    H3K9me3 Antibody ChIP Grade

    Figure 1. ChIP results obtained with the Diagenode antibody directed against H3K9me3
    ChIP was performed with the Diagenode antibody against H3K9me3 (cat. No. C15410056) on sheared chromatin from 500,000 K562 cells using the “iDeal ChIP-seq” kit (cat. No. C01010051). The chromatin was spiked with a panel of in vitro assembled nucleosomes, each containing a specific lysine methylation (SNAP-ChIP K-MetStat Panel, Epicypher). A titration of the antibody consisting of 0.5, 1 and 2 µg per ChIP experiment was analysed. IgG (1 µg/IP) was used as negative IP control.
    Figure 1A. Quantitative PCR was performed with primers for the ZNF510 gene and the Sat2 satellite repeat, used as positive controls, and for the EIF4A2 and GAPDH promoters, used as negative controls. The graph shows the recovery, expressed as a % of input (the relative amount of immunoprecipitated DNA compared to input DNA after qPCR analysis).
    Figure 1B. Recovery of the nucleosomes carrying the H3K9me1, H3K9me2, H3K9me3, H3K4me3, H3K27me3, H3K36me3, H4K20me3 modifications and the unmodified H3K9 as determined by qPCR. The figure clearly shows the antibody is very specific in ChIP for the H3K9me3 modification when using 0.5 or 1 µg. With 2 µg of antibody, some recovery of the H3K27me3 nucleosome is observed.

    Figure 2. ChIP-seq results obtained with the Diagenode antibody directed against H3K9me3
    ChIP was performed with 1 µg of the Diagenode antibody against H3K9me3 (cat. No. C15410056) on sheared chromatin from 500,000 K562 cells using the “iDeal ChIP-seq” kit as described above. The IP'd DNA was subsequently analysed on an Illumina HiSeq4000. Library preparation, cluster generation and sequencing were performed according to the manufacturer's instructions. The 50 bp tags were aligned to the human genome using the BWA algorithm. Figure 2A shows the signal distribution along the long arm of chromosome 19 and a zoom-in to an enriched region containing several ZNF repeat genes. The arrows indicate two satellite repeat regions which exhibit a stronger signal. Figures 2B and 2C show the enrichment along the ZNF510 positive control target and at the KCNQ1 imprinted gene.

    H3K9me3 Antibody ELISA validation

    Figure 3. Determination of the antibody titer
    To determine the titer of the antibody, an ELISA was performed using a serial dilution of the antibody directed against human H3K9me3 (cat. No. C15410056) in antigen coated wells. The antigen used was a peptide containing the histone modification of interest. By plotting the absorbance against the antibody dilution (Figure 3), the titer of the antibody was estimated to be 1:198,000.

    H3K9me3 Antibody validated in Dot Blot

    Figure 4. Cross reactivity tests using the Diagenode antibody directed against H3K9me3
    A Dot Blot analysis was performed to test the cross reactivity of the Diagenode antibody against H3K9me3 (cat. No. C15410056) with peptides containing other modifications of histone H3 and H4 and the unmodified sequence of histone H3. One hundred to 0.2 pmol of the peptide containing the respective histone modification were spotted on a membrane. The antibody was used at a dilution of 1:2,000. Figure 4 shows a high specificity of the antibody for the modification of interest.

    H3K9me3 Antibody validated in Western blot

    Figure 5. Western blot analysis using the Diagenode antibody directed against H3K9me3
    Western blot was performed on 40 µg whole cell extracts from HeLa cells (lane 1) and on 1 µg of recombinant histone H3 (lane 2) using the Diagenode antibody against H3K9me3 (cat. No. C15410056). The antibody was diluted 1:2,000 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.

    Forn M, Muñoz M, Tauriello DV, Merlos-Suárez A, Rodilla V, Bigas A, Batlle E, Jordà M, Peinado MA
    DNA methylation and chromatin remodeling are frequently implicated in the silencing of genes involved in carcinogenesis. Long Range Epigenetic Silencing (LRES) is a mechanism of gene inactivation that affects multiple contiguous CpG islands and has been described in different human cancer types. However, it is unkno...

    Transgene- and locus-dependent imprinting reveals allele-specific chromosome conformations.
    Lonfat N, Montavon T, Jebb D, Tschopp P, Nguyen Huynh TH, Zakany J, Duboule D
    When positioned into the integrin α-6 gene, an Hoxd9lacZ reporter transgene displayed parental imprinting in mouse embryos. While the expression from the paternal allele was comparable with patterns seen for the same transgene when present at the neighboring HoxD locus, almost no signal was scored at this integratio...

    Expression of a large LINE-1-driven antisense RNA is linked to epigenetic silencing of the metastasis suppressor gene TFPI-2 in cancer.
    Cruickshanks HA, Vafadar-Isfahani N, Dunican DS, Lee A, Sproul D, Lund JN, Meehan RR, Tufarelli C
    LINE-1 retrotransposons are abundant repetitive elements of viral origin, which in normal cells are kept quiescent through epigenetic mechanisms. Activation of LINE-1 occurs frequently in cancer and can enable LINE-1 mobilization but also has retrotransposition-independent consequences. We previously reported that i...

    Herzog M, Josseaux E, Dedeurwaerder S, Calonne E, Volkmar M, Fuks F
    Histone demethylation has important roles in regulating gene expression and forms part of the epigenetic memory system that regulates cell fate and identity by still poorly understood mechanisms. Here, we examined the role of histone demethylase Kdm3a during cell differentiation, showing that Kdm3a is essential for ...

    Global DNA hypomethylation coupled to repressive chromatin domain formation and gene silencing in breast cancer.
    Hon GC, Hawkins RD, Caballero OL, Lo C, Lister R, Pelizzola M, Valsesia A, Ye Z, Kuan S, Edsall LE, Camargo AA, Stevenson BJ, Ecker JR, Bafna V, Strausberg RL, Simpson AJ, Ren B
    While genetic mutation is a hallmark of cancer, many cancers also acquire epigenetic alterations during tumorigenesis including aberrant DNA hypermethylation of tumor suppressors, as well as changes in chromatin modifications as caused by genetic mutations of the chromatin-modifying machinery. However, the extent of...

    Prepatterning of developmental gene expression by modified histones before zygotic genome activation.
    Lindeman LC, Andersen IS, Reiner AH, Li N, Aanes H, Østrup O, Winata C, Mathavan S, Müller F, Aleström P, Collas P
    A hallmark of anamniote vertebrate development is a window of embryonic transcription-independent cell divisions before onset of zygotic genome activation (ZGA). Chromatin determinants of ZGA are unexplored; however, marking of developmental genes by modified histones in sperm suggests a predictive role of histone m...

    H3.5 is a novel hominid-specific histone H3 variant that is specifically expressed in the seminiferous tubules of human testes.
    Schenk R, Jenke A, Zilbauer M, Wirth S, Postberg J
    The incorporation of histone variants into chromatin plays an important role for the establishment of particular chromatin states. Six human histone H3 variants are known to date, not counting CenH3 variants: H3.1, H3.2, H3.3 and the testis-specific H3.1t as well as the recently described variants H3.X and H3.Y. We ...

    Embryonic lethal phenotype reveals a function of TDG in maintaining epigenetic stability.
    Cortázar D, Kunz C, Selfridge J, Lettieri T, Saito Y, MacDougall E, Wirz A, Schuermann D, Jacobs AL, Siegrist F, Steinacher R, Jiricny J, Bird A, Schär P
    Thymine DNA glycosylase (TDG) is a member of the uracil DNA glycosylase (UDG) superfamily of DNA repair enzymes. Owing to its ability to excise thymine when mispaired with guanine, it was proposed to act against the mutability of 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) deamination in mammalian DNA. However, TDG was also found to in...

    Characterization of the contradictory chromatin signatures at the 3' exons of zinc finger genes.
    Blahnik KR, Dou L, Echipare L, Iyengar S, O'Geen H, Sanchez E, Zhao Y, Marra MA, Hirst M, Costello JF, Korf I, Farnham PJ
    The H3K9me3 histone modification is often found at promoter regions, where it functions to repress transcription. However, we have previously shown that 3' exons of zinc finger genes (ZNFs) are marked by high levels of H3K9me3. We have now further investigated this unusual location for H3K9me3 in ZNF genes. Neither ...

    ZNF274 recruits the histone methyltransferase SETDB1 to the 3' ends of ZNF genes.
    Frietze S, O'Geen H, Blahnik KR, Jin VX, Farnham PJ
    Only a small percentage of human transcription factors (e.g. those associated with a specific differentiation program) are expressed in a given cell type. Thus, cell fate is mainly determined by cell type-specific silencing of transcription factors that drive different cellular lineages. Several histone modification...
