title: A protease is bound to rat liver nucleosomes.
abstract: Nucleosome prepared from pure rat liver nuclei contain protease activity. No protease is associated with nucleosome core particle and the protease-containing nucleosome has considerably higher sedimentation coefficient than the bulk nucleosomes. Only H1 histone is susceptible to the nucleosome-bound protease.
