title: Are the high mobility group non-histone chromosomal proteins associated with 'active' chromatin?
abstract: When 10--20% of the DNA in thymus and liver nuclei is rendered acid-soluble by DNAase I digestion, under conditions which may be expected to specifically degrade away most of the transcribed sequences, very little of the high-mobility-group non-histone proteins are released from the nuclei. Therefore, high-mobility-group proteins are probably not specifically associated with this portion of the genome.
