| Specificity/Sensitivity | Mono-/Di-Methyl-Histone H3 (Lys56) (D4L7L) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of histone H3 protein only when mono- or di-methylated at Lys56. This antibody does not cross-react with other methylated histone proteins. |
| Species Reactivity | Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey |
| Source/Purification | Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding mono-methyl-Lys56 of human histone H3 protein. |
| Background | The nucleosome, made up of four core histone proteins (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4), is the primary building block of chromatin. Originally thought to function as a static scaffold for DNA packaging, histones have now been shown to be dynamic proteins, undergoing multiple types of post-translational modifications, including acetylation, phosphorylation, methylation, and ubiquitination (1). Histone methylation is a major determinant for the formation of active and inactive regions of the genome and is crucial for the proper programming of the genome during development (2,3). Arginine methylation of histones H3 (Arg2, 17, 26) and H4 (Arg3) promotes transcriptional activation and is mediated by a family of protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs), including the co-activators PRMT1 and CARM1 (PRMT4) (4). In contrast, a more diverse set of histone lysine methyltransferases has been identified, all but one of which contain a conserved catalytic SET domain originally identified in the Drosophila Su(var)3-9, Enhancer of zeste, and Trithorax proteins. Lysine methylation occurs primarily on histones H3 (Lys4, 9, 27, 36, 79) and H4 (Lys20) and has been implicated in both transcriptional activation and silencing (4). Methylation of these lysine residues coordinates the recruitment of chromatin modifying enzymes containing methyl-lysine binding modules such as chromodomains (HP1, PRC1), PHD fingers (BPTF, ING2), tudor domains (53BP1), and WD-40 domains (WDR5) (5-8). The discovery of histone demethylases, such as PADI4, LSD1, JMJD1, JMJD2, and JHDM1, has shown that methylation is a reversible epigenetic marker (9).Histone H3 lysine 56 (H3K56) lies within the globular core domain of the nucleosome, near the entry-exit sites of the nucleosomal DNA superhelix. Histone H3 lysine 56 is methylated by the G9a histone methyltransferase, and is distributed throughout the nucleus, being largely excluded from transcriptionally silent, heterochromatic, DAPI-dense regions of the genome. Monomethylation of histone H3 lysine 56 may create a docking site for the DNA replication processivity factor PCNA (10). |
