During mitosis, a single nucleus gives rise to two nuclei that are identical to the parent nucleus. Mitosis consists of a continuous sequence of events that must be carried out once and only once. Two such important events are the disassembly of the nuclear envelope (NE) during the first stages of m

β¦ Synopsis
The three most abundant nonhistone polypeptides (molecular weights 75,000, 7 1,000 and 61,000) of the avian erythrocyte nucleus have previously been iso- lated in the nuclear envelope fraction. They have been separated by sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and peptide-mapped after limited enzymatic digestion. Three enzymes -chymotrypsin, papain and Staphylococcus aureus protease -were used. Results obtained with each enzyme indicate strong similarities between the three nuclear envelope polypeptides. The amino acid compositions of the two most abundant polypeptides (P75 and P7 1) have been determined and found to be similar. Further, they readily yield large fragments upon brief alkaline hydrolysis. For both P75 and P71 the degree and the pattern of alkaline fragmentation are almost identical. A 61.000-dalton polypeptide which appears t o be P61 is obtained from P75 and P7 1 by mild acid hydrolysis. These results establish the close chemical similarity of these predominant polypeptides in the erythrocyte nucleus and suggest that they serve related functions.

## The nuclear envelope has recently become the object of intense scrutiny because it is the site of nuclear transport and is possibly involved in the organization of the interphase genome, thereby aflecting gene expression. The major structural support for the nuclear envelope is the nuclear lamina
