Histone H3K4me3 antibody (pAb) tested by ChIP-Seq.
ChIP was performed using the ChIP-IT® High Sensitivity Kit (Cat. No. 53040) with 30 µg chromatin from human acute myelocytic leukemia cells and 3 µl of antibody. ChIP DNA was sequenced on the Illumina NextSeq and 12.1 million sequence tags were mapped to identify H3K4me3 binding sites on chromosome 12.

Histone H3 trimethyl Lys4 antibody (pAb) tested by ChIP.
Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) was performed using the ChIP-IT® High Sensitivity Kit (Cat. No. 53040) with 2 million HL-60 cells and 3 µl of Histone H3 trimethyl Lys4 antibody. ChIP DNA was used in qPCR with the negative control primer pairs or gene-specific primer pairs as indicated. Data are presented as Binding Events Detected per 1000 Cells using Active Motif's Epigenetic Services normalization scheme which accounts for primer efficiency and the amount of chromatin used in the ChIP reaction.

Histone H3K4me3 antibody (pAb) tested by Western blot.
HeLa nuclear extract (20 µg) was probed with Histone H3K4me3 antibody (pAb) at a 1:1000 dilution. Note: For optimal results, we recommend a High Salt & Sonication Protocol when preparing nuclear extracts.

H3K4me3 antibody (pAb) tested by CUT&RUN
CUT&RUN was performed using 500,000 K562 nuclei and sequenced using 38 base-pair, paired-end reads on the Illumina NovaSeq. Data was collected from 15 million reads, and H3K4me3 data is shown for Chromosome 19.

Background

Histone H3 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). Histone H1 is a linker histone, present at the interface between the nucleosome core and DNA entry/exit points. Histone H1 is responsible for establishing higher-order chromatin structure. 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.

Histone methylation can be associated with transcriptional activation or repression, depending on the methylated residue. Lysine 4 of histone H3 can be mono-, di- or trimethylated by different histone methyltransferases (HMTs) such as SET1 or ASH1. Methylation of Lys4 is often associated with transcriptional activation. The demethylase LSD1 is able to demethylate histone H3 Lys4.

Positive Control

Active Motif's HeLa acid extract (Catalog No. 36200) can be used as a positive control for Histone H3 trimethyl Lys4 antibody.

qPCR Primers

Active Motif's Human Positive Control Primer Set ACTB-2 (Cat. No. 71005) and Human Negative Control Primer Set 1 (Cat.
