Background:

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.

VALIDATION IMAGES

A Dot Blot analysis was performed to test the cross reactivity of H3K4me3 antibody (bs-53034R) with peptides containing other modifications and unmodified sequences of histone H3 and H4. One hundred to 0.2 pmol of the respective peptides were spotted on a membrane. The antibody was used at a dilution of 1:2,000. The figure shows a high specificity of the antibody for the modification of interest.


Western blot was performed using histone extracts from HeLa cells (15 μg) and H3K4me3 antibody (bs-53034R) diluted 1:500 in TBS-Tween containing 5% skimmed milk. A molecular weight marker (in kDa) is shown on the left, the position of the protein of interest is shown on the right.


HeLa cells were stained with the H3K4me3 antibody (bs-53034R) and with DAPI. Cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde for 10’ and blocked with PBS/TX-100 containing 5% normal goat serum and 1% BSA. The cells were labelled with the H3K4me3 antibody (left) diluted 1:500 in blocking solution followed by an anti-rabbit antibody conjugated to Alexa488. The middle panel shows staining of the nuclei with DAPI. A merge of the two stainings is shown on the right.
