George M. Lawson* and R. David Cole* abstract: In order to study the role of histone HI in chromatin structure under conditions minimizing chromatin denaturation, a technique was developed to displace this histone from whole nuclei. Isolated HeLa nuclei washed at pH 3.0 selectively released histone HI without detectable displacement of the core histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. Nucleosomal structure remained intact in such washed nuclei as judged by the characteristic electrophoretic banding patterns of dou-ble-stranded DNA fragments generatedby in situ digestion with micrococcal nuclease and pancreatic DNase I, respec-tively. The patterns were identical with those produced from nuclei maintained at physiological pH. The kinetics of nu-cleolytic cleavage of the linkage DNA between nucleosome cores in control nuclei containing histone HI or in nuclei completely or partially depleted of histone HI were all ap-parently first order and in each case could be described with a single rate constant. The overall rate of cleavage was in-creased by a factor of 2.7±0.2 following quantitative displacement of histone HI. A quantitative inverse relationship
