We have studied the HClO4-solubility of histones H1 and H5 in hen erythrocyte nuclei after treatment with the cross-linker dimethyl 3,3'-dithiobispropionimidate (DTPI). The amount of acid-soluble, non-cross-linked, H1 and H5 histones was drastically decreased, and that of acid-soluble H1/H5 histone dimers went through an optimum as the DTPI concentration was raised. Incubation of the HClO4-insoluble fraction with 2-mercaptoethanol regenerated the acid-solubility of H1/H5 histones in this fraction. When purified H1/H5 histones were treated with increasing concentrations of DTPI under non-cross-linking conditions, the amount of HClO4-soluble histones also greatly decreased, but to a much lesser extent if the DTPI treatment was followed by reduction with 2-mercaptoethanol. This decrease was inversely correlated to the proportion of amino groups modified. It is concluded that, when the cross-linker was used in large excess, the cross-linking reaction competed with a one-end reaction modifying the histones at lysine amino groups by cross-linker molecules, of which the imidoester groups that had not reacted were hydrolysed. It is suggested that this modification produced the changes in acid-solubility.
