Sites of in vivo histone methylation in developing trout testis

B. M. Honda, G. H. Dixon and E. P. Candido

Specific lysyl residues of trout testis histones H3 and H4 are methylated partially during rainbow trout spermatogenesis. Histones H1, H2A, H2B, and protamine are not methylated. The single site (lysine 20) in histone H4 and the two major sites (lysines 9 and 27) in histone H3 are homologous to those determined for other organisms, but an additional minor site (lysine 4) occurs in histone H3. As described for calf thymus, both histones H3 and H4 contain epsilon-N-mono- and dimethyllysine, while histone H3 contains in addition, epsilon-N-trimethyllysine. The trout-specific histone H6, which accounts for 0.5 to 1.0% of total histone, contains a sequence for residues 3 to 5,-Arg-Lys-Ser-, which is the same as one methylated in histones H3, at lysines 9 and 27. However, histone H6 yields only trace amounts of [3H]methyl incorporation and no detectable methyllysines on amino acid analysis.
