Mouse nuclear matrix proteins, examined by a filter assay, were found to bind to DNA. There was no preference for homologous mouse compared to heterologous E. coli DNA. Competition assays showed a preference for AT-rich DNA and of the 4 single-stranded homopolymers there was a preference for poly(dT). These observations are consistent with the possibility that the matrix may play a role in the formation of AT-rich chromomeres (G-bands).

Using the Southwestern blot analysis we have studied the interactions between rat repetitive sequence MspI8 and the nuclear matrix proteins of rat testis cells. Starting from 2 weeks the young to adult animals showed differences in type of testis nuclear matrix proteins recognizing the MspI8 sequence. The same sets of nuclear matrix proteins were detected in some fractions enriched in spermatocytes and spermatides and obtained after fractionation of testis cells of adult animals by the velocity sedimentation technique.

The binding of [14C]benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) to DNA and proteins in total nuclei and subnuclear fractions of cultured rat hepatocytes was compared. The main targets of B[a]P were non-histone high molecular weight proteins of the nuclear matrix and DNA sequences attached to this structure. Following 24 h exposure to B[a]P the amounts of adducts in the nuclear matrix DNA and proteins were twice as high as in total nuclei. After withdrawal of the carcinogen containing medium the level of B[a]P-induced adducts gradually decreased but always remained the highest in the nuclear matrix proteins. Removal of adducts from the nuclear matrix DNA was more efficient than from the other DNA fractions, and 72 h after exposure to the carcinogen the level of DNA adducts in this fraction was similar to that in total nuclei.
