- DescriptionMouse monoclonal [mAbcam 6002] to Histone H3 (methylated) - ChIP Grade
- SpecificityThis antibody is specific for histone H3 tri-methylated at K27. The sequence is found in all mammals and a wide range of species, including D. melanogaster, Arabidopsis, Chicken and Xenopus. The antibody will react with any of the above species where the modification is present. Reactivity was confirmed using Cow samples. Reactivity is not certain in S. pombe and S. cerevisiae as the equivalent protein sequence differs slightly from the species listed above. A customer reported that the activity against histone H3 in Zea mays (maize) is not good. The antibody is blocked in western blotting by tri methyl K27 peptide and slightly by di methyl K27 peptide. It is not blocked by mono methyl K4, di methyl K4, tri methyl K4, mono methyl K9, di methyl K9, tri methyl K9, mono methyl K27 or unmodified K27 peptides. (See blot below).
- Tested applicationsChIP/Chip, ChIP, IHC-P, Flow Cyt, WB, ICC, ICC/IF more details
- Species reactivityReacts with: Mouse, Cow, Human, Arabidopsis thaliana, Fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster), Plants, Zebrafish, Rhesus monkey
Predicted to work with: Rat, Rabbit, Chicken, Xenopus laevis, Chinese Hamster - Immunogen
Synthetic peptide derived from residues 1 - 100 of Human Histone H3, tri methylated at K27.
. Hybridomas were prepared and the resulting clones were positively screened by ELISA against the immunising peptide. Clones were negatively screened against both the corresponding unmodified peptide and also against a peptide corresponding to tri methylated K9 of Histone H3.
- General notesNOT SUITABLE for blocking with milk. Block in 5% BSA for 1 hour. Our labs have investigated the blocking conditions for this antibody and found that milk significantly decreases the signal and is therefore not a suitable blocking agent for this antibody (see Western Blot image).

Target
- FunctionCore 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.
- Sequence similaritiesBelongs to the histone H3 family.
- Developmental stageExpressed during S phase, then expression strongly decreases as cell division slows down during the process of differentiation.
- Post-translational
modificationsAcetylation is generally linked to gene activation. Acetylation on Lys-10 (H3K9ac) impairs methylation at Arg-9 (H3R8me2s). Acetylation on Lys-19 (H3K18ac) and Lys-24 (H3K24ac) favors methylation at Arg-18 (H3R17me).
Citrullination at Arg-9 (H3R8ci) and/or Arg-18 (H3R17ci) by PADI4 impairs methylation and represses transcription.
Asymmetric dimethylation at Arg-18 (H3R17me2a) by CARM1 is linked to gene activation. Symmetric dimethylation at Arg-9 (H3R8me2s) by PRMT5 is linked to gene repression. Asymmetric dimethylation at Arg-3 (H3R2me2a) by PRMT6 is linked to gene repression and is mutually exclusive with H3 Lys-5 methylation (H3K4me2 and H3K4me3). H3R2me2a is present at the 3' of genes regardless of their transcription state and is enriched on inactive promoters, while it is absent on active promoters.
Methylation at Lys-5 (H3K4me), Lys-37 (H3K36me) and Lys-80 (H3K79me) are linked to gene activation. Methylation at Lys-5 (H3K4me) facilitates subsequent acetylation of H3 and H4. Methylation at Lys-80 (H3K79me) is associated with DNA double-strand break (DSB) responses and is a specific target for TP53BP1. Methylation at Lys-10 (H3K9me) and Lys-28 (H3K27me) are linked to gene repression. Methylation at Lys-10 (H3K9me) is a specific target for HP1 proteins (CBX1, CBX3 and CBX5) and prevents subsequent phosphorylation at Ser-11 (H3S10ph) and acetylation of H3 and H4. Methylation at Lys-5 (H3K4me) and Lys-80 (H3K79me) require preliminary monoubiquitination of H2B at 'Lys-120'. Methylation at Lys-10 (H3K9me) and Lys-28 (H3K27me) are enriched in inactive X chromosome chromatin.
Phosphorylated at Thr-4 (H3T3ph) by GSG2/haspin during prophase and dephosphorylated during anaphase. Phosphorylation at Ser-11 (H3S10ph) by AURKB is crucial for chromosome condensation and cell-cycle progression during mitosis and meiosis. In addition phosphorylation at Ser-11 (H3S10ph) by RPS6KA4 and RPS6KA5 is important during interphase because it enables the transcription of genes following external stimulation, like mitogens, stress, growth factors or UV irradiation and result in the activation of genes, such as c-fos and c-jun. Phosphorylation at Ser-11 (H3S10ph), which is linked to gene activation, prevents methylation at Lys-10 (H3K9me) but facilitates acetylation of H3 and H4. Phosphorylation at Ser-11 (H3S10ph) by AURKB mediates the dissociation of HP1 proteins (CBX1, CBX3 and CBX5) from heterochromatin. Phosphorylation at Ser-11 (H3S10ph) is also an essential regulatory mechanism for neoplastic cell transformation. Phosphorylated at Ser-29 (H3S28ph) by MLTK isoform 1, RPS6KA5 or AURKB during mitosis or upon ultraviolet B irradiation. Phosphorylation at Thr-7 (H3T6ph) by PRKCBB is a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation that prevents demethylation of Lys-5 (H3K4me) by LSD1/KDM1A. At centromeres, specifically phosphorylated at Thr-12 (H3T11ph) from prophase to early anaphase, by DAPK3 and PKN1. Phosphorylation at Thr-12 (H3T11ph) by PKN1 is a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation that promotes demethylation of Lys-10 (H3K9me) by KDM4C/JMJD2C. Phosphorylation at Tyr-42 (H3Y41ph) by JAK2 promotes exclusion of CBX5 (HP1 alpha) from chromatin.
Monoubiquitinated by RAG1 in lymphoid cells, monoubiquitination is required for V(D)J recombination (By similarity). Ubiquitinated by the CUL4-DDB-RBX1 complex in response to ultraviolet irradiation. This may weaken the interaction between histones and DNA and facilitate DNA accessibility to repair proteins. - Cellular localizationNucleus. Chromosome.

Chromatin was prepared from Hela cells according to the Abcam X-ChIP protocol. Cells were fixed with formaldehyde for 10min. The ChIP was performed with 25µg of chromatin, 5µg of ab6002 (blue), and 20µl of Protein A/G sepharose beads. No antibody was added to the beads control (yellow). The immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified by real time PCR (Taqman approach for active and inactive loci, Sybr green approach for heterochromatic loci). Primers and probes are located in the first kb of the transcribed region.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Histone H3 (tri methyl K27) antibody [mAbcam 6002] - ChIP Grade (ab6002)Luke Hughes-Davies and Rhiannon Jade, Gurdon Institute, Cambridge, UKImmunofluorescent imaging of human cells (U2OS) with ab6002 reveals broadly dispersed interphase nuclear staining corresponding to trimethylation of K27, with multiple foci of brighter staining, exactly agreeing with published studies of K27-trimethyl IF [See figure 3 of Peters et al Mol Cell 12(6):1577-1589 (2003)] . The lack of nucleolar or cytoplasmic staining background confirms the high specificity of the antibody in this application.
IF was performed with a standard paraformaldehyde technique (fixed in PBS buffered PFH 4% for 5 minutes, permeabilised with 0.5% triton-PBS for 5 minutes, blocked with 5% milk / 0.2% tween for one hour. Primary antibody used at 1/200 in 5% milk / 0.2% TWEEN for one hour, secondary antibody Alexa 488 for 30 minutes. All blocking and incubation steps carried out at 37 degrees C.
