A nuclear matrix fraction was prepared from ovaries of the achiasmatic flour moth, Ephestia kuehniella, by removal of the chromatin, using detergent treatment of homogenized ovaries or dissected ovary tips followed by DNase digestion and high salt extraction. Removal of DNA and histones from the nuclei was demonstrated by Feulgen staining and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), respectively. By light microscopy, ribbon-like structures similar in dimension to the synaptonemal complex were observed in the oocyte after digestion of the chromosomes. Electron microscopic examination of matrix preparations of pachytene cells showed a defined synaptonemal complex structure with both lateral and central elements. Such structures were not found in either the fully differentiated nurse cells or in follicle cells which were exposed to the same preparative technique concurrently. However, in early post-pachytene nurse cells the typical polycomplex structures, formed in these cells from the synaptonemal complex, were found in nuclear matrix preparations. The results suggest an association of synaptonemal complexes with the nuclear matrix.
