The H1 C-terminal domain (CTD) undergoes distinct static and dynamic structural changes upon binding to nucleosomes, which can be decondensed through acetylation. The interactions between H1 CTD and linker DNA primarily occur between the first 30 residues of CTD and the first -25 bp of linker DNA.
The highly positively charged and intrinsically disordered H1 C-terminal domain (CTD) undergoes extensive condensation upon binding to nucleosomes, and stabilizes nucleosomes and higher-order chromatin structures but its interactions in chromatin are not well defined. Using single-molecule FRET we found that about half of the H1 CTDs in H1-nucleosome complexes exhibit well-defined FRET values indicative of distinct, static conformations, while the remainder of the population exhibits exchange between multiple defined FRET structures. Moreover, crosslinking studies indicate that the first 30 residues of the H1 CTD participate in relatively localized contacts with the first -25 bp of linker DNA, and that two separate regions in the CTD contribute to H1-dependent organization of linker DNA. Finally, we show that acetylation mimetics within the histone H3 tail markedly reduce the overall extent of H1 CTD condensation and significantly increase the fraction of H1 CTDs undergoing dynamic exchange between FRET states. Our results indicate the nucleosome-bound H1 CTD adopts loosely defined structures that exhibit significantly enhanced dynamics and decondensation upon epigenetic acetylation within the H3 tail. & COPY; 2023 Elsevier Ltd.
