4–44 You have been sent the first samples of a newly discovered Martian microorganism for analysis of its chromatin. The cells resemble Earthly eukaryotes and are composed of similar molecules, including DNA, which is located within a nucleus-like structure in the cell. One member of your team has identified two basic histone-like proteins associated with the DNA in roughly an equal mass ratio with the DNA. You isolate nuclei from the cells and treat them with micrococcal nuclease for various times. You then extract the DNA and run it on an agarose gel alongside DNA from rat-liver nuclei that had been briefly digested with micrococcal nuclease. As shown in Figure 4–9, the digest of rat-liver nuclei gives a standard ladder of nucleosomes, but the digest of the Martian organism gives a smear of products with a nuclease-resistant limit of about 300 nucleotides. As a control, you isolate the Martian DNA free of all protein and digest it with micrococcal nuclease: it is completely…
