When active chromatin is released as a Mg-soluble fraction following digestion of nuclei with DNAse II, as concomitant release of HMG proteins, and hnRNP particles occurs. Release of HMG 14 and 17 is dependent on active chromatin release, whereas HMG 1 and 2, and hnRNP particles are released in an independent process. The Mg-soluble fraction comprises a heterogenous mixture of particles of less compact conformation than normal nucleosomes, and prone to protein-induced aggregation. Histone H1, and HMG 14 and 17 appear to be associated with these particles in a reversible manner, whereas HMG 1 and 2 are unbound.
