  ABSTRACT  
 
A H3 dimer band is produced when purified native histone octamers are run on an SDS-PAGE gel in a beta-mercaptoethanol-free environment. To investigate this, native histone octamer crystals, derived from chicken erythrocytes, and of structure (H2A-H2B)-(H4-H3)-(H3'-H4')-(H2B'-H2A'), were grown in 2 M KCl, 1.35 M potassium phosphates and 250-350 microM of the oxidising agent S-nitrosoglutathione, pH 6.9. X-ray diffraction data were acquired to 2.10 A resolution, yielding a structure with an Rwork value of 18.6% and an Rfree of 22.5%. The space group is P6(5), the asymmetric unit of which contains one complete octamer. Compared to the 1.90 A resolution, unoxidised native histone octamer structure, the crystals show a reduction of 2.5% in the c-axis of the unit cell, and free-energy calculations reveal that the H3-H3' dimer interface in the latter has become thermodynamically stable, in contrast to the former. Although the inter-sulphur distance of the two H3 cysteines in the oxidised native histone octamer has reduced to 6 A from the 7 A of the unoxidised form, analysis of the hydrogen bonds that constitute the (H4-H3)-(H3'-H4') tetramer indicates that the formation of a disulphide bond in the H3-H3' dimer interface is incompatible with stable tetramer formation. The biochemical and biophysical evidence, taken as a whole, is indicative of crystals that have a stable H3-H3' dimer interface, possibly extending to the interface within an isolated H3-H3' dimer, observed in SDS-PAGE gels.
