Abstract

Association of DNA with the nuclear membrane was studied in the naturally synchronous slime mold Physarum polycephalum. Sucrose gradient analyses showed that DNA is bound to the membrane during all stages of interphase. The association is labile, but can be stabilized by spermine, which presumably acts on the membrane. Experiments with pulse-labeled DNA suggest that replication does not occur at a membranal site.
