Cross-linking of histone H5 in hen erythrocyte nuclei.
Following treatment of hen erythrocyte nuclei with dimethyl 3,3'-dithiobispropionimidate, dimers between histones H1a, H1b, and H5 were extracted with 5% perchloric acid. They resolved electrophoretically into four sub-bands and these were identified by non-reducing/reducing gel electrophoresis. The H5-H5 homodimer species was purified by gel electrophoresis and was treated sequentially with BrCN and dithiothreitol. The pattern of resulting fragments indicates that cross-links were mainly formed between the COOH-terminal portions and at a significantly lower frequency between the COOH-terminal and the NH2-terminal portions.
