Metaphase chromosomes from mammalian cells stimulate fusion of artificial phospholipid vesicles.

Abstract:

:Isolated mitotic chromosomes are able to form complexes with phosphatidylcholine liposomes in the presence and absence of Ca2+ ions, in the latter case in the presence of polyamines. Interactions with chromosomes stimulates liposome fusion. The fusion is promoted by condensed and EDTA-decondensed chromosomes.
