abstract：:ADP-ribosylation of HeLa nonhistone proteins was investigated by using [3H]adenosine as an in vivo radioactive label. The aim was to determine basic differences in the patterns of modification of interphase and metaphase nonhistones. Fluorography revealed a relatively small number of modified proteins for isolated met...
