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.

ab8895 is specific for mono-methylated Lysine 4 of histone H3 and does not recognize di- or tri-methyl Lysine 4 nor methylation at Lysine 9. This is shown in lane 2 where the activity of the antibody is specifically blocked by the addition of the immunizing peptide (ab1340).

Chromatin was prepared from U2OS 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  ab8895 (blue), and 20µl of Protein A/G sepharose beads. No antibody was added to the beads control (yellow). The immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified on the GAPDH and ALDOA (active) and MYO-D (inactive) promoters and over the y-Actin gene (active). Schematic diagram of the y-Actin gene is shown on the top of the figure. Black boxes represent exons and thin lines represent introns. PCR products are depicted as bars under the gene.

The perinuclear and perinucleolar heterochromatin domains do not contain Mono Methyl K4.  The Mono Methyl K4, rather, is distributed as small nuclear foci primarily found between DAPI-intense regions of the nucleus.
