The binding of HMG 17 to stripped core mononucleosomes containing DNA from the avian .beta.-globin gene cluster was examined to determine whether binding in vitro in this developmentally-regulated gene domain was associated with transcriptional activity or DNAse I-sensitivity in intact nuclei. Mononucleosomes were prepared from primitive and definitive stage embryonic red bloods cells of chick embryos, adult reticulocytes, adult reticulocytes in which embryonic .rho.-globin transcription was induced, and adult thymus cells. Preferential binding by HMG 17 to mononucleosomes containing the .beta.-globin gene cluster was confined to erythroid-derived mononucleosomes that contain the embryonic .rho.-globin gene, the adult .beta.-globin gene, and DNA sequences located between these two genes, but not to those that contain the embryonic .epsilon.-globin gene. Comparison of these results to the known patterns of transcription and DNase I-sensitivity within the .beta.-globin gene cluster shows that HMG 17 binding, although tissue-specific, does not correlate directly with either DNase I-sensitivity or active gene transcription, but is dependent on other factors present in core mononucleosomes from this active gene domain.
