We compared the protein composition of the nuclear matrix isolated from several murine embryonal carcinoma cells and mature tissues by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Two nuclear matrix fractions were investigated: the "peripheral" nuclear matrix (matrix proteins that remain insoluble after reduction), and the "internal" nuclear matrix (matrix proteins released by reduction). The two subfractions have completely different protein compositions. Although numerous differences in nuclear matrix protein composition among different cell types were observed, a limited set of polypeptides common to all mouse cell types was identified. A majority of these common proteins was also present in cells from other mammalian species (i.e. rat and human). For this set of proteins, we coin the term "minimal matrix." As expected, lamin B, known to be expressed throughout differentiation, is part of the common set of peripheral nuclear matrix proteins. Lamins A and C are not because these proteins were absent from undifferentiated embryonal carcinoma cells. Since these common nuclear matrix proteins occur in all mammalian nuclear matrices analyzed so far, it is likely that they have a basic role in nuclear organization and function.
