilt. A hypothesis has been put forward on the existence of variety differences in the response reaction of the cotton plant to the introduction of the pathogen. The appearance of distinctive electrophoretic protein components in the seeds of wilt-affected cotton plants of the Tashkent-1 and Tashkent-6 varieties has been shown. A hypothesis has been made of a possible increase in the amount of proteinase inhibitors in response to the infection of the plants by wilt, a consequence of which is a sharp decrease in proteolytic activity and the appearance of distinctive electrophoretic components.Institute of Chemistry of Plant Substances of the Uzbek Academy of Sciences, Tashkent.

铕（III）牛磺酸席夫碱配合物的合成、表征及其与DNA的作用模式

合成了三种铕(III)与牛磺酸缩水杨醛席夫碱配合物 [(Eu(TSal)L(NO3)) •2H2O,TSal ：席夫碱配体,L1：1,10-邻菲咯啉,L2：2- 氨基吡啶,L3：2,2’-联吡啶],并对其进行了结构表征;采用荧光光谱法和粘度法研究了配合物与小牛胸腺DNA的相互作用模式。实验结果表明三种配合物对DNA均有不同强度的插入作用,其插入能力在一定范围内与配合物的浓度正相关,且与配合物分子适宜的平面性有关,三种配合物对DNA插入能力顺序为：[Eu(TSal)L1(NO3)]•2H2O＞[Eu (TSal)L3(NO3)] •2H2O＞[Eu(TSal) L2(NO3)]• 2H2O。     

Identification of ADP-ribosylated histones by the combined use of high-performance liquid chromatography and electrophoresis

Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was employed for analysing mono- and oligo(ADP-ribosyl)ated histones. Under the chromatographic conditions described, the ADP-ribosylated histones showed similar retention times to the unmodified histones, although the molecular weight and the charge of the proteins are significantly altered by their modification. The simultaneous elution of unmodified and labelled modified histones was detected by two types of gel electrophoresis and by autoradiography. In addition, the HPLC fractions did not display overlapping ladders of the multiply modified histones, as is commonly seen in one-dimensional electrophoretic analyses of unfractionated material. Hence individual bands could be unambiguously assigned. After in vitro labelling of isolated rat liver nuclei, the following ADP-ribosylated and unmodified histones were identified by HPLC and gel electrophoresis: histone H1(0), four histone H1 subfractions, histone H2A.1, histone H2A.2, oxidized histone H2A.2, histone H2A.X, histone H2A.Z, histone H2B, three histone H3 variants and histone H4.

Oxygen effect in the radiolysis of proteins:: V. Histones

Histones of calf thymus were irradiated with X-rays in different phosphate solutions under nitrogen and air. Degradation of the monomer core histones, formation of aggregates and of fragments were determined by electrophoresis and HPL-gelchromatography. Under nitrogen loss of monomer histones are caused by aggregation, under air by fragmentation. No influence of the different ionic conditions was observed. The G-value for degradation is smaller under air than under nitrogen. These results for histones are compared with the oxygen effect of other proteins.

Electrophoretic heterogeneity of maize histones

Histones from maize embryos and seedlings have been isolated using a fast extraction procedure. Three different electrophoretic systems have been applied for the study of the heterogeneity of maize core histones. Electrophoresis in acetic acid/urea polyacrylamide gels, containing high concentrations of urea, resulted in optimum fractionation of the core histones and especially of histone H4. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-containing polyacrylamide gels were not useful for the fractionation of maize histone classes H2a and H2b, nor for the various subfractions of H3 and H4. Gels containing Triton X-100, used for the dimension in two-dimensional electrophoresis proved to be efficient for the separation of all histone classes, as well as their structural variants and chemical modifications. Maize core histones have been oxidized in an attempt to define which of the Triton X-100 resolved subfractions represent oxidation forms.
