1. The turnover of cerebral histones and DNA after injection of [4,5-(3)H]leucine or [methyl-3-(3)H]thymidine, respectively, was studied in the developing chick. 2. Chromatin was prepared from chick nuclei that had been purified by centrifugation through 1.9m-sucrose. 3. Nuclear proteins were fractionated into three major histone classes, F1 (lysine-rich), F2(b) (slightly lysine-rich) and [F3+F2(a)] (arginine-rich), and a non-histone protein residue. 4. The proportions of the histone classes remained constant throughout the period of development studied. 5. All histone fractions decayed at a similar rate, initially with a half-life of around 5 days, later with a half-life of 19 days. 6. Non-histone proteins from chromatin decayed in a heterogeneous manner with a wide range of half-lives. 7. Short-term labelling studies showed that all histone fractions were synthesized at the same rate. 8. Some non-histone proteins were very rapidly synthesized relative to histones. 9. DNA had a longer half-life than any histone fraction studied. A biphasic exponential decay curve with half-lives of 23 and 50 days was found. 10. It was concluded that the turnover of histones can occur independently of that of DNA and that different histone classes have similar rates of synthesis and decay.
