Effects of Calcium on Template Activity and Size of Pea Chromatin Fragments
Institute for Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Okayama University Chuo 2-20-1, Kurashiki, Okayama 710, Japan
Pea chromatin was fractionated into template active and inactive fragments by cleavage with DNase II followed by fractionation with Bio-Gel A 5 m column chromatography.
When the chromatin fragments were chromatographed in the presence of Ca2+ or EGTA, the elution patterns suggested that Ca2+ assembled moderately digested chromatin fractions. Moreover, total template activity of chromatin fractions was reduced by Ca2+ and the active fraction was eluted at different positions under the chelated and non-chelated conditions.
