Expressed Protein Ligation
Recombinant Histone H3K4me3 biotinylated (EPL) has been generated using the patented Expressed Protein Ligation (EPL) technology. EPL can be used to generate methylated, acetylated or phosphorylated histones. In EPL, the histone globular domain is ligated to a peptide that contains the N-terminal histone tail with the desired site-specific modification. The ligation reaction maintains the native histone bonds, and the resulting recombinant protein more closely mimics natural histones.

Background
Histone H3 is one of the core components of the nucleosome. The nucleosome is the smallest subunit of chromatin and consists of 146 base pairs of DNA wrapped around an octamer of core histone proteins (two each of H2A, H2B, H3 and H4). Histone H1 is a linker protein, present at the interface between the nucleosome core and DNA entry/exit points.
Application Notes
Recombinant histones are suitable for use as positive controls in the analysis of histone post-translational modifications, as substrates for histone modification enzymes, or to generate chromatin in vitro.

Protein Details
Truncated human Histone H3.2 is produced in E. coli and purified using FPLC. The purified protein is subsequently ligated to a peptide containing the histone tail with a N-terminal biotin and trimethyl lysine 4 via a native peptide bond. The full-length protein is then repurified prior to lyophilization. Protein concentration was determined using the molar extinction coefficient for Histone H3 and absorbance at 280nm. Protein was determined to have ≥ 98% purity by SDS-PAGE. The molecular weight is 15,607 Daltons. Please click on the image below to view the mass spectrum.
Storage
Lyophilized proteins can be stored at -20°C or -80°C, preferably desiccated. Recombinant proteins in solution are temperature sensitive and must be stored at -80°C to prevent degradation. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles and keep on ice when not in storage.
