Internal structure of the chromatin subunit.

The digestion of chromatin insitu with DNase I reveals, after denaturation, a regular series of single stranded DNA fragments the lengths of which represent multiples of 10 bases. These experiments are compatible with the DNA being on the outside of the chromatin subunit and suggest that the subunit structure itself contains repetitive structural elements. Possible models are discussed.

Initiation factor IF-3-dependent binding of Escherichia coli ribosomes and N-formylmethionine transfer-RNA to rabbit globin messenger.

An initiation complex has been formed in high yields from E. coli ribosomes, 9S messenger RNA for rabbit hemoglobin, and N-formylmethionine-tRNA. Initiation factor IF-3 is required for the binding and puromycin is required for the release of fMet. Valyl-tRNA fails to bind to the second codon, whereas a mixture of 15 aminoacyl-tRNAs promotes incorporation. Together with quantitative data, the findings suggest that IF-3 directs the ribosomes to an AUG codon on one of the two globin messengers, at a site that is different from the normal starting point for globin synthesis.
