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

Western blot was performed on whole cell (25μg, lane 1) and histone extracts (15μg, lane 2) from HeLa cells, and on 1 μg of recombinant histone H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 (lane 3, 4, 5 and 6, respectively) using H4K5ac Polyclonal Antibody (bs-53099R). Antibody was diluted 1:500 in TBS-Tween containing 5% skim milk.


Dot Blot analysis was performed with peptides containing a variety of histone modifications and the unmodified H4. 0.2-100 pmol of the respective peptides were spotted on a membrane. H4K5ac Polyclonal Antibody (bs-53099R) was used at 1:5,000 dilution. Result shows high specificity of the antibody for the modification of interest.


ELISA was performed using a serial dilution of the H4K5ac Polyclonal Antibody (bs-53099R) against peptide containing the histone modification of interest. By plotting the absorbance against the antibody dilution, the titer of the antibody was estimated to be 1:8,900.


HeLa cells were stained with the H4K5ac Polyclonal Antibody (bs-53099R) 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 immunofluorescently labeled with the H4K5ac 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 staining is shown on the right.
