title: [Ca2+, Mg2+, Zn2+ levels in histone fractions from normal and tumor cells].
abstract: Distribution of some bivalent cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, Zn2+) in histones isolated from healthy mice liver and ascitic hepatoma 22A cells has been investigated by atomic-absorption analysis. It has been shown that the content of these cations is higher in normal and diseased H3, H2B and H1 fractions and lower--in H2A; however, in the H4 fraction these metals are not detected. A significant increase of Ca2+, Mg2+ and Zn2+ levels has been established in ascitic H3, H2B and H1 fractions. An increase of bivalent cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, Zn2+) content in some histone fractions apparently is bound with the changes of histone--histone and histone--DNA interactions.
