General description

All ChIPAb+ antibodies are individually validated for chromatin precipitation, every lot, every time. Each ChIPAb+ antibody set includes control primers (tested every lot by qPCR) to biologically validate your IP results in a locus-specific context. The qPCR protocol and primer sequences are provided, allowing researchers to validate ChIP protocols when using our antibody in their chromatin context. Each set also includes a negative control antibody to ensure specificity of the ChIP reaction.
The ChIPAb+ Dimethyl Histone H3 (Lys36) set includes a Dimethyl Histone H3 (Lys36) antibody, a Normal Rabbit Serum, and positive control primers which amplify a 87 bp region of the human GAPDH coding region. The Dimethyl Histone H3 (Lys36) antibody and negative controls are supplied in a scalable "per ChIP" reaction size and can be used to functionally validate the precipitation of dimethyl Histone H3 (Lys36) associated chromatin.
Histones are highly conserved proteins that serve as the structural scaffold for the organization of nuclear DNA into chromatin. The four core histones, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4, assemble into an octamer (2 molecules of each). Subsequently, 146 base pairs of DNA are wrapped around the octamer, forming a nucleosome, the basic subunit of chromatin. Histones are modified post-translationally by the actions of enzymes in both the nucleus and cytoplasm. These modifications regulate DNA transcription, repair, recombination, and replication. The most commonly studied modifications are acetylation, phosphorylation, methylation, and ubiquitination. These modifications can alter local chromatin architecture, or recruit trans-acting factors that recognize specific histone modifications (the "histone code" hypothesis). The modifications occur predominantly on the N-terminal and C-terminal tails that extend beyond the nucleosome core particle. Methylation of histone H3 on Lys36 (H3K36me2/3) is tightly associated with actively transcribed genes, and this modification is found primarily within the coding region, suggesting H3K36 methylation is necessary for efficient RNA polymerase II elongation and processivity.

Specificity

Recognizes Dimethyl Histone H3 (Lys36). No detectable cross-reactivity unmethylated, mono, or dimethylated Lys36. No detectable cross reactivity to other histone modifications as measured by AbSurance Histone Antibody Specificity Arrays.
Wide reactivity with other species is expected.

Immunogen

Epitope: Dimethylated Lys36
KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to a region near the N-terminus of human Histone H3 dimethylated at Lys36.

Application

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation:
Sonicated chromatin prepared from HeLa cells (1e5 cell equivalents per IP) were subjected to chromatin immunoprecipitation using 1 µL of either Normal Rabbit Serum (Part No. CS200585), or 1 µL Anti-Dimethyl Histone H3 (Lys36) (Part No.CS207357) and the Magna ChIP HiSens (Cat. # 17-10460). Successful immunoprecipitation of dimethyl Histone H3 (Lys36) associated DNA fragments was verified by qPCR using ChIP Primers, GAPDH coding D2 (Part No. CS207323) as a positive locus, and GAPDH promoter (Part No. 22-004) as a negative locus. (Figure 2). Data are presented as percent input of each IP sample relative to input chromatin for each amplicon and ChIP sample as indicated.
Please refer to the Magna ChIP HiSens (Cat. # 17-10460) or EZ-MagnaChIP HiSens(Cat. # 17-10461) protocol for experimental details.

Western Blotting Analysis:
A 1:10,000 dilution of this antibody detected dimethyl Histone H3 (Lys36) in 10 µg HeLa acid extract and demonstrated a loss of signal in 0.5 µg of unmethylated recombinant Histone H3

Dot Blot Analysis: Representative lot data.

No. 16-665, Fig. B) were probed with Anti-Dimethyl Histone H3 (Lys36) (1:10,000 dilution). Proteins were visualized using a Donkey Anti-Rabbit IgG secondary antibody conjugated to HRP and a chemiluminescence detection system.
