title: Cortisone-induced small RNP tightly bound to chromatin.
abstract: The small nuclear RNP (alpha-RNP) tightly bound to chromatin has been isolated. alpha-RNP can be removed from chromatin together with the acid-soluble proteins. The RNA from this RNP has been isolated; its electrophoretic mobility is equal to that of 4 S RNA. The study of the resistance of alpha-RNA to RNases (A, T1 and S1) in salt solutions of various ionic strengths allows us to conclude that the alpha-RNA has a well-developed secondary structure. The alpha-RNA is tightly associated with the protein moiety of alpha-RNP and has developed secondary structure. The alpha-RNA is tightly associated with the protein moiety of alpha-RNP and has a high metabolic activity.
