Abstract

The poly(ADP-ribosylation) of histones, which occurs within a limited and functionally specific domain of chromatin, is a novel post-translational modification. However, in the past it has been difficult to study this process in living cells because the substrate of the reaction (NAD) does not permeate the plasma membrane. In the current study, antibodies specific for histone H1 and poly(ADP-ribose) were used to study the occurrence of poly(ADP-ribose)+ species of H1 in vivo. Perchloric acid-extracted proteins from synchronously growing HeLa cells were fractionated by electrophoresis and transferred to nitrocellulose, and the transferred moieties were allowed to react with the specific antibodies and then with 125I-labeled protein A. The results conclusively demonstrate the natural occurrence of poly(ADP-ribose)-crosslinked complexes of histone H1 (i.e., H1 dimer), at the S/G2 phase transition of the cell cycle.
