[Inhibition of nuclear histone proteolysis by nucleotides].
Effects of nucleotides on the proteolysis of histones in nuclei incubated at 37 degrees C during 1, 3 and 20 h were studied. It has been shown that the H1 histone is removed first during proteolysis and then the H3 and H2B histones are digested. The H4 histone is not cleaved even after 20 h incubation. PMSF and ATP inhibit the H1 cleavage when its structure was not disturbed before ATP, CTP, ADP, NAD+, AMP and NADH inhibit the partial cleavage of the core histones H3 and H2B. ATP, CTP, AMP and NADH prevent the total digestion of H2B. ATP and, at lower extent, CTP prevent the H3 digestion. ATP, CTP, ADP and NAD+ inhibit the cleavage of the H2A histone in the experiments with 20 h incubation, when H4 is only resistant in the absence of nucleotides. The data obtained suggest an important role of ATP and other nucleotides in maintaining the structure of histones and chromatin.
