title: [Comparison of the primary structure of reconstructed minimal nucleosomes and nucleosomes isolated from the chromatin].
abstract: We have reconstructed nucleosomes from a histone octamer (H2A, H2B, H3, H4)2 and DNA 146 b.p. or 2-3 thousands b.p. in length. Comparison by means of DNA-histone cross-links of the primary organization of minimal nucleosomes obtained by reconstruction or isolated from chromatin of chicken erythrocyte nuclei has demonstrated a high similarity in histone location on their DNAs. Simultaneously, there have been observed some variations in the character of interaction for all core histones with DNA on nucleosomes. Thus, the cross-link of histone H4 with DNA of a core particle at H4 sites (65), unlike H4(55) and H4(88) sites, significantly depends on the superstructure of chromatin, ionic strength of solution and the presence of denaturating agents. All these differences are expected to probe the existence of conformational isomers for core particles. (Bracketed is the distance from the histone interaction site with the DNA of the core particle to the DNA 5'-terminus.)
