Abstract
Protein fractions were obtained from Kluyveromyces fragilis by pH titration, a technique used for histone extraction, following the inclusion of a distilled water extraction stage, and the fractions partially characterized. The inclusion of a distilled water step resulted in a tenfold purification of the fraction obtained at pH 2.20 as compared with pH titration alone. In synchronous cultures induced with 2β²βdeoxyadenosine or prepared by selection this fraction displayed a stepwise accumulation, and doubled in quantity at a point about one third of a cycle after cell division. The fraction obtained at pH 1.35 resembled calf thymus f2a2 histone in its extraction properties and amino acid composition, and also showed a possible stepwise accumulation. Other fractions appear to accumulate exponentially.
