Tryptic digestion of histone H1 from the sperm of the sea urchin Sphaerechinus granularis leaves a limiting peptide of approx. 80 residues that is of similar size to the limit peptide from calf thymus H1 or chicken erythrocyte H5. The S. granularis limit peptide folds to form tertiary structure similar to that of the intact parent histone H1 (shown by n.m.r. spectra), but the helical content is decreased by the digestion from 64 residues to 28. In contrast, intact calf thymus H1 and chicken erythrocyte H5 histones have only about 28 helical residues, which are preserved in their limit peptides. The extra helix in S. granularis is shown to be rapidly digested away by trypsin, and its location in histone H1 is discussed. A possible relationship of this structural feature to the length of linker DNA is proposed.

The separation and purification of histone H1 from the sperm of the sea-urchin Sphaerechinus granularis is described. Physical studies were used to compare this histone H1 molecule with H1 histones from other species. C.d. and 270 MHz n.m.r. spectroscopy indicate that, despite significant compositional differences from other sea-urchin sperm H1 histones, their secondary and tertiary structures are very similar. A large difference in helicity was, however, found between S. granularis histone H1 and calf thymus histone H1, and their n.m.r. and fluorescence spectra also differ considerably. It is concluded that secondary structure and tertiary structure have not been conserved in the evolution of the H1 histone family.
