摘要
The folding ability of chromatin fractions containing approximately identical nucleosome numbers and the same linker histone composition, but with different extents of core histone acetylation, were analyzed by analytical ultracentrifugation. It was found that the acetylated fractions consistently exhibited a relatively small but significantly lower extent of compaction than that of their native nonacetylated counterparts. This was regardless of the extent of the size distribution heterogeneity of the fractions analyzed. Furthermore the acetylated chromatin fibers exhibited an enhanced solubility in both NaCl and MgCl2, which is neither the result of a differential binding affinity of the linker histones to chromatin nor of an alteration in the relative amounts of the histone H1 variants.
