Measurements of actinomycin-3H binding in synchronized HeLa cells reveal that the binding capacity of chromatin decreases progressively during the S phase despite a doubling of nuclear DNA content, reaches a minimal level during G2 and mitosis, and then increases gradually throughout the subsequent G1 interval. Since this pattern was evident in experiments with living cells, ethanol-fixed cells, and isolated nuclei, but not with purified DNA, the actinomycin binding profile may reflect changes in the degree of association between DNA and chromosomal proteins at different stages of the cell cycle.

By selective dissociation of histones with the ionic detergent sodium deoxycholate, we have demonstrated that these basic chromosomal polypeptides, which are effective inhibitors of transcription, are more tenaciously bound to DNA in mitotic than in S-phase chromatin. Evidence is presented which suggests that cell-cycle-stage-specific non-histone chromosomal proteins can account for such variations in the association of histones with DNA. When chromatin is reconstituted with DNA and histones are pooled from S-phase and mitotic cells and either S-phase or mitotic non-histone chromosomal proteins, a preferential extraction of histones with sodium deoxycholate from chromatin reconstituted with S-phase rather than mitotic non-histone chromosomal proteins is observed. In contrast, the extractability of histones with sodium deoxycholate from nucleohistone complexes reconstituted with DNA pooled from S-phase and mitotic cells and either S-phase or mitotic histones is identical. Since non-histone chromosomal proteins rather than histones are responsible for the differences in chromatin template activity during S-phase and mitosis, we propose that non-histone chromosomal proteins may modify gene expression during the cell cycle by mediating the binding of histones to DNA.

Incorporation of radioactive alanine into chromatin-bound subfractions of H1 histone was studied in HeLa cells synchronized by the double thymidine block technique. The subfractions were resolved into three chromatographic peaks by Biorex-70. In the period 5-7 h after release from the thymidine block, peaks I and III showed twice as much incorporation as they did in the period 1-3 h after release, whereas peak II showed three times the incorporation at 5-7 h that it did at 1-3 h. Thus, the H1-histone subfraction in peak II appears in chromatin somewhat later in S phase than do the subfractions in Peaks I and III.
