Abstract
ADP-ribosylation of HeLa nonhistone proteins was investigated by using [3H]adenosine as an in vivo radioactive label. The aim was to determine basic differences in the patterns of modification of interphase and metaphase nonhistones. Fluorography revealed a relatively small number of modified proteins for isolated metaphase chromosomes. In addition to the core histones, a protein of 116 kDa, which is identified as poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, was a primary acceptor of [3H]adenosine. Two-dimensional gels revealed a profound difference in the modification of metaphase and interphase nonhistones. For interphase nuclei, 3H label was distributed among a large number of nonhistone acceptors. ADP-ribosylation Nonhistone Metaphase chromosome Interphase nucleus [3H]Adenosine HeLa cell.
