Proteins were extracted from isolated rat liver nuclei with 0.15 M NaCl and 0.35 M NaCl at pH 8.0. The number of phosphoproteins in these extracts was determined by labeling with 32P and autoradiography after two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Two proteins, B22p and B24p, contained small amounts of 32P and sedimented with the 30S nuclear informofer particle. With the exception of two phosphoproteins, CB and CN', all of the phosphoproteins found in the 0.35 M NaCl extract. Approximately 20% of the 0.15 M NaCl soluble proteins bound to rat liver DNA in 0.05 M KCl-0.05 M Tris-HCl (pH 8). Of these proteins, 1-2% bound to DNA in 0.15 M KCl and were eluted with 2 M KCl. This DNA bound fraction which contained both phosphorylated and nonphosphorylated proteins was similar in both the 0.15 and 0.35 M NaCl extracts. However, two major proteins (C13 and C14) and three minor proteins (C15, C25, Cg') were present only in the 0.15 M NaCl extract. The results of the present study show that there are marked similarities in the two-dimensional gel electrophoretic, phosphorylation, and DNA binding properties of rat liver nuclear proteins soluble in either 0.15 or 0.35 M NaCl.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
