Abstract
Two overlapping rat cDNAs, covering a continuous region of 1107 base pairs, have been isolated and sequenced. The clones contain identical open reading frames, encoding a 136 amino acid long polypeptide which exhibits 100% identity to other mammalian H3.3 histone variants. We show that the inserts derive, in particular, from the H3.3B gene. We used these inserts and an insert from an H1° encoding clone, previously described (6), as probes to study the accumulation of mRNAs encoding the corresponding histone replacement variants (namely, H1° and H3.3) during rat brain development. We found that the concentration of both H1° and H3.3B mRNAs decreases from the embryonal day 18 (E18) to the postnatal day 10 (P10), with inverse correlation to protein accumulation.
