مستخلص: | The small Japanese field mouse Apodemus argenteus has the diploid chromosome number of 46, carrying rather large centromeric C-heterochromatin in most of the 44 autosomes and a large amount of C-heterochromatin in the sex chromosomes: the largest subtelocentric X was heterochromatic in almost two-fifth (whole short arm and proximal part of the long arm) of its entire length and the medium-sized acrocentric Y was totally heterochromatic. The C-heterochromatin (C-positive) areas, other than those of the Y and smallest three pairs, had a unique property of "delayed QM-fluorescence", which has not been reported to-date, showing dull QM-fluorescence immediately after exposure to blue light (BL), but gradually turning to bright fluorescence in a few minutes. The fluorescence intensity gradually decreased after attaining its peak, and finally became extinct. A similar pattern of fluorescence was also obtained in DA/DAPI-stained-X chromosome C-heterochromatin, but not in autosomal C-heterochromatin. No such dull-to-bright transition of QM-fluorescence could be obtained by CMA staining, for which the C-positive areas were apparently negative even after overexposure to BL. These facts indicate that the C-positive areas of A. argenteus showing dull-to-bright transition of QM-fluorescence contain A-T rich DNA. The delayed QM-fluorescence was found only in A. argenteus, in thirteen mammalian species so-far examined. Furthermore, this unique property of QM-fluorescence could be artificially altered to non-delayed ordinary type of fluorescence by sequentially pretreating the fixed chromosomes with hydrochloride and barium hydroxide solutions. The cytological implication of the delayed fluorescence in the C-heterochromatin of A. argenteus is briefly discussed. |
