  • Title: Fractionation of avian erythrocyte histones by hydrophobic interaction chromatography.
    Author: Seligy VL.
    Journal: Can J Biochem; 1978 Sep; 56(9):880-4. PubMed ID: 31971.
    Abstract:
    The interactions of H1 (H1A, H1B), H2A, H2B, H3, H4, and H5 with phenyl cross-linked agarose were studied. Procedures are described whereby all six histones can be bound, released, and fractionated by using appropriate salt concentrations or pH. The binding can be totally abolished by inclusion of hydrophobic disrupting agents. Control experiments with nonderivated cross-linked agarose ruled out a passive aggregation-disaggregation phenomenon governing the binding patterns. The absorption sequence based on the identification and quantitation of individual histones from either unfractionated (whole) histone or separate histone classes is as follows: H3 greater than or equal to H4 greater than H2B greater than or equal to H5 greater than or equal to H2A greater than H1A greater than or equal to H1B. The order differs only slightly from the reverse of the desorption sequence, H1B less than or equal to H1A less than or equal to H5 less than H2A less than or equal to H3. Preferential interaction of H2A-H2B, H3-H4, and H2A-H2B-H4 occur; these interactions can modify the original relative affinity of each individual component for the matrix. The variability in matrix affinity appears to involve simple stoichiometry of the histone components.
