A non-histone protein core was described which could be isolated from Chinese hamster metaphase chromosomes. This core structure maintained the overall morphology of the metaphase chromosome even after removal of all of the histones, together with many of the non-histone proteins and the bulk of the DNA. A novel procedure was developed for the isolation of metaphase chromosomes which avoids the use of high pH buffers and hexylene glycol, as well as eliminating the numerous centrifugation and resuspension steps previously employed. Chromosome cores prepared by 2 M NaCl extraction and DNase I digestion from metaphase chromosomes isolated under these more gentle, quasi-physiological conditions, are shown to contain a relatively simple subset of non-histone proteins. One-dimensional SDS[sodium dodecyl sulfate]-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis shows 2 major groups of polypeptides having MW 48,000-52,000 and 65,000-72,000 D [dalton], respectively, with similarities in mobilities to the nuclear pore complex-lamina polypeptides and tubulins. More detailed analysis by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis and peptide mapping has failed to detect these proteins. A 52,000 D polypeptide component of the core is tentatively identified as the intermediate filament protein vimentin. The in vivo significance of chromosome cores is discussed.
