human ... HIST1H2AG(8969)

General description

Histone H2A is one of four components of the core nucleosomal structure. The nucleosome represents a unit of chromatin in which DNA is wrapped around a histone octamer. Histones undergo a number of post-translational modifications (PTM) in response to various stimuli that may induce changes in the structure of the nucleosome and hide or expose DNA sequences. Histone H2A, in particular, undergoes acetylation on lysine 5 by the Tip60 enzyme which may promote unfolding of chromatin and transcription. In addition, H2A is phosphorylated on serine 1 and serine 139 (H2A.X) residues which mark mitosis and gene repression, and DNA damage, respectively. Gene repression may also result from the sumoylation of H2A’s lysine 126 residue. In addition, ubiquitination of the H2A lysine 119 residue may play a role in spermatogenesis. It is the pattern of different modifications on several histone residues that alter chromatin, rather than modification of single residues.

Specificity

Broad species reactivity expected based on sequence similarity.
This antibody recognizes Histone H2A at the C-terminus.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to the C-terminus of human Histone H2A.

Application

Immunohistchemistry Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected Histone H2A in liver and kidney tissues.
Use Anti-Histone H2A Antibody (Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody) validated in WB, IHC to detect Histone H2A also known as Histone H2A type 1, H2A.1, Histone H2A/p.

Quality

CARM1 is a protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) that acts as a coactivator in a number of transcriptional programs. CARM1 orchestrates this coactivator activity in part by depositing the H3R17me2a histone mark in the vicinity of gene promoters that it regulates.

How chromatin dynamics is regulated to ensure efficient DNA repair remains to be understood. Here, we report that the ubiquitin-specific protease USP11 acts as a histone deubiquitinase to catalyze H2AK119 and H2BK120 deubiquitination. We showed that USP11 is physically associated
