The histone phosphorylations of temperature-sensitive mutant cells (tsBN2) were investigated during the induction of premature chromosome condensation (PCC). At the permissive temperature (33.5 degrees C), the histones of the cells were phosphorylated typically as in any other mammalian cell. However, at the nonpermissive temperature (40.5 degrees C), both histone H1 and H3 were phosphorylated extensively as in mitotic cells, and the increase in these phosphorylations throughout S to G2 phase was closely correlated to the frequency of cells showing PCC. The pattern of H1 subtype phosphorylations was quite similar, and the sites of H1 phosphorylation from PCC were the same as those from mitotic cells. Although the degree of phosphorylation was low, H1 and H3 phosphorylations were observed even in G1 phase at the nonpermissive temperature. The effects of metabolic inhibitors on the induction of PCC were parallel in H1 and H3 phosphorylations; actinomycin D failed to inhibit either PCC induction or these phosphorylations, whereas cyclohexamide did, completely inhibiting H3 phosphorylation.
