Applications

Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab18191 in the following tested applications.

The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Application Abreviews Notes
ChIP Use 2.5µg for 107 cells.
WB Use a concentration of 1 µg/ml. Detects a band of approximately 109 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 109 kDa).

Target

  • Relevance
    Chp1 a chromodomain protein associates with the S. pombe mating type locus and telomeres. Chp1 localization to heterochromatin depends on its chromodomain and the C-terminal domain of the protein. Chp1 and centromeric siRNAs are components of the RITS (RNA-induced initiation of transcriptional gene silencing) complex. The association of RITS with centromeres is linked to Dicer activity, which is required to cleave centromeric transcripts to produce short interfering RNAs that actively recruit components of heterochromatin to centromeres.

      X-ChIP performed with ab18191 on Schizosaccharomyces pombe Cell lysate (whole cell). 5µl antibody were used per 500µl of chromatin/cell lysate according to standard S. pombe ChIP protocols. Protein-A Sepharose was used to recover the ChIPs. In the positive control the researcher specifically induced silencing of the ura4+ gene. For the negative control  the researcher performed multiplex PCR with primers amplifying ura4+ and an un-silenced gene. In addition, act1+ was amplified in a separate PCR reaction.  Chp1 only binds to ura4+ (and only if silencing is induced).

      Observed band size: 115 kDa (why is the actual band size different from the predicted?)
      Additional bands at: 75&42 kDa. We are unsure as to the identity of these extra bands.

    ChIP abreview for Anti-Chp1 antibody - ChIP Grade

     Excellent
    Abreviews
    Abcam guarantees this product to work in the species/application used in this Abreview.
    Application
    ChIP
    Sample
    Schizosaccharomyces pombe Cell lysate - whole cell
    Type
    Cross-linking (X-ChIP)
    Duration of cross-linking step: 0 second(s)
    Specification of the cross-linking agent: 3% Formaldehyde
    Detection step
    Semiquantitative PCR
    Positive control
    I specifically induce silencing of the ura4+ gene. I see enrichment for this gene in ChIPs performed with antibodies against H3K9me2, Ago1, Swi6 and, as I show here, Chp1. All these proteins are recruited to transcriptional silent loci as for example centromeric DNA repeats. The Chp1 antibody precipitates chromatin very well (see figure )-it gives me the strongest signal among all the antibodies I used so far.
    Negative control
    I perform multiplex PCR with primers amplifying ura4+ and an un-silenced gene. In addition, act1+ was amplified in a separate PCR reaction. As you can see, Chp1 only binds to ura4+ (and only if silencing is induced).
