Histone DNA of Psammechinus miliaris was obtained in an enriched form by buoyant density gradient centrifugation and was cleaved into 6 kb repeat units (Birnstiel et al., 1975a) by the action of the specific endonucleases EcoRI and HindIII. Since it was suspected that the 6 kb unit harbored all five histone-coding sequences, the histone DNA unit was subdivided into five segments with the aim of providing five fragments carrying just one coding sequence each. This was achieved by the combined use of EcoRI Hindll, Hindlll, and Hpa I. A physical map was constructed from the overlaps arising in these restriction experiments. Each of the five segments was shown to hybridize uniquely with just one of the five highly purified histone mRNAs (Gross et al., 1976a). By this procedure, the order of the mRNA sequences on the histone DNA was found to be a, c, d, b, e (Gross et al., 1976a), and hence of the protein coding sequences H4, H2B, H3, H2A, and H1. Further evidence is presented that the 6 kb repeat unit, amplified by means of a Murray lambda vector phage, contains AT-rich DNA sequences which would be expected not to code for histone proteins.
