The influence of histone H1 with respect to the conformation of oligonucleosomes was investigated by studying transient electric birefringence (TEB). Whole chromatin exhibits a positive birefringence explained by an helical compact structure in which the superhelical axis of DNA is parallel to the long axis of the helical array. Birefringence of H1-lacking oligonucleosomes is negative and proportional to the number of nucleosomes in the chain.So, the removal of H1 induces a transition to an extended “bead and bridge” structure in which 32 base-pairs of DNA connect two consecutive beads. The following scheme is then proposed for DNA: 195 bp (nucleosome repeat in rat liver) = 163 bp (associated with the histone core) + 32 bp (linker DNA).
