General description

Histone H3 is one of the five main histone proteins involved in the structure of chromatin in eukaryotic cells. Featuring a main globular domain and a long N-terminal tail, H3 is involved with the structure of the nucleosomes of the ′beads on a string′ structure.
The N-terminal tail of histone H3 protrudes from the globular nucleosome core and can undergo several different types of epigenetic modifications that influence cellular processes. These modifications include the covalent attachment of methyl or acetyl groups to lysine and arginine amino acids and the phosphorylation of serine or threonine.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated, synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 30-38 (CPATGGV(dimethyl-K)KP) of Histone H3 with a N-terminal C added for conjugation. The immunizing sequence is conserved from Tetrahymena to human.

Epitope: Lys36

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.

Physical form

Rabbit polyclonal IgG immunodepleted antiserum in buffer containing 0.05% sodium azide before the addition of glycerol to 30%. Liquid at -20°C. Serum was passed over immunoaffinity column containing the non-modified peptide.

Unpurified

Quality

Routinely evaluated by western blot on in acid-extracted proteins from sodium butyrate treated cells.

Western Blot Analysis:
A 1:1000 dilution of this lot detected methylated Histone H3 in acid-extracted proteins from untreated HeLa cells (Catalog # 13-112). The antibody did not detect recombinant Xenopus laevis histone H3 purified from E. coli (Catalog # 14-411).

Specificity

Recognizes methylated Histone H3 (Lys36), Mr 17 kDa as determined by Immunoblotting. Does not cross react with peptides containing dimethyl-histone H4 Lys20, nor Histone H3 Lys4, Lys9, or Lys27.

A broad species cross-reactivity is expected.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the vial prior to removing the cap.
