The analysis of 40 kDa nuclear protein, p40, in interphase cells and mitotic cells

We previously reported that the monoclonal antibody M108 recognized a 40 kDa protein both in the nucleus and the cytoplasm. This nuclear 40 kDa antigen was located in the nuclear envelope in interphase cells and in the perichromosomal region during mitosis. Now, we have analyzed this nuclear 40 kDa protein (p40) further, through morphological and biochemical approaches. At the beginning of mitosis, the perinuclear p40 detached from the nuclear envelope and moved to surround the condensing chromatin, while in the late stage of mitosis, the perichromosomal p40 moved back to the reassembled nuclear envelope. Most of the perichromosomal p40 on the metaphase chromosome was solubilized only by DNase I treatment, not by either high salt or detergent treatment. On the other hand, the perinuclear p40 was not solubilized by DNase1 alone, or high salt detergent alone. Sequential treatments with DNase I and high salt detergent were required to extract p40 in interphase nuclei. These results suggest that p40 was associated both with the nuclear envelope and chromatin DNA in interphase nuclei, while it bound only to chromatin DNA in mitosis.
