The issue of whether histone H1 is present in transcriptionally active chromatin has been approached by studying the effect specific anti-H1 antibodies have on in vitro transcription in isolated nuclei. To that end, the incorporation of radioactive RNA precursors into trichloroacetic acid-precipitable material was compared for control nuclei and nuclei that had been preincubated with specific anti-H1 antibody populations (whole sera, affinity-purified immunoglobulins and monovalent Fab fragments). The anti-H1 antibodies significantly and reproducibly inhibited the transcriptional activity in isolated nuclei. Experiments were also performed to exclude the possibility that the inhibition observed was due to some long-distance effect of the binding of the antibodies to chromatin. The results are interpreted as indicating that active gene chromatin does contain histone H1. |
