Modulation of linker histones during development in Tetrahymena: selective elimination of linker histone during the differentiation of new macronuclei.

Abstract:

:Macronuclei of Tetrahymena thermophila contain a typical H1 which has been shown to be missing from micronuclei. Instead, micronuclei contain three unique polypeptides, alpha, beta, and gamma, which are associated with linker regions of micronuclear chromatin. In this report polyclonal antibodies raised against macronuclear H1 are shown to react with alpha, beta, and gamma by immunoblotting analyses. This result suggests that these polypeptides share some common structural feature(s). Also consistent with this result is the finding that both macro- and micronuclei in growing and mating cells stain positively with H1 antibodies by in situ indirect immunofluorescence. However, these analyses demonstrate that the level of linker histone is greatly reduced in the micronucleus of starved cells and in young macronuclear anlagen. These results are in agreement with earlier biochemical studies and together provide strong evidence that dramatic changes in linker histone accompany nuclear differentiation (and dedifferentiation) in Tetrahymena.
