Condensation of polynucleosome by histone H1 binding.
The cooperative binding of histone H1 to polynucleosome was studied quantitatively. The equilibrium and kinetic data were satisfactorily described in terms of the large ligand model. The binding constant K and the cooperativity parameter q showed remarkable salt effects: K = 7.5 X 10(7) M-1 and q = 1.3 X 10(4) at 0.2 M NaCl, pH 7.5 and 20 degrees C. This considerably strong cooperativity reveal...
متن کاملThe distribution of H1 histone is nonuniform in chromatin and correlates with different degrees of condensation.
Salt induces aggregation of large chromatin fragments maximally at 150-200 mM NaCl. The soluble fragments are depleted of H1 histones while the aggregated fragments are enriched. H1 histones did not equilibrate between the soluble and insoluble chromatin fractions when they were recycled through the process of salt-induced aggregation. The chromatin fragments that resisted aggregation retained ...
متن کاملHistone H1 gets Pin’d onto chromatin
Histone H1 gets Pin'd onto chromatin T he proline isomerase Pin1 limits chromosome decon-densation by stabilizing a histone's association with chromatin, Raghuram et al. reveal. Histone H1 incorporates into nucleosomes to enhance chromatin folding and condensation. Phosphory-lation by the cyclin-dependent kinase Cdk2 promotes H1's dissociation from chromatin, perhaps by altering the conformatio...
متن کاملDistribution of H1 histone in chromatin digested by micrococcal nuclease.
The relative amount of H1 histone associated with isolated nucleosomes from calf thymus was determined as a function of the extent of DNA digestion by micrococcal nuclease. Generally the amount of H1 histone associated with mononucleosomes decreases with increasing digestion until 60% of the original H1 remains associated with DNA 150 base pirs or less in size. Coincidentally, H1 histone increa...
متن کاملOptimal histone H3 to linker histone H1 chromatin ratio is vital for mesodermal competence in Xenopus.
Cellular differentiation during embryogenesis involves complex gene regulation to enable the activation and repression of genes. Here, we show that mesodermal competence is inhibited in Xenopus embryos depleted of histones H3 and H3.3, which fail to respond to Nodal/Activin signaling and exhibit concomitant loss of mesodermal gene expression. We find that transcriptional activation in gastrula ...
