Abstract:We have detected unique nucleoprotein particles specific for the 18-28 S rDNA nontranscribed spacer of Drosophila melanogaster. The particles migrate between di-and trinucleosomes on nucleoprotein gels, and are between mono-and dinucleosomal in DNA length. These migration properties suggest that the nontranscribed spacer particles could have a protein component larger than a histone core. The variant nucleoprotein structures map primarily within the nontranscribed spacer 235 base pair internal subrepeat, which… Show more
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.
