Application notes 
(see key)

Recommended dilutions
ChIP: Use 2-4µg for 25µg of chromatin.
ELISA: 1/5000.
ICC/IF: 1/100 - 1/250. Subconfluent MMRU cells seeded in a 6-well plate with or without HDAC inhibitor treatment were fixed and permeabilized with 1% formaldehyde and 0.5% Triton X-100 for 10 minutes and blocked with 10 mg mL-1 BSA for 1 hour at room temperature. Cells were stained with FITC-conjugated anti-acetylated lysine antibody at 1:100 dilution with PBSt 1 % BSA for 1 hour at room temperature.
IP: Use at an assay dependent dilution.
WB: 1/1000 - 1/2500.


Not yet tested in other applications.
Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Positive control 
(see definition)

Subconfluent MMRU cells with or without HDAC inhibitor treatment

Relevance 

In the nucleus, DNA is tightly packed into nucleosomes generating an environment which is highly repressive towards DNA processes such as transcription. Acetylation of lysine residues within proteins has emerged as an important mechanism used by cells to overcome this repression. The acetylation of non-histone proteins such as transcription factors, as well as histones appears to be involved in this process. Acetylation may result in structural transitions as well as specific signaling within discrete chromatin domains. The role of acetylation in intracellular signaling has been inferred from the binding of acetylated peptides by the conserved bromodomain. Furthermore, recent findings suggest that bromodomain/acetylated-lysine recognition can serve as a regulatory mechanism in protein-protein interactions in numerous cellular processes such as chromatin remodeling and transcriptional activation.

The reversible lysine acetylation of histones and non-histone proteins plays a vital role in the regulation of many cellular processes including chromatin dynamics and transcription, gene silencing, cell cycle progression, apoptosis, differentiation, DNA replication, DNA repair, nuclear import, and neuronal repression. More than 20 acetyltransferases and 18 deacetylases have been identified so far, but the mechanistic details of substrate selection and site specificity of these enzymes remain unclear. Over 40 transcription factors and 30 other nuclear, cytoplasmic, bacterial, and viral proteins have been shown to be acetylated in vivo.

Use to detect acetylation of lysine.

ChIP - acetyl Lysine antibody (ab21623)

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, 2µg of  ab21623 (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). Primers and probes are located in the first kb of the transcribed region.
