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

To test the cross reactivity of the H3K56ac Polyclonal Antibody (bs-53145R), a Dot Blot analysis was performed with peptides containing other histone modifications and the unmodified H3K56. One hundred to 0.2 pmol of the respective peptides were spotted on a membrane. The antibody was used at a dilution of 1:20,000. Figure shows a high specificity of the antibody for the modification of interest.


To determine the titer of the antibody, an ELISA was performed using a serial dilution of H3K56ac Polyclonal Antibody (bs-53145R) in antigen-coated wells. The antigen used was a peptide containing the histone modification of interest. By plotting the absorbance against the antibody dilution, the titer of the antibody was estimated to be 1:15,300.


ChIP was performed on sheared chromatin from 1.5 million HeLaS3 cells using 5 μg of H3K56ac Polyclonal Antibody (bs-53145R) as described previously. The IP’d DNA was subsequently analyzed on an Illumina HiSeq. Library preparation, cluster generation and sequencing were performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The 51 bp tags were aligned to the human genome using the BWA algorithm. Figure shows the enrichment along the complete sequence and a 1 Mb region of the X-chromosome (fig A and B) and in genomic regions of chromosome 12 and 3, surrounding the GAPDH and EIF4A2 positive control genes.
