Lab

Immunoprecipitation - Anti-Histone H2A antibody [EPR895] - BSA and Azide free (AB217838)

Histone H2A.X was immunoprecipitated using 5ug of ab124781 from 200ul of HeLa whole cell extract lysate diluted to 0.5mg/ml in RIPA and 50ul of Protein G magnetic beads. No antibody was added to the control (-).

The antibody was incubated under agitation with the 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 ab124781 at 1ug/ml. The Secondary antibody was Mouse monoclonal SB62a Anti-Rabbit IgG light chain (HRP) (ab99697) at 1/10,000 dilution.

Target data

Variant histone H2A which replaces conventional H2A in a subset of nucleosomes. 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. Required for checkpoint-mediated arrest of cell cycle progression in response to low doses of ionizing radiation and for efficient repair of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) specifically when modified by C-terminal phosphorylation.
