A new method was developed for isolating subcellular components after fixation of whole cells [hepatoma tissue culture] with formaldehyde. By a number of criteria it was established that the fixation does not alter or cause rearrangement of nucleosomal structure of either newly replicated or old chromatin. This approach can be used to almost completely resolve newly replicated chromatin from preexisting material on the basis of the difference in density. Newly replicated chromatin (even from cycloheximide-treated cells) appears to contain nucleosomes on both daughter strands. By exploiting the ability to separate newly synthesized chromatin, the question of the deposition of new histone at the replication fork was reexamined. Newly synthesized histones H3 and H4 are deposited onto new DNA and stay in place for a significant time. New H1 is deposited an old DNA and new H2A-H2B, while they may be transiently bound to new DNA, are largely associated with preexisting chromatin.
