title: Association of v-myc protein with chromatin.
abstract: The subnuclear distribution of proteins encoded by v-myb and v-myc was analysed in a cell-line of AMV-transformed chicken myeloblasts superinfected by the myc-containing retrovirus MC29. p45v-myb and p110gag-myc, co-expressed in these cells, were released in similar fashion when nuclei were treated with salt or DNAase. Analysis of nucleoprotein complexes extracted from nuclease-treated nuclei shows that p45v-myb and p110gag-myc are associated with a chromatin fraction of enhanced nuclease sensitivity. v-myb and v-myc proteins thus share the same subnuclear location and apparently interact directly with the cellular DNA.
