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
(
Dynamically Acetylated Histone Association with
Transcriptionally Active and Competent Genes in the Avian Adult
-Globin Gene Domain*
A-globin) but not competent DNA (
-globin).
Chromatin salt solubility (chromatin fiber oligomerization) is directly
influenced by hyperacetylation. In this study we investigated the
association of class 1 histones with
A- and
-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
A- and
-globin DNA in this fraction. In chromatin
immunoprecipitation assays, we found that the
A- and
-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.
