title: [Study of DNA-binding proteins in mitochondria of rat liver gamma-irradiation].
abstract: Acid-soluble proteins were isolated from the liver mitochondria of control and irradiated (8 Gy) rats. By means of electrophoresis in 15% polyacrylamide gel, these proteins were separated into more than 20 polypeptides of molecular masses between 10 and 120 kDa. The irradiation of rats with a dose of 8 Gy led to changes in the polypeptide content of mitochondrial acid-soluble proteins in the postradiation period. It was found that the liver acid-soluble proteins of control and irradiated rats were able to form nucleoproteid complexes with DNA at the physiological NaCl concentration. It was shown that along with mitochondrial acid-soluble proteins, proteases were also released, their activity increased in the presence of DNA. Twenty four hours after irradiation of rats with 8 Gy, the activity of proteases cleaving mitochondrial acid-soluble proteins decreased. Probably, the acid-soluble proteins and DNA-activated proteases of mitochondria are involved in the regulation of the structural organization and functional activity of mitochondrial DNA.
