The contact-site cross-linkers tetranitromethane, UV light, formaldehyde, and a monofunctional imido ester have been used to generate a collection of histone-histone dimers and trimers from nuclei and chromatin. Four different H2B-H4 dimers have been isolated. Preliminary CNBr peptide mapping has shown that all are cross-linked at different positions that are apparently clustered within the C-terminal regions of these histones. Similarily, two different H2A-H2B dimers and two different H2A-H2B-H4 trimers have been partially characterized. The data suggest a functional map for H2B in which the N-terminal third interacts with DNA, the middle third interacts with H2A, and the C-terminal third interacts with H4. We hope, by pursuing this type of analysis, to develop a detailed understanding of each histone-histone binding interaction through saturation cross-linking of the binding sites.
