Target data

Function

Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling.

    Reamon-Buettner and Borlak PLoS One. 2012;7(6):e38531. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0038531. Epub 2012 Jun 6. Fig 4. Reproduced under the Creative Commons license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

    ChIP - Anti-Histone H2A antibody - ChIP Grade (ab18255)

    Myc affects the incorporation levels of histone variant H2A.Z.

    qChIP was performed using specific antibodies recognizing A. H2A.Z, B. H2A.Zac, Panel D. H2A, E. H2AK5ac and G. H1. All the qChIP values are expressed as % of input and normalized for total histone H3, with the exception of C and F, where H2A.Z acetylation is noramlized for H2A.Z density, and H2AK5 acetylation is normalized for H2A density, respectively. The box plots show the fold change distribution of each acetylated residue for the two subpopulations.

    Western blot - Anti-Histone H2A antibody - ChIP Grade (ab18255)

    DENV expression disrupts histone oligomerization.

    Panel A and B shown:

    Huh7 cells were transfected with DEN2 C and/or infected with DEN2 24 h post-transfection. Cells were lysed 24 h post-infection (48 h post-transfection) and lysates were run on 4–12% SDS-PAGE gel. Gels were used in a Western blotting assay with antibodies against histones H2A ab18255 (A), H2B (B), H3 (C) and H4 (D); monomers, dimers and octamers are indicated. Gels were stripped and reprobed with an antibody against actin as a protein loading control. The same amount of protein was loaded in each lane for each gel as a control for expression.

    ChIP - Anti-Histone H2A antibody - ChIP Grade (ab18255)

    Chromatin was prepared from U-2 OS (Human bone osteosarcoma epithelial cell line) cells according to the Abcam X-ChIP protocol.

    Cells were fixed with formaldehyde for 10 min. The ChIP was performed with 25 μg of chromatin, 6 μL of ab18255 (blue), and 20 μL 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.

    Histone H2A - ChIP Grade was immunoprecipitated using 0.5 mg HeLa (Human epithelial cell line from cervix adenocarcinoma) whole cell extract, 5 μg of Rabbit polyclonal to and 50 μL of protein G magnetic beads (+). No antibody was added to the control (-).

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

    Proteins were eluted by addition of 40 μL SDS loading buffer and incubated for 10 min at 70°C; 10 μL of each sample was separated on a SDS PAGE gel, transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane, blocked with 5% BSA and probed with ab18255.

    Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-Histone H2A antibody - ChIP Grade (ab18255)

    ICC/IF image of ab18255 stained HeLa (Human epithelial cell line from cervix adenocarcinoma) cells.

    The cells were fixed in 100% methanol (5 min) then permeabilized using 0.1% PBS-Triton and then incubated in 1% BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to further permeabilize the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody ab18255 at 1 μg/ml overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (pseudo-colored green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti- rabbit (Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed ab150081) IgG (H+L) preadsorbed, used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (pseudo-colored red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h at room temperature. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (pseudo-colored blue) at a concentration of 1.43 μM for 1 hour at room temperature.
