Abstract
Utilizing male rat liver cells we describe a method for isolating and fractionating chromosomal proteins. About 99% of chromosomal proteins was dissociated using a three step dissociation procedure. DNA was removed by sedimentation and the histone fractions were separated from the non-histone chromosomal proteins by Bio Rex 70 chromatography. The non-histone chromosomal proteins were fractionated by micro-gradient electrophoresis on SDS-polyacrylamide gels, which proved to be superior to the electrophoretic procedures currently in use. The histones were further separated on polyacrylamide-SDS slab gels using a micro-two-dimensional electrophoretic system. The high resolution of these fractionation procedures greatly enhances the possibility of observing small changes in proteins which may play a role in gene regulation.
