Volume 27, no. 6, p. 2398-2410, 2007. The subtype of linker histone H1 primarily used in this work was Xenopus H1o (xH1o) and not Xenopus H1A (xH1A) as was erroneously stated in the report. We sincerely apologize for this error; however, it does not affect the conclusions on the mechanism of linker histone H1-stimulated glucocorticoid receptor binding made in this work since we find the same qualitative effects of xH1A as shown to occur with xH1o. Specifically, experiments demonstrated in Fig. 1 to 5, 7B, and 8 and Supplement S1 in the supplemental material were conducted with xH1o; however, the chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments in Fig. 6C and 7A and Supplements S2 and S3 in the supplemental material were indeed done with an N-terminally hemagglutinin (HA)-tagged xH1A construct. The experiment in Supplement S3 in the supplemental material demonstrates that wild-type H1o and HA-H1A compete for the same binding site in chromatin. This argues that the effects are general linker histone effects.
The estimation of the H1/nucleosome (H1/N) ratio was based on the incorporation of [14C]lysine after mRNA injection; since xH1o harbors 54 lysine residues while xH1A has 64 lysine residues, the H1/N ratios should be 19% higher than indicated (
1.19-fold higher) in Fig. 1 to 5 and 8 and Supplements S1 and S3 in the supplemental material. This is within the error of this semiquantitative estimation.
