Eg. Novikova et Vi. Popenko, VISUALIZATION OF CHROMATIN STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION CENTERS IN THE MACRONUCLEUS OF A CILIATE BURSARIA-TRUNCATELLA, Molecular biology, 32(3), 1998, pp. 439-446
Internal organization of chromatin clumps in Bursaria truncatella macr
onucleus was studied using formamide treatment with subsequent spreadi
ng by protein monolayer technique. Chromatin structural organization c
enters are described and a model of higher-order chromatin organizatio
n in B. truncatella macronucleus is suggested. The involvement of high
er-order structural elements in distribution of macronuclear chromatin
at cell division is discussed.
