Abstract
Chicken erythrocyte inner histones associate with a cloned 260-base-pair (bp) segment of Lytechinus variegatus DNA in a unique location. The fragment contains a 120-bp segment encoding 5S rRNA, a 90-bp flanking sequence to the 5' side of the transcribed segment, and a 50-bp downstream flanking sequence. Association of DNA, uniquely labeled at one end or the other and at either the 3' or the 5' terminus of a given strand, with histones at 0.1 M ionic strength leads to formation of a compact complex which sediments at about 13 S. Analysis of cutting of the complex by DNase I shows that protection from the nuclease is confined to a region beginning 20 bp from the left end of the segment and extending to about 165 bp from the left end. Within the protected region, the two DNA strands differ in their susceptibilities to the nuclease, the precise location of nuclease cutting sites and the spacing between these sites, and the relative susceptibilities of specific cutting locations. It seems that information present in DNA and the histone octomer is sufficient to create a precisely phased nucleosome in which interactions of the two DNA strands with histones are not the same. The structure of this unique nucleosome is not predicted by the intellectual model based on studies of mixed populations of nucleosome core particles.
