Linker histone H1 is highly phosphorylated in normal growing Tetrahymena thermophila, but becomes noticeably dephosphorylated in response to certain conditions such as prolonged starvation. Since phosphorylation of H1 has been associated with the regulation of gene expression, DNA repair and other critical processes, we sought to use mass spectrometry based approaches to obtain an in depth phosphorylation signature for this linker histone. Histone H1 from both growing and starved Tetrahymena were analyzed by nano-flow reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) following enzymatic digestions, propionic anhydride derivatization and phosphopeptide enrichment via immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC). We confirmed five phosphorylation sites identified previously, and detected two novel sites of phosphorylation and two novel minor sites of acetylation. The sequential order of phosphorylation on H1 was deduced by using mass spectrometry to define the modified sites on phosphorylated H1 isoforms separated by cation-exchange chromatography. Relative levels of site specific phosphorylation on H1 isolated from growing and starved Tetrahymena were obtained using a combination of stable isotopic labeling, IMAC and tandem mass spectrometry.
