Rapid isolation of yeast nuclei

  • Published:
Current Genetics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A procedure has been developed for the rapid isolation of yeast nuclei in high yield using Percoll gradients. The nuclei are substantially free of cytoplasmic contamination as measured by alcohol dehydrogenase activities, have the typical chromatin digestion pattern when digested with nucleases, are useful for isolation of nuclear proteins and for in vitro transcription experiments.
