Distribution along DNA of the bound carcinogen N-acetoxy-N-2-acetylaminofluorene in chromatin modified in vitro
Abstract
Chromatin from duck erythrocytes was modified in vitro by the carcinogen N-acetoxy-N-2-acetylaminofluorene (N-Ac-O-AAF). The distribution of the carcinogen along the DNA molecule was studied using staphylococcal nuclease which allows the fractionation of chromatin DNA into two zones. It was shown that the carcinogen binds preferentially to the regions of chromatin sensitive to the enzyme; however, the regions of DNA tightly bound to histones and resistant to the enzyme react comparatively well. The single-strand specific nuclease S1 which digests DNA modified by the carcinogen in vitro did not digest chromatin under the conditions used. Some possible mechanisms for the interaction of the carcinogen with chromatin are discussed.
