Isolation and characterization of nonhistone chromosomal protein C-14 which stimulates RNA synthesis
Abstract
The nonhistone chromatin protein, C-14, was extracted from chromatin of Novikoff hepatoma ascites cells and isolated in high purity as shown by its migration as a single dense spot on two-dimensional polyacrylamide gels. Its mobility on sodium dodecyl sulfate gels is consistent with a molecular weight of approximately 70 000. The amino acid composition shows that protein C-14 has an acidic:basic amino acid ratio of 1.8. Its amino terminal amino acid is lysine. Protein C-14 stimulated the incorporation of [3H]UMP into RNA by approximately 30% when added to naked DNA and homologous RNA polymerase I. A 30% stimulation of [3H]UMP incorporation into RNA was also found when protein C-14 was added to an E. coli RNA polymerase system containing either E. coli or Novikoff hepatoma DNA.
