dimethylated synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 22-23 (diMeLys26) of human histone H1.4.
Application
Anti-dimethyl-Histone H1.4 (diMe-Lys26) antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 0.5-1μg/mL using acid-extracted fraction of HL60 cells.
Biochem/physiol Actions
The building block of chromatin is the nucleosome which is comprised of an octamer of core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) around which 147 bp of DNA are wrapped. In mammalian cells, four histone H1 variants (H1.2 to H1.5) are present in all somatic cells, and a fifth (H1.1) is restricted to thymus, testis, and spleen and possibly lymphocytic and neuronal cells. Histone H1.4 is di-methylated or acetylated at Lys26. Lys26 is located within the flexible N-terminal domain of H1.4, just preceding the globular domain.
Physical form

Genes encoding linker histone variants have evolved to link their expression to signals controlling the proliferative capacities of cells, i.e. cycling and growth-arrested cells express distinct and specific H1 subtypes. In metazoan, these variants show a tripartite structure, with considerably

Post-translational addition of methyl groups to the amino-terminal tails of histone proteins was discovered more than three decades ago. Only now, however, is the biological significance of lysine and arginine methylation of histone tails being elucidated. Recent findings indicate that
Glutamate dehydrogenase has been recently identified as a tissue-specific histone H3-specific clipping enzyme. We have previously shown that it cleaves free as well as chromatin-bound histone H3. However, the physiological significance of this enzyme is still not clear. The present
