The concentration of free phosphate groups is measured in rat liver chromatin after DNase II digestion using polylysine titration. The unsheared chromatin completely precipitates at lysine/DNA phosphate ratios of 0.5 to 0.6. Digestion of the chromatin reduces the lysine/DNA phosphate ratio of complete precipitation by about 0.2 units suggesting the removal of free phosphate groups. The two chromatin fractions: MgC12 insoluble (template-inactive) and Mg12 soluble (template-active) chromatins precipitate at about the same lysine/DNA phosphate ratio. Some 15% of the MgC12 soluble chromatin remains in solution at any polylysine concentration. The removal of histone H 1 FROM THE MgC12 insoluble chromatin increases the lysine/DNA phosphate ratio by about 0.2 units suggesting that 20% of the DNA phosphate groups in nucleosomes are masked by histone H 1.

Effect of different concentration of non-ionic detergents (Triton X-100, Triton X-305, BRIJ-35 and Triton WR-1339) on total and non-sedimentable activity of 8 rat liver lysosome enzymes (acid phosphatase, acid DNase, acid RNase, arylsulphatases A and B, beta-glucuronidase, beta-galactosidase, beta-glucosidase and beta-acetylglucosaminidase) was studied. Only Triton X-100 at the concentration of 0.1% (and higher) was found to release completely lysosome enzymes. Low concentrations of Triton X-100 (0.025-0.05%) were used to characterize the strength of enzyme binding: the level of releasing acid DNase, beta-galactosidase, beta-glucuronidase and acid phsophatase being considerably higher than that of other lysosome enzymes studied. On the basis of the data obtained a method is worked out, which is suitable for series studies of the stability of lysosome membranes under different physiological and pathological conditions. The essence of the method is the treatment of membrane particles with increasing concentrations of Triton X-100 (0.025; 0.05 AND 0.1%) AND THE SUCCESSIVE ESTIMATION OF NON-Sedimentable activity of marker enzymes. The method detected troubles in the stability of rat liver lysosome membranes under starvation, protein deficiency and aging.
