Non-histone chromosomal protein HMG1 modulates the histone H1-induced condensation of DNA

LA Kohlstaedt, EC Sung, A Fujishige and RD Cole

Circular dichroic spectra revealed that the previously known regular, asymmetric condensation of DNA by H1 histone was modulated by HMG1, a nonhistone chromosomal protein. Under approximately physiological salt and pH conditions (150 mM NaCl, pH 7), ellipticities at 270 nm were observed as follows: DNA, 9 X 10(3) degree, cm2/dmol nucleotide; DNA X H1 histone complex (1:0.4, w/w), -37 X 10(3) degree, cm2/dmol nucleotide, and DNA X H1 X HMG1 complex (1:0.4:0.4 w/w/w), -52 X 10(3) degree, cm2/dmol. HMG1 by itself did not distort the spectrum of DNA, showing that the effect of HMG1 on the DNA X H1 complex was not simply the summation of individual effects of HMG1 and H1 on the DNA spectrum. The effect of added HMG1 on the spectrum of the preformed DNA X H1 complex depended on the amount of HMG1 added and developed slowly (a day) as if a structure required annealing. The ternary complex, DNA X HMG1 X 1, seemed to represent a specific structure, since its formation depeNded on the reduced sulfhydryl state of HMG1; the disulfide form of HMG1, which was shown by circular dichroism to contain more random coil than did the reduced form, had no effect on the circular dichroic spectrum of the DNA X H1 complex.
