A comparison of the histone H1 complements of avian erythrocytes.
1. Histone H1 from chicken, turkey, duck and goose erythrocytes was resolved into six bands and that from quail into seven bands in an acetic acid-urea polyacrylamide gel. 2. A fast migrating minor subtype H1.e was detected in avian erythrocytes using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. 3. Although histone subtype H1.z from quail, turkey and duck was well separated in acid-urea gel, a similar protein in goose was found only in two-dimensional gel. This spot was absent in chicken. 4. Histone H1 spots .c, .c' and .d migrate in two-dimensional gel in a relatively constant manner forming a triangle-shaped pattern that facilitates comparison of H1 subtypes among various avian species.
