Abstract

The oligomeric structure of histones in nuclei and chromatin has been studied by crosslinking nuclei and chromatin with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide. Crosslinked histones were detected as new high molecular weight components on SDS gels, and the protomers of the crosslinked histones were identified by their characteristic 125I-fingerprints. The results show that a considerable portion of histones F3 and F2a1 exist in nuclei and chromatin as an F3-F2a1 dimer. Evidence is presented that histone F1 probably exists in chromatin as large oligomers.
