Application Notes

Applications Validated by Active Motif:
ICC/IF: 0.5 - 2 µg/ml dilution
WB*: 0.5 - 2 µg/ml dilution

*Note: many chromatin-bound proteins are not soluble in a low salt nuclear extract and fractionate to the pellet. Therefore, we recommend a High Salt / Sonication Protocol when preparing nuclear extracts for Western Blot.

This antibody has been published for use in ChIP, but has not been validated by Active Motif for this application. ChIP-validated antibodies are available for this target: Catalog No. 39535.

Background

Histone H3 is one of the core components of the nucleosome. The nucleosome is the smallest subunit of chromatin and consists of 147 base pairs of DNA wrapped around an octamer of core histone proteins (two each of Histone H2A, Histone H2B, Histone H3 and Histone H4). Histone H1 is a linker histone, present at the interface between the nucleosome core and DNA entry/exit points; it is responsible for establishing higher-order chromatin structure. Chromatin is subject to a variety of chemical modifications, including post-translational modifications of the histone proteins and the methylation of cytosine residues in the DNA. Reported histone modifications include acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitylation, glycosylation, ADP-ribosylation, carbonylation and SUMOylation; they play a major role in regulating gene expression.

Histone H3K27 can be mono-, di- or trimethylated by different histone methyltransferases, such as EZH2 or NSD3. While histone methylation can be associated with transcriptional activation or repression, methylation of Lysine 27 of histone H3 is mainly associated with transcriptional repression.

Positive Control

Active Motif's HeLa acid extract (Catalog No. 36200) can be used as a positive control for Histone H3 di/trimethyl Lys27 antibody.
