Ni. Enukashvily et al., Human nuclear matrix contains a protein complex which can specifically recognize alpha-satellite DNA in vitro, BIOCHEM-MOS, 64(4), 1999, pp. 473-480
A nuclear matrix protein complex has been found which specifically binds to
a-satellite DNA as revealed by gel shift assay. The complex contains three
proteins-two DNA-binding proteins with molecular masses of 70 and 80 kD an
d a 58-kD protein which does not bind DNA but enhances the specificity of b
inding of the others to alpha-satellite DNA. The complex does not contain C
ENP-A, CENP-B, CENP-C, CENP-G, or lamins A/C and B.
