Poly(adenylic acid) polymerase was extracted from liver nuclei and mitochondria of rats either fed ad libitum, starved overnight or starved and then re-fed with a complete amino acid mixture for 1-3 h. The enzymes were partially purified and assayed by using exogenous primers. Starvation resulted in an 80% decrease in the total activity of the purified nuclear enzyme, and the mitochondrial enzyme activity diminished to almost zero after overnight starvation. Measurements of the protein content of whole nuclei or mitochondria and of the enzyme extracts from these organelles indicated that the decrease in enzyme activity on starvation was not caused by incomplete extraction of the enzyme from the starved animals. Re-feeding the animals with the complete amino acid mixture increased the total activity of poly(A) polymerase from the nuclei and mitochondria by 1.9-fold and 63-fold respectively. Under these conditions, the total protein content of the nuclei and mitochondria increased by only 13 and 32% respectively. These data indicate that poly(A) polymerase is one of the cellular proteins specifically regulated by amino acid supply.

Extraction of chicken reticulocyte and erythrocyte chromatins with 2 M NaCl yields a small fraction (about 5%) of the total DNA which is very tightly bound to a class of nonhistone chromatin proteins (DNA–P). This DNA fraction has previously been shown to be significantly enriched in active gene sequences. The proteins associated with reticulocyte and erythrocyte DNA–P were analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Reticulocyte DNA–P yield predominantly three major proteins, designated G1, G2, and G3 with relative masses of 80 000, 50 000, and 58 000, respectively. Erythrocyte DNA–P show only two proteins which appear to be similar to the reticulocyte G1 and G2 proteins, except in much reduced quantities as revealed by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Amino acid analysis of the three reticulocyte proteins revealed that the ratio of acidic to basic amino acid residues increased in the order G1 < G2 < G3, while the respective isoelectric points also increased in that order.
