Histone protein synthesis is apparently restricted to the S phase of the cell cycle and therefore parallels DNA replication.sbd.both transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels of control were invoked. Using blot hybridization with several cloned genomic human histone sequences representing different histone gene clusters as probes, the steady-state level of histone RNA was assessed in the nucleus and cytoplasm of G1 and S phase HeLa S3 cells. The representation of histone mRNA sequences of G1 compared with S phase cells was < 1% in the cytoplasm and .apprxeq. 1% in the nucleus. These data are consistent with transcriptional control, but do not completely dismiss the possibility that regulation of histone gene expression is, to some extent, mediated posttranscriptionally. If histone gene transcription does occur in G1, the RNA must either be rapidly degraded or be transcribed to a limited extent compared with S phase. An unexpected result was obtained when a blot of cytoplasmic RNA from G1 and S phase cells was hybridized with .lambda.HHG 41 DNA (containing H3 and H4 human genomic histone sequences). Although hybridization with histone mRNA was observed for RNA from S phase but not from G1 cells, hybridization with a nonhistone RNA of .apprxeq. 330 nucleotides present predominantly in G1 was also observed.
