The effect of DNA-histone interactions on the biosynthesis of DNA in vitro
Calf-thymus histone fractions were found to inhibit the biosynthesis of DNA in vitro to a substantial extent. The inhibition could be explained on the basis of DNA-histone interaction. The very lysine-rich histones (Fraction 1) complexed with DNA most readily and inhibited the DNA replication at a histone-DNA ratio of 1:1 and higher. Higher ratios of the moderately lysine-rich histones (Fraction 2b) and of the arginine-rich histones (Fractions 2a and 3) were required. Complete inhibition was observed only at ratios of histone-DNA of 2:1 and higher. Histone stabilizes the helical molecule of DNA towards heat denaturation. Melting temperatures of reconstituted nucleohistones were determined. Most resistant to the heat denaturation were nucleohistones with a high content of lysine whereas the arginine-rich nucleohistones showed melting temperatures close to those of the DNA.
