The correlation between the rates of nuclear polypeptide synthesis (NPS) and matrix protein synthesis in rat liver cells was investigated. It was shown that NPS is activated under conditions of protein synthesis inhibition in the cytoplasm. Model experiments revealed that the NPS and ADP ribosylation systems compete for chromatin structure: ADP ribosylation induces condensation, while NPS--decondensation of chromatin.
