Applications

ChIP Validated Western Blot Validated Dot Blot Validated

Application Notes

Applications Validated by Active Motif:
ChIP: 10 µg per ChIP
WB*: 1 - 2 µg/ml dilution

The addition of 0.05% Tween 20 in the blocking buffer and primary antibody incubation buffer is recommended to aid in detection by Western blot. Individual optimization may be required.

*Note: many chromatin-bound proteins are not soluble in a low salt nuclear extract and fractionate to the pellet. Therefore, we recommend a High Salt / Sonication Protocol when preparing nuclear extracts for Western blot.

Immunogen

This Histone H3 dimethyl Lys79 antibody was raised against a peptide including dimethyl-lysine 79 of histone H3.

Buffer

Purified IgG in PBS (pH 7.5) with 30% glycerol and 0.035% sodium azide. Sodium azide is highly toxic. For your convenience, an unpurified serum version (Catalog No. 39143) of this antibody is also available.

Histone H3 dimethyl Lys79 antibody tested by ChIP analysis.
Chromatin IP performed using the ChIP-IT® Express Kit (Catalog No. 53008) and HeLa Chromatin (1.5 x 106 cell equivalents per ChIP) using 10 µg of Histone H3 dimethyl Lys79 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.

Nuclear extract of HeLa cells (20 µg) probed with Histone H3 dimethyl Lys79 antibody (1 µg/ml dilution).

Histone H3 dimethyl Lys79 antibody (pAb) tested by dot blot analysis.
Dot blot analysis was used to confirm the specificity of Histone H3 dimethyl Lys79 antibody for dimethyl-Lys79 of histone H3. Peptides corresponding to the region around lysine 79 of histone H3 were spotted onto PVDF and probed with Histone H3 dimethyl Lys79 antibody at a dilution of 0.5 µg/ml. The amount of peptide (in picomoles) spotted is indicated next to each row.

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). 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 79 of histone H3 can be mono-, di- or trimethylated by Dot1 methylase; methylation at this residue acts as a marker of inactive chromatin regions that is critical for transcriptional silencing, and it is thought that silencing proteins such as Sir3 function by blocking Dot1 methylation.

Positive Control
