for Histone H4 acetyl Lys5 antibody (pAb)Background

Histone H4 is one of the core components of the nucleosome. The nucleosome is the smallest subunit of chromatin and consists of 147 base pairs of DNA wrapped around an octamer of core histone proteins (two each of Histone H2A, Histone H2B, Histone H3 and Histone H4). Chromatin is subject to a variety of chemical modifications, including post-translational modifications of the histone proteins and the methylation of cytosine residues in the DNA. Reported histone modifications include acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitylation, glycosylation, ADP-ribosylation, carbonylation and SUMOylation; these modifications play a major role in regulating gene expression.

Lysine N-ε-acetylation is a dynamic, reversible and tightly regulated protein and histone modification that plays a major role in chromatin remodeling and in the regulation of gene expression in various cellular functions. H4 molecules acetylated at Lys5 or Lys8 are distributed in overlapping, but non-identical, islands throughout the euchromatic chromosome arms.

Histone H4 acetyl Lys5 antibody tested by ChIP.

Histone H4 acetyl Lys5 antibody tested by ChIP.
Chromatin IP performed using the ChIP-IT® Express Kit (Catalog No. 53008) and 50 µl of Ready-to-ChIP HeLa Chromatin (Catalog No. 53015) per ChIP. Subsequent to the ChIP reaction, DNA was purified from the immunoprecipitated chromatin and a region of the human GAPDH promoter was amplified by PCR.
    Lane 1: PCR input control.
    Lane 2: ChIP using negative control rabbit IgG.
    Lane 3: ChIP using 10 µl of Histone H4 acetyl Lys5 antibody.

Histone H4 acetyl Lys5 antibody tested by ChIP analysis.
Chromatin IP performed using the ChIP-IT® Express Kit (Catalog No. 53008) and HeLa Chromatin (1.5 x 10^6 cell equivalents per ChIP) using 10 µg of Histone H4 acetyl Lys5 pAb or the equivalent amount of rabbit IgG as a negative control. Real time, quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was performed on DNA purified from each of the ChIP reactions using a primer pair specific for the indicated gene. Data are presented as Fold Enrichment of the ChIP antibody signal versus the negative control IgG using the ddCT method.
