The solution-state structure of the recombinant archaeal histone rHFoB, from the mesophileMethanobacteriumformicicum, has been determined by two- and three-dimensional (3D) proton homonuclear correlated nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods. On the basis of 951 nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE)-derived distance restraints, rHFoB monomers form the histone fold and assemble into symmetric (rHFoB)2dimers that have a structure consistent with assembly into archaeal nucleosomes. rHFoB exhibits ∼78% sequence homology with rHMfB from the hyperthermophileMethanothermus fervidus, and the results obtained demonstrate that these two proteins have very similar 3D structures, with a root-mean-square deviation for backbone atoms of 0.65 ± 0.13 Å2. (rHFoB)2dimers however unfold at lower temperatures and require a higher salt environment for stability than (rHMfB)2dimers, and comparing the structures, we predict that these differences result from unfavorable surface-located ionic interactions and a larger, more solvent-accessible cavity adjacent to residue G36 in the hydrophobic core of (rHFoB)2.
