Abstract:
:The mitotic chromosome structure of 45S rDNA site gaps in Lolium perenne was studied by atomic force microscope (AFM) combining with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis in the present study. FISH on the mitotic chromosomes showed that 45S rDNA gaps were completely broken or local despiralizations of the chromatid which had the appearance of one or a few thin DNA fiber threads. Topography imaging using AFM confirmed these observations. In addition, AFM imaging showed that the broken end of the chromosome fragment lacking the 45S rDNA was sharper, suggesting high condensation. In contrast, the broken ends containing the 45S rDNA or thin 45S rDNA fibers exhibited lower density and were uncompacted. Higher magnification visualization by AFM of the terminals of decondensed 45S rDNA chromatin indicated that both ends containing the 45S rDNA also exhibited lower density zones. The measured height of a decondensed 45S rDNA chromatin as obtained from the AFM image was about 55-65 nm, composed of just two 30-nm single fibers of chromatin. FISH in flow-sorted G2 interphase nuclei showed that 45S rDNA was highly decondensed in more than 90% of the G2/M nuclei. Our results suggested that a failure of the complex folding of the chromatin fibers occurred at 45S rDNA sites, resulting in gap formation or break.
