摘要：
The ubiquitin mediated pathway constitutes an early response in cultured cells where apoptosis, assessed by internucleosomal specific DNA fragmentation, was induced by serum withdrawal. Data demonstrate that nuclear ubiquitin proteolytic system, but not cytoplasmic, is activated. This activation is paralleled by a substantial chromatin de-condensation. We suggest that chromatin relaxation is causative of the fragmentation since it exposes the DNA to nucleolytic attack. Finally, maintenance of homeostasis and induction of apoptosis seem to undergo a parallel contemporary pathway with a possible mutual feedback.
