UniProt Summary
FUNCTION: SwissProt: P62805 # Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling.

Entrez Gene Summary
Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. Two molecules of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) form an octamer, around which approximately 146 bp of DNA is wrapped in repeating units, called nucleosomes. The linker histone, H1, interacts with linker DNA between nucleosomes and functions in the compaction of chromatin into higher order structures. This gene is intronless and encodes a member of t

Description:
Anti-acetyl-Histone H4
Background Information:
Histone H4 is one of the 5 main histone proteins involved in the structure of chromatin in eukaryotic cells. Featuring a main globular domain and a long N terminal tail H4 is involved with the structure of the nucleosomes of the 'beads on a string' structure. Acetylation of histone H4 occurs at several different lysine positions in the histone tail and is performed by a family of enzymes known as Histone Acetyl Transferases (HATs).
Alternate Names:
- H4 histone family, member A
- histone 1, H4a
- histone cluster 1, H4a
Specificity:
Acetylated histone H4, acetylated histone H2B from Tetrahymena and weakly cross-reacts with acetylated histone H2B from HeLa cells, may cross-react with other acetylated proteins.
Key Applications:
- Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP)
- Western Blotting
Application Notes:
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation:
5-10 μL of this lot immunoprecipitated transcriptionally active chromatin containing acetylated histone H4 from 2 X 106 serum stimulated HeLa cells.
Immunocytochemistry:
Not recommended. Use Catalog # 06-598.

Immunocytochemistry:
Not recommended. Use Catalog # 06-598.
Species Reactivity:
- Human
- Tetrahymena
- Eukaryote
Species Reactivity Note:
Human and Tetrahymena. Other species not tested, but expected to cross-react since Histone H4 is well conserved.
Isotype:
IgG
Immunogen:
KLH-conjugated peptide corresponding to a.a. 2-19 of Tetrahymena histone H4 [AGGAcKGGAcKGMGAcKVGAAcKRHS-C], acetylated on lysines 5, 8, 12 and 16.
Epitope:
a.a. 2-19
Modifications:
Acetylation
Molecular Weight:
10 kDa
Control:
TSA-treated Jurkat cells. For a negative control, perform a no-antibody immunoprecipitation by incubating the supernatant fraction with 60μl of Salmon Sperm DNA/Protein A Agarose- 50% Slurry. Transcriptionally unactivated DNA samples should be prepared as controls for PCR.
Presentation:
Whole antiserum containing 0.05% sodium azide.
Storage Conditions:
Stable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt.

Quality Assurance:
Routinely evaluated by western blot on Tetrahymena macronuclei or acid extracted proteins from HeLa cells treated with 5 mM sodium butyrate.
Western Blot Analysis:
1:2000 dilution of this lot detected acetylated histone H4 in acid extracted proteins from HeLa cells treated with 5 mM sodium butyrate. Sodium butyrate, an inhibitor of deacetylases, was used to enhance detection of acetylated histone H4.
