RESUMO
The position of replication origins and replication forks relative to the nuclear matrix was analysed by autoradiography. Analysis of 2M NaCl-extracted extracted BHK-nuclei, prepared on coverslips, showed that after brief pulses grains were exclusively found over the central core of the residual nuclei, which corresponds to positions in the nuclear matrix. In asynchronous cells these grains were found to migrate into the DNA-halo surrounding the matrix during a subsequent chase. When the pulse had been administered to synchronous cells at the onset of S-phase, it was observed, however, that in the majority of the structures no such migration had occurred. From this, and from the fact that label incorporated later in S-phase could be chased into the halo, we conclude that, contrary to DNA in replication forks, DNA containing replication origins is permanently attached to the nuclear matrix.
