Dynamically Acetylated Histone Association with Transcriptionally Active and Competent Genes in the Avian Adult beta -Globin Gene Domain*

Virginia A. Spencer and James R. DavieDagger

From the Manitoba Institute of Cell Biology, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3E 0V9, Canada

In chicken immature erythrocytes, class 1 acetylated histones are rapidly tri- and tetra-acetylated and rapidly deacetylated. Class 2 acetylated H3 and H4 are rapidly acetylated to mono- and di-acetylated isoforms and slowly deacetylated. Our previous studies suggested that class 1 acetylated histones were primarily associated with transcriptionally active DNA (beta A-globin) but not competent DNA (epsilon -globin). Chromatin salt solubility (chromatin fiber oligomerization) is directly influenced by hyperacetylation. In this study we investigated the association of class 1 histones with beta A- and epsilon -globin DNA by measuring their loss of solubility rates in 150 mM NaCl and 3 mM MgCl2 as a function of hyperacetylated histone deacetylation. Expressed and competent chromatin was associated with class 1 acetylated histones. As most active chromatin and hyperacetylated histones are associated with the low salt-insoluble residual nuclear material containing the nuclear matrix, we investigated whether hyperacetylated histones are bound to the beta A- and epsilon -globin DNA in this fraction. In chromatin immunoprecipitation assays, we found that the beta A- and epsilon -globin coding regions are bound to hyperacetylated H3 and H4. Our observations are consistent with a model in which nuclear matrix-associated histone acetyltransferases and deacetylases mediate a dynamic attachment between active and competent chromatin and the nuclear matrix.
