Histone 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 کاملReassociation of histone H1 to H1-depleted polynucleosomes.
A new procedure is described for the reassociation of histone H1 to rat liver polynucleosomes selectively depleted of H1 and nonhistone proteins. The fidelity of reconstitution was scrutinized by nuclease digestion and sedimentation studies monitoring the regeneration of structural features which disappear following removal of H1. The results demonstrate that the 166-base pair barrier of digest...
متن کاملProthymosin alpha modulates the interaction of histone H1 with chromatin
Prothymosin alpha (ProTalpha) is an abundant acidic nuclear protein that may be involved in cell proliferation. In our search for its cellular partners, we have recently found that ProTalpha binds to linker histone H1. We now provide further evidence for the physiological relevance of this interaction by immunoisolation of a histone H1-ProTalpha complex from NIH 3T3 cell extracts. A detailed an...
متن کاملDistribution of the H1 histone subfractions in Syrian hamster chromatin fractions.
Chromatin from two Syrian hamster tissues: the Kirkman-Robbins hepatoma and the liver, has been separated into soluble (S) and insoluble (P) fractions. Both fractions contain the complete set of five main histones but differ in respect of H1 subfractions. The hepatoma chromatin is known to contain an unusual H1 subfraction, H1 slow [12, 13], probably identical with a similar subfraction present...
متن کاملChromatin structure: Linking structure to function with histone H1
A recent study has determined the position and orientation in the nucleosome of the H1 variant 'linker histone' H5; the results focus attention on the unknown function of this highly abundant nuclear protein, and highlight the question of whether H1 is primarily an architectural or a gene-regulatory protein.
