IF (Immunofluorescence)

(Detection of H2BK16ac by immunofluorescence U2OS cells were stained with H2BK16ac antibody at a dilution of 1:500. Left panel: DAPI. Middle panel: H2BK16ac antibody staining. Right panel: merge.)

DB (Dot Blot)

(Histone H2B acetyl Lys16 pAb tested by dot blot analysis. Specificity Data: Dot blot analysis was used to confirm the specificity of Histone H2B acetyl Lys16 pAb for acetyl-Lys 16 of histone H2B. Decreasing amounts of modified and unmodified peptides were spotted onto PVDF and probed with the antibody at a dilution of 1:5,000. Lane 1: Peptide acetylated at lysine 5 of H2B. Lane 2: Unmodified lysine 5 peptide. Lane 3: Peptide acetylated at lysine 16 of H2B. Lane 4: unmodified lysine 16 peptide. Lane 5: Peptide acetylated at lysine 120 of H2B. Lane 6: Unmodified lysine 120 peptide.)

WB (Western Blot)

(Histone H2B acetyl Lys16 pAb tested by Western blot. HeLa acid extract (5 ug per lane) was probed with Histone H2B acetyl Lys16 polyclonal antibody (1:20,000 dilution). Lane 1: No treatment. Lane 2: Cells treated with sodium butyrate.)

ChIP (Chromatin Immunoprecipitation)

(Histone H2B acetyl Lys16 pAb tested by ChIP analysis. ChIP performed on HeLa cell chromatin using 39121. PCR was performed using primers specific for the promoter region of the human GAPDH gene. Lane 1: negative IgG control. Lane 2: ChIP using 10 ul of 39121. Lane 3: Input DNA control.)

Short Description: Our Histone H2BK16ac antibody (pAb) was raised in a Rabbit host. It has been validated for use in Chromatin Immunoprecipitation, Dot blot, Immunofluorescence and Western blot; it has been shown to react with Human samples, but it is predicted that it will react with a wide range of sample types.

Background: Histone H2B 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; it 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; they play a major role in regulating gene expression. Lysine N-epsilon-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. Histone H2A and Histone H2B are acetylated in bulk chromatin by p300 and form acetylated Histone H2A/Histone H2B heterodimers. When DNA associates with intact core histone octamers that contain acetylated H2A/H2B dimers, the inhibition of transcriptional initiation significantly decreases, indicating that acetylation of their lysine residues may mediate transcription. The acetylation of Histone H2B at Lys16 is associated with transcriptional activation and is involved in cell survival process.
