We have isolated and characterized for the first time the chromosomal proteins from the nucleus of the sperm of a lancelet (amphioxus) Branchiostoma floridae (Hubbs, 1922) (Phylum Chordata: Subphylum Cephalochordata) and of a lamprey Petromyzon marinus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Phylum Chordata: Subphylum Vertebrata: Class Agnatha). In the first case, the major protein component of the sperm-chromatin of a lancelet is a highly specialized protamine-like (PL) protein that has structural and compositional features similar to those of PL-III from bivalve mollusks. In contrast, the chromatin of the sperm of the lamprey has a structural arrangement and protein composition (histones) very similar to that found in the somatic cells of all eukaryotic organisms. Among the deuterostomes, chromosomal protein variability is considerably greater in representatives of the Phylum Chordata than in echinoderms. The possible evolutionary significance of these findings is discussed.
