  • Validation Data

    H3K4me2 Antibody ChIP Grade

    Figure 1. ChIP results obtained with the Diagenode antibody directed against H3K4me2
    ChIP assays were performed using human osteosarcoma (U2OS) cells, the Diagenode antibody against H3K4me2 (cat. No. CS-035-100) and optimized PCR primer sets for qPCR. Chromatin was sheared with the Diagenode “Shearing ChIP” kit (cat. No. kch-redmod-100). ChIP was performed with the “OneDay ChIP” kit (cat. No. kch-oneDIP-060), using sheared chromatin from 1.6 million cells. A titration of the antibody consisting of 2, 5, 10 or 15 μl per ChIP experiment was analysed. IgG (5 μg/IP) was used as negative IP control. Quantitative PCR was performed with primers for the promoter of the ALDOA gene and for the coding region of the myogenic differentiation gene (MYOD), a gene that is inactive at normal conditions. Figure 1 shows the recovery, expressed as a % of input (the relative amount of immunoprecipitated DNA compared to input DNA after qPCR analysis). These results are in accordance with the observation that dimethylation of K4 at histone H3 is more present at active genes than at silent genes.

    H3K4me2 Antibody ELISA validation

    Figure 2. Determination of the titer
    To determine the titer, an ELISA was performed using a serial dilution of the Diagenode antibody directed against H3K4me2 (cat. No. CS-035-100). The antigen used was a peptide containing the histone modification of interest. By plotting the absorbance against the antibody dilution (Figure 2), the titer of the antibody was estimated to be 1:2,600.

    H3K4me2 Antibody validated in Dot Blot

    Figure 3. Cross reactivity test using the Diagenode antibody directed against H3K4me2
    A Dot Blot analysis was performed to test the cross reactivity of the Diagenode antibody against H3K4me2 (cat. No. CS-035-100) with peptides containing other modifications or unmodified sequences of histone H3. Other histone modifications include mono- and trimethylation of the same lysine and mono-, di- and trimethylation of lysine 9, 27 and 36 and 79. One hundred to 0.2 pmol of the peptides were spotted on a membrane. The antibody was used at a dilution of 1:20,000. Figure 3 shows a high specificity of the antibody for the modification of interest.

    H3K4me2 Antibody validated in Western Blot

    Figure 4. Western blot analysis using the Diagenode antibody directed against H3K4me2
    Histone extracts of HeLa cells (15 μg) were analysed by Western blot using the Diagenode antibody against H3K4me2 (cat. No. CS-035-100) diluted 1:750 in TBS-Tween containing 5% skimmed milk. The position of the protein of interest is indicated on the right; the marker (in kDa) is shown on the left.

  • Target Description

    Histones are the main constituents of the protein part of chromosomes of eukaryotic cells. They are rich in the amino acids arginine and lysine and have been greatly conserved during evolution. Histones pack the DNA into tight masses of chromatin. Two core histones of each class H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 assemble and are wrapped by 146 base pairs of DNA to form one octameric nucleosome. Histone tails undergo numerous post-translational modifications, which either directly or indirectly alter chromatin structure to facilitate transcriptional activation or repression or other nuclear processes. In addition to the genetic code, combinations of the different histone modifications reveal the so-called “histone code”. Histone methylation and demethylation is dynamically regulated by respectively histone methyl transferases and histone demethylases. Methylation of histone H3K4 is associated with activation of gene transcription.

    Lysine-specific demethylase 1 regulates differentiation onset and migration of trophoblast stem cells.
    Zhu D, Hölz S, Metzger E, Pavlovic M, Jandausch A, Jilg C, Galgoczy P, Herz C, Moser M, Metzger D, Günther T, Arnold SJ, Schüle R
    Propagation and differentiation of stem cell populations are tightly regulated to provide sufficient cell numbers for tissue formation while maintaining the stem cell pool. Embryonic parts of the mammalian placenta are generated from differentiating trophoblast stem cells (TSCs) invading the maternal decidua. Here w...

    Histone modifications at the blastocyst Axin1(Fu) locus mark the heritability of in vitro culture-induced epigenetic alterations in mice.
    Fernandez-Gonzalez R, Ramirez MA, Pericuesta E, Calle A, Gutierrez-Adan A
    For epigenetic phenotypes to be passed on from one generation to the next, it is required that epigenetic marks between generations are not cleared during the two stages of epigenetic reprogramming: mammalian gametogenesis and preimplantation development. The molecular nature of the chromatin marks involved in these...

    Phosphorylation of histone H3T6 by PKCbeta(I) controls demethylation at histone H3K4.
    Metzger E, Imhof A, Patel D, Kahl P, Hoffmeyer K, Friedrichs N, Müller JM, Greschik H, Kirfel J, Ji S, Kunowska N, Beisenherz-Huss C, Günther T, Buettner R, Schüle R
    Demethylation at distinct lysine residues in histone H3 by lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) causes either gene repression or activation. As a component of co-repressor complexes, LSD1 contributes to target gene repression by removing mono- and dimethyl marks from lysine 4 of histone H3 (H3K4). In contrast, durin...
