[Internucleosome interaction: detection of dinucleosome fragmentation of chromatin by micrococcal nuclease. Analysis of the products of cleavage of chromatin from rat liver nuclei and L cells by micrococcal nuclease].
In murine L-cell nuclei micrococcal nuclease causes chromatin fragmentation with predominant liberation of dinucleosomes. Analysis of dynamics of rat liver nuclear chromatin cleavage by micrococcal nuclease revealed that the "dinucleosomal" mode of fragmentation is due to the pretreatment of nuclei with the non-ionic detergent Triton X-100 in the course of the isolation procedure. The set of particles detected in nuclease hydrolysates of nuclear chromatin pretreated with Triton X-100 and those isolated by the standard procedure was shown to be significantly different. In Triton X-100 treated nuclei the dichromatosome is the main hydrolysate component under various experimental conditions of nuclease hydrolysis and the sole component under "mild" conditions, whereas sucrose-treated nuclei contain three types of dinucleosomes. In Triton-treated nuclei prolongation of hydrolysis results in the liberation of the chromatosome which is absent in chromatin hydrolysates of sucrose-treated nuclei. Hydrolysis of Triton-treated nuclear chromatin by micrococcal nuclease is unaccompanied by the liberation (up to the stage of "deep" hydrolysis) of the core particle, the major component of the "sucrose" nuclear hydrolysate under the conditions used. The sharp differences in the accessibility of various types of dinucleosomes observed during pretreatment of nuclei with Triton X-100 are interpreted in terms of the localization of histone H1. The non-random type of the histone H1 molecule orientation along the nucleosome fibril is postulated.
