Effect of non-histone chromosomal proteins on transcription in vitro in sea-urchin.

Di Mauro E , Pedone F , Pomponi M .


???displayArticle.abstract???
Non-histone chromosomal proteins prepared from chromosomal material of the sea-urchin Paracentrotus lividus affect RNA synthesis in vitro. 1. The extent of transcription can be radically changed from inhibition to stimulation, depending on the DNA/non-histone chromosomal proteins ratio. 2. A correlation exists between stage of development and influence on transcription. 3. Non-histone chromosomal proteins exert their action by intervening directly on some initiation step of RNA synthesis, as shown by the numbers of initiation events that take place in their presence or absence. 4. Stimulatory activity is observed only in restrictive conditions of ionic strength and temperature. These observations are in agreement with models that predict for non-histone chromosomal proteins a regulatory role on the transcription process exerted through a modulation of promoter availability.
