Temperature and osmotic stress dependence of the thermodynamics for binding linker histone H10, Its carboxyl domain (H10-C) or globular domain (H10-G) to B-DNA.


ABSTRACT: Linker histones (H1) are the basic proteins in higher eukaryotes that are responsible for the final condensation of chromatin. In contrast to the nucleosome core histone proteins, the role of H1 in compacting DNA is not clearly understood. In this study ITC was used to measure the binding constant, enthalpy change, and binding site size for the interactions of H10, or its C-terminal (H10-C) and globular (H10-G) domains to highly polymerized calf-thymus DNA at temperatures from 288 K to 308 K. Heat capacity changes, ΔCp, for these same H10 binding interactions were estimated from the temperature dependence of the enthalpy changes. The enthalpy changes for binding H10, H10-C, or H10-G to CT-DNA are all en
