RESUMO
The process of fractionation of total calf thymus DNA using a step precipitation of DNA by means of increasing concentrations of the homologous histone KAP was investigated. In addition to the known fractions three so far undescribed ones/in thymus/,characterized by buoyant densities in CsCl equal 1.692, 1.706 and 1.728 g/ccm, were identified. Considerable amounts of preparations seriously enriched in individual satellite fractions were obtained. The ability of GC-rich satellite DNAs to form more soluble complexes with histone KAP is suggested as reason for the observed fractionation.
