When incubated in vitro purified mouse nuclei incorporate NAD into poly(ADP-Rib). Analysis of the product on CsDl/urea gradients showed that a large proportion of the poly(ADP-Rib) was not attached to protein. The free poly(ADP-Rib) did not appear to arise through degradation and its chain length was significantly longer than the poly(ADP-Rib) attached to proteins. Fractionation of the proteins on hydroxyapatite revealed that tissue-specific modification of both the histones and non-histone proteins, had occurred. In the case of one protein species there was evidence for the existence of several forms with different numbers of ADP-Rib residues.
