ab17677 staining Histone H1.2 in HeLa cells. The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min) at room temperature, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tritonn for 1h. The cells were then incubated with the antibody ab16766 at 0.1μg/ml and ab7291 (Mouse monoclonal to alpha Tubulin - Loading Control) used at a 1/1000 dilution overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibodies were ab150081, Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed, (pseudo-colored green) and ab150120, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Mouse IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) preadsorbed, (colored red), both used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (colored blue) at a concentration of 1.43 μM for 1hour at room temperature.

Immunoprecipitation - Anti-Histone H1.2 antibody (AB17677)

Histone H1.2 was immunoprecipitated using 0.5mg Hela whole cell extract, 5μg of Rabbit polyclonal to Histone H1.2 and 50μl of protein G magnetic beads (+). No antibody was added to the control (-).

The antibody was incubated under agitation with Protein G beads for 10min, Hela whole cell extract lysate diluted in RIPA buffer was added to each sample and incubated for a further 10min under agitation.

Proteins were eluted by addition of 40μl SDS loading buffer and incubated for 10min at 70°C; 10μl of each sample was separated on a SDS PAGE gel, transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane, blocked with 5% BSA and probed with ab17677.

Western blot - Anti-Histone H1.2 antibody (AB17677)

False colour image of Western blot : Anti-Histone H1.2 antibody staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A] (ab7291) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab17677 was shown to bind specifically to Histone H1.2. A band was observed at 32 kDa in wild-type HeLa cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in HIST1H1C knockout cell line ab261794 (knockout cell lysate ab257218). To generate this image, wild-type and HIST1H1C knockout HeLa cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.

Target data

Histone H1 protein binds to linker DNA between nucleosomes forming the macromolecular structure known as the chromatin fiber (PubMed : 26581166, PubMed : 38530350). Histone H1-2 is required for the condensation of nucleosome chains into higher-order structured fibers (PubMed : 38530350). Compared to other histone H1 variants, H1-2 plays an essnetial role in nucleosome condensation : its absence leads to global chromatin decompaction, which is not observed when depleting other histone H1 variants (PubMed : 38530350). Histone H1-2 also acts as a histone reader : specifically recognizes and binds histone H3 trimethylated at 'lys-27' (H3K27me3) (PubMed : 26581166). Histones H1 also promote formation of the H3K27me3 mark by the PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex, possibly by facilitating restoration of H3K27me3 post-replication (PubMed : 37429872, PubMed : 40516528). Together with histone H1-3, histone H1-2 acts as a regulator of splicing, most specifically exon skipping and intron retention events : histone H1-2 has a high affinity for exons and regulates splicing by affecting RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) elongation (PubMed : 37922872). Also acts as a regulator of individual gene transcription through chromatin remodeling, nucleosome spacing and DNA methylation (PubMed : 38530350).
