To identify functional differences among non-allelic variants of the mammalian H1 linker histones a system for the overexpression of individual H1 variants in vivo was developed, Mouse 3T3 cells were transformed with an expression vector containing the coding regions for the H1c or H1(0) variant under the control of an inducible promoter, Stable, single colony transformants, in which the normal stoichiometry of H1 variants was perturbed, displayed normal viability, unaltered morphology and no long-term growth arrest, However, upon release from synchronization at different points in the cell cycle transformants significantly overproducing H1(0) exhibited transient inhibition of both G(1) and S phase progression, Overexpression of H1c to comparable levels had no effect on cell cycle progression, Analysis of transcript levels for several cell cycle-regulated and housekeeping genes indicated that overexpression of H1(0) resulted in significantly reduced expression of all genes tested, Surprisingly, overexpression of H1c to comparable levels resulted in either a negligible effect or, in some cases, a dramatic increase in transcript levels, These results support the suggestion that functional differences exist among H1 variants.
