Abstract
Formyl-[35S]methionine is incorporated into histones synthesized by a mouse ascites cell-free system supplemented with histone mRNA and f-[35S]met-tRNAf from yeast. Most of the [35S]methionine incorporated can be shown to be at the N-terminus by Edman degradation after deformylation. This indicates that methionine can be used as the initiator amino acid for histones in this cell-free system.
