RESUMO
The synthesis of nuclear DNA and possible attachment sites of chromatin in the cells of cotton (Gossypium barbadense) radicles during germination was investigated. Biochemical analysis of nuclear membrane fragments or Sarkosyl-magnesium-membrane complexes indicates that the DNA, including newly replicated DNA, is attached to the nuclear membranes during periods of active synthesis. Electron micrographs of nuclear membrane fragments indicate a physical association between chromatin fibers and the membranes. The attachment site appears to be proteinaceous, since the chromatin is released by protein degradative enzymes as evidenced by biochemical techniques and electron microscopic observations. Short-term labeling results in incorporation into a membrane-associated product indistinguishable from the bulk of nuclear DNA. DNA polymerase activity is also associated with nuclear membrane preparations in which [3H]thymidine triphosphate is incorporated into an acid-insoluble. DNase-sensitive product.
