The fractionation of arginine-rich histones from fetal calf thymus by exclusion chromatography.

The arginine-rich histone complex from fetal calf thymus was found to contain 12 or more histone components by electrophoretic analysis on polyacrylamide gels. The arginine-rich histone complex was resolved into five distinct peaks b,y exclusion chromatography on Sephadex G-100 columns 300 cm in height and 7.6 cm in diameter, with 0.01 M HCl as the eluent. Of the five peaks obtained, two (Peaks...

Histones in crenarchaea.

Archaeal histone-encoding genes have been identified in marine Crenarchaea. The protein encoded by a representative of these genes, synthesized in vitro and expressed in Escherichia coli, binds DNA and forms complexes with properties typical of an archaeal histone. The discovery of histones in Crenarchaea supports the argument that histones evolved before the divergence of Archaea and Eukarya.
