| Description | ChIPAb+ Acetyl-Histone H3 (Lys4) - ChIP Validated Antibody and Primer Set |
| Overview | All ChIPAb+ antibodies are individually validated for chromatin precipitation, every lot, every time. Each ChIPAb+ antibody set includes control primers (tested every lot by qPCR) to biologically validate your IP results in a locus-specific context. The qPCR protocol and primer sequences are provided, allowing researchers to validate ChIP protocols when using our antibody in their chromatin context. Each set also includes a negative control antibody to ensure specificity of the ChIP reaction. The ChIPAb+ Acetyl-Histone H3 (Lys4) set includes the Acetyl-Histone H3 (Lys4) antibody, a negative control antibody (normal rabbit IgG), and qPCR primers which amplify a 166 bp region of human GAPDH. The Acetyl-Histone H3 (Lys4) and negative controls are supplied in a scalable "per ChIP" reaction size and can be used to functionally validate the precipitation of Acetyl-Histone H3 (Lys4)-associated chromatin. |

| Background Information | Histone H3 is one of the five main histone proteins involved in the structure of chromatin in eukaryotic cells. Featuring a main globular domain and a long N-terminal tail, H3 is involved with the structure of the nucleosomes of the beads on a string structure. Histone proteins are highly post-translationally modified, and Histone H3 is the most extensively modified of the five histones. The term "Histone H3" alone is purposely ambiguous in that it does not distinguish between sequence variants or modification state. Histone H3 is an important protein in the emerging field of epigenetics, where its sequence variants and variable modification states are thought to play a role in the dynamic and long term regulation of genes. |

| Application Notes | Chromatin Immunoprecipitation: Sonicated chromatin prepared from HeLa cells (1 X 106 cell equivalents per IP) were subjected to chromatin immunoprecipitation using 4 µL of Normal rabbit IgG or 4 µL Anti-Acetyl-Histone H3 (Lys4) and the Magna ChIP™ A Kit (Cat. # 17-610). Successful immunoprecipitation of Acetyl-Histone H3 (Lys4) associated DNA fragments was verified by qPCR using Control Primers as a positive locus on the GAPDH promoter, and β-Globin primers as a negative locus. (Please see figures). Data is presented as percent input of each IP sample relative to input chromatin for each amplicon and ChIP sample as indicated. Please refer to the EZ-Magna ChIP™ A (Cat. # 17-408) or EZ-ChIP™ (Cat. # 17-371) protocol for experimental details. Western Blot Analysis: Representative lot data. Recombinant histone H3 (Catalog # 14-411, lane 1) and acid extracts from sodium butyrate treated (lane 2) and untreated (lane 3) HeLa cells (Catalog # 17-305) were resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose and probed with anti-acetyl-Histone H3 (Lys4) (1:1,000 dilution). Proteins were visualized using a goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody conjugated to HRP and a chemiluminescence detection system. (Please see pictures). Histone-Peptide Specificity Assay: Representative lot data. A 1:1,000 – 1:5,000 dilution of anti-acetyl Histone H3 (Lys4) was incubated with a cocktail of microspheres conjugated to histone H3 peptides with the following modifications: 1. Unmodified, containing Lys 4, 9, 14 and 18 2. Acetyl-lysine 4 3. Acetyl-lysine 9 4. Acetyl-lysine 14 5. Acetyl-lysine 18 6. Acetyl-lysine 23 7. Acetyl-lysine 27 Unbound antibody was then removed by filtration. Peptide-antibody complexes were incubated with a biotin-conjugated anti-rabbit secondary antibody followed by incubation with a phycoerythrin-streptavidin conjugate. Fluorescence was read on a Luminex® 100™ instrument. Median Fluorescence Intensity (MFI) is plotted (Please see figures). |

| Entrez Gene Summary | Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. Nucleosomes consist of approximately 146 bp of DNA wrapped around a histone octamer composed of pairs of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4). The chromatin fiber is further compacted through the interaction of a linker histone, H1, with the DNA between the nucleosomes to form higher order chromatin structures. This gene is intronless and encodes a member of the histone H3 family. Transcripts from this gene lack polyA tails; instead, they contain a palindromic termination element. This gene is located separately from the other H3 genes that are in the histone gene cluster on chromosome 6p22-p21.3. |

| UniProt Summary | FUNCTION: Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling. SUBUNIT STRUCTURE: The nucleosome is a histone octamer containing two molecules each of H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 assembled in one H3-H4 heterotetramer and two H2A-H2B heterodimers. The octamer wraps approximately 147 bp of DNA. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in testicular cells. Developmental stage Expressed during S phase, then expression strongly decreases as cell division slows down during the process of differentiation. PTM: Acetylation is generally linked to gene activation. Acetylation on Lys-10 impairs methylation at Arg-9. Acetylation on Lys-19 and Lys-24 favors methylation at Arg-18 By similarity. Citrullination at Arg-9 and/or Arg-18 by PADI4 impairs methylation and represses transcription By similarity. Asymmetric dimethylation at Arg-18 by CARM1 is linked to gene activation. Symmetric dimethylation at Arg-9 by PRMT5 is linked to gene repression By similarity. Methylation at Lys-5, Lys-37 and Lys-80 are linked to gene activation. Methylation at Lys-5 facilitates subsequent acetylation of H3 and H4. Methylation at Lys-80 is associated with DNA double-strand break (DSB) responses and is a specific target for TP53BP1. Methylation at Lys-10 and Lys-28 are linked to gene repression. Methylation at Lys-10 is a specific target for HP1 proteins (CBX1, CBX3 and CBX5) and prevents subsequent phosphorylation at Ser-11 and acetylation of H3 and H4. Methylation at Lys-5 and Lys-80 require preliminary monoubiquitination of H2B at Lys-120. Methylation at Lys-10 and Lys-28 are enriched in inactive X chromosome chromatin By similarity. Phosphorylated at Thr-4 by GSG2/haspin during prophase and dephosphorylated during anaphase. At centromeres, specifically phosphorylated at Thr-12 from prophase to early anaphase. Phosphorylated at Ser-11 during the whole mitosis. Phosphorylation at Ser-11, which is linked to gene activation, prevents methylation at Lys-10 but facilitates acetylation of H3 and H4. Phosphorylated at Ser-29 by MLTK isoform 1, RPS6KA5 or AURKB during mitosis or upon ultraviolet B irradiation By similarity. Phosphorylation at Ser-11 is crucial for chromosome condensation and cell-cycle progression during mitosis and meiosis. In addition phosphorylation at Ser-11 is important during interphase because it enables the transcription of genes following external stimulation, like stress or growth factors. Phosphorylation at Ser-11 is also an essential regulatory mechanism for neoplastic cell transformation. Phosphorylation at Ser-11 by AURKB/Aurora-B mediates the dissociation of HP1 proteins (CBX1, CBX3 and CBX5) from heterochromatin. Ubiquitinated By similarity. SIMILARITY:Belongs to the histone H3 family. |
