Selective digestion of mouse metaphase chromosomes.

Abstract:

:Metaphase chromosomes prepared from colcemid-treated mouse L929 cells by non-ionic detergent lysis exhibit distinct heterochromatic centromere regions and associated kinetochores when viewed by whole mount electron microscopy. Deoxyribonuclease I treatment of these chromosomes results in the preferential digestion of the chromosomal arms leaving the centromeric heterochromatin and kinetochores apparently intact. Enrichment in centromere material after DNase I digestion was quantitated by examining the increase in 10,000 X g pellets of the 1.691 g/cc satellite DNA relative to main band DNA. This satellite species has been localized at the centromeres of mouse chromosomes by in situ hybridization. From our analysis it was determined that DNase I digestion results in a five to six-fold increase in centromeric material. In contrast to the effect of DNase I, micrococcal nuclease was found to be less selective in its action. Digestion with this enzyme solubilized both chromosome arms and centromeres leaving only a small amount of chromatin and intact kinetochores.
