Description 

Mouse monoclonal [mAbcam 6002] to Histone H3 (tri methyl K27) - ChIP Grade

Immunogen 

Synthetic peptide derived from residues 1 - 100 of Human Histone H3, tri methylated at K27.
(Note: the amino acid sequence is proprietar y).

Hybridoma 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.

Reacts with 

Hu, Ms, Cow, Dm, Plnts, Zfsh

Predicted to react 
(species key)

Rat, Chk, ChHm, Rb, Xl
(Due to sequence homology)

Specificity 

This 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.

Relevance 

Histones are basic nuclear proteins that, together with DNA, make up the nucleosome structure in eukaryotes. Nucleosomes consist of approximately 146 bp of DNA wrapped around a histone octamer, which is composed of pairs of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4). The chromatin structure is further compacted through the interaction of a linker histone H1.

Methylation of specific residues in the histone tails is a central modification for regulating epigenetic transitions in chromatin. Modified lysine residues can exist in a mono-, di-, or tri-methylated state, whilst arginine residues can be mono- or di-methylated.

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.

Immunofluorescent 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.

The red line indicates binding to the tri methyl K27 peptide (ab1782). Binding to the following peptides was not seen:
Unmodified K27 (ab2623),
mono methyl K27 (ab1780),
di methyl K27 (ab1781),

ICC/IF image of ab6002 stained HeLa cells. The cells were 4% PFA fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab6002, 5µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM. This antibody also gave a positive result in 4% PFA fixed (10 min) Hek293, HepG2 and MCF7 cells at 5µg/ml, and in 100% methanol fixed (5 min) HeLa, Hek293, HepG2 and MCF7 cells at 5µg/ml.
