Using two-dimensional (2-D) electrophoresis, two non-histone chromatin protein fractions (NHCP1 and NHCP2) from three animal tumours (Kirkman-Robbins hepatoma, Morris hepatoma 7777 and Ehrlich ascites cells) and normal hamster liver were analyzed. Apart from many common components several tissue specific polypeptides of the NHCP1 and NHCP2 fractions were detected. It was found that some spots present in electropherograms of non-histone proteins of tumour cells (M X 10(-3)/pI): 17-24/4.9-6.5 (NHCP1 and NHCP2); 34-41/4.9-6.0 (HCP1 and NHCP2); 44-46/5.3-7.5 (HCP2); 46-49/5.0-7.5 (NHCP1); 49/5.9-7.5 (NHCP2) and 102-134/5.6-7.0 (NHCP1) were absent from normal liver.

Three antisera were prepared against non-histone protein classes named NHCP1, NHCP2 and dehistonized chromatin (with different affinity to DNA) from hamster liver. Two main antigenic bands of MW 17,000 and 36,000 were specific in the NHCP1 fraction and one antigen of MW 56,000 was specific for the NHCP2 fraction from nuclease-sensitive and especially nuclease-resistant chromatin. Other NHCP2 liver antigens of MW 22,000, 27,000, 30,000, 36,000, 37,000, 40,000, 45,000, 46,000, 51,000, 98,000 and 100,000 were present only in nuclease-resistant chromatin of hamster liver. Immunologically specific hamster liver non-histone proteins within the NHCP1 and NHCP2 fractions seem to be restricted to nuclease-resistant chromatin fraction of this tissue. The above mentioned liver specific antigens are absent or present only at trace amounts in analogous Kirkman-Robbins hepatoma fractions.

The immunochemical localization of hamster liver nucleolar antigens in subcellular fractions (nuclei, 10,000 x g pellet, 100,000 x g pellet and supernatant), nuclear substructures (chromatin, nuclear matrix, nuclear envelope, nucleoli, RNP particles and nucleosomes), and three classes of nonhistone chromosomal proteins with different affinities to DNA (NHCP1, NHCP2 and NHCP3) from nuclease-sensitive and nuclease-resistant chromatin fractions of hamster liver were studied. Six main nucleolar antigens with mol. wts 27,000; 29,000; 30,000; 36,000; 45,000; and 46,000 were found in subcellular fractions, nuclear substructures and classes of non-histone proteins of hamster liver. The antigens with mol.wts of approx. 27,000; 29,000; and 36,000 which were absent in hamster pancreas, spleen and Kirkman--Robbins hepatoma nuclei, seem specific for liver tissue.

1. Non-histone chromatin protein fractions NHCP1 and NHCP2 eluted from hydroxyapatite with 50 and 100 mM phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) from nuclei of Kirkman-Robbins hepatoma from 4th, 7th and 9th day of growth were analysed by one- and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis as well as Western blot technique in the presence of antibodies elicited against NHCP1, NHCP2 and dehistonized chromatin of hamster hepatoma and liver. 2. The presence of electrophoretically and immunologically specific components among NHCP1 and NHCP2 fractions during Kirkman-Robbins hepatoma growth was stated.

Non-histone protein fraction NHCP2 eluted from hydroxyapatite with 100 mM phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) of undigested, nuclease-sensitive and nuclease-resistant nuclei of hamster Kirkman-Robbins hepatoma and liver was studied by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and microcomplement fixation test in the presence of antibodies elicited against NHCP2 of examined tissues. The NHCP2 of undigested nuclei as well as from two chromatin fractions with different susceptibility to nuclease of both tissues, besides many common components, showed some differences in their non-histone patterns especially within molecular weights of 17,000-24,000, 36,000-44,000 and 60,000-90,000. Immunological analysis confirmed the high specificity of hepatoma non-histone components of the NHCP2 fraction. However, these components appeared not to be exclusively localized either in nuclease-sensitive or nuclease-resistant part of chromatin of neoplastic tissue.

The specificity of Kirkman-Robbins hepatoma and hamster liver non-histone chromatin proteins has been studied by comparing polypeptide patterns in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and by their immunological activity in the complement fixation test. Non-histone proteins were separated from DNA with a polyethylene glycol-dextran mixture and fractionated by hydroxylapatite chromatography into three classes named NHCP1, NHCP2, and NHCP3. Electrophoretic analysis indicated that among the non-histone proteins of Kirkman-Robbins hepatoma and hamster liver differences mainly of a quantitative nature can be observed. However, the polypeptides with molecular weight 25 000, 31 000, 36 000, 73 000 in NHCP1; 20 000, 40 000 in NHCP2 and 20 000, 23 000, 32 000, 38 000, 44 000, 75 000, 80 000 in NHCP3 were found to be specific for hepatoma chromatin. Application of antibodies against NHCP1, NHCP2 and dehistonized chromatin of Kirkman-Robbins hepatoma revealed that the highest specificity of NHCP2 eluted from hydroxylapatite with 100 mM phosphate buffer at pH 6.8. The NHCP1 of hepatoma shares some common antigenic determinants with analogous proteins of liver. On the other hand non-histone proteins specific for hepatoma dehistonized chromatin can be localized in the NHCP3 and partially in the NHCP1 fractions.

Micrococcal nuclease-sensitive (SP) and nuclease-resistant (PP) chromatin fractions from Kirkman-Robbins hepatoma and hamster liver were obtained. The molecular distribution of three non-histone proteins (NHCP1, NHCP2 and NHCP3), histones, and chromatin-bound protease activity between SP and PP fractions of both tissues was compared. Differences, mainly of quantitative nature, among non-histone proteins of neoplastic and normal tissue were observed. Moreover, it was found that polypeptides with mol. wt 81 000 (NHCP1), 39 000 (NHCP2) and 21 000, 35 000, 37 000 (NHCP1), 70 000, 112 000, 141 000, 157 000 (NHCP2), 30 000-33 000 (NHCP3) were associated only with the nuclease-sensitive part of chromatin of hepatoma and normal tissue, respectively. A major difference in histone composition of hamster hepatoma and liver concerns histones H2A and H1. Furthermore, an enrichment of high mobility group proteins as well as other soluble non-histone proteins in an acid extract of the SP fraction was observed. Apparently chromatin-bound protease activity can be found in both fractions of chromatin.
