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.

  • Immunoprecipitation - Anti-Histone H4 (unmodified K20) antibody [EPR22116] - ChIP Grade (ab227804), expandable thumbnail

    Immunoprecipitation - Anti-Histone H4 (unmodified K20) antibody [EPR22116] - ChIP Grade (ab227804)

    Histone H4 (unmodified K20) was immunoprecipitated from 0.35 mg of SET8 depleted U-2 OS (human bone osteosarcoma epithelial cell line) whole cell lysate with ab227804 at 1/30 dilution. Western blot was performed from the immunoprecipitate using ab227804 at 1/1000 dilution. VeriBlot for IP Detection Reagent (HRP) (VeriBlot for IP Detection Reagent (HRP) ab131366), was used for detection at 1/5000 dilution.

    Lane 1: SET8 depleted U-2 OS whole cell lysate 10 μg (Input).

    Lane 2: ab227804 IP in SET8 depleted U-2 OS whole cell lysate.

    Lane 3: Rabbit monoclonal IgG (Rabbit IgG, monoclonal [EPR25A] - Isotype Control ab172730) instead of ab227804 in SET8 depleted U-2 OS whole cell lysate.

    Blocking and dilution buffer and concentration: 5% NFDM/TBST.
    Exposure time: 30 seconds.

    Depletion of Set8, a histone methyltransferase, delays S-phase progression and impairs DNA replication (PMID: 18166648). It also prevents the monomethylation of H4K20, which is normally mediated by Set8 (PMID: 18166648).

    This lysate was kindly provided by our collaborator Dr. Anja Groth, Biotech Research and Innovation Centre (BRIC). University of Copenhagen.

    Chromatin was prepared from HeLa cells according to the Abcam X-ChIP protocol. Cells were fixed with formaldehyde for 10min. The ChIP was performed with 25 μg of chromatin, 2 μg of ab227804 (red), and 20 μl of protein A/G sepharose beads slurry (10 μl of sepharose A beads + 10 μl of sepharose G beads). 2 μg of rabbit normal IgG was added to the beads control (gray). The immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified by real time PCR (SYBR approach).

    Peptide Array - Anti-Histone H4 (unmodified K20) antibody [EPR22116] - ChIP Grade (ab227804)

    ab227804 was tested in Peptide array against 501 different modified and unmodified histone peptides; each peptide is printed on the array at six concentrations (each in triplicate). Circle area represents affinity between the antibody and a peptide: all antigen-containing peptides are displayed as red circles, all other peptides as blue circles. The affinity is calculated as area under curve when antibody binding values are plotted against the corresponding peptide concentration. Each circle area is normalized to the peptide with the strongest affinity.

    The complete dataset, including full list of all peptides and information on the position of each peptide in the diagram, is available under the Support & downloads section.
