General description

Anti-Methyl-Histone H3 (Me-Lys9) (H3K9me1) antibody, Mouse Monoclonal (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma 7E7-H12 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a methylated (Me-Lys9) peptide corresponding to the N-terminus of human histone H3, conjugated to KLH.

Immunogen

Methylated (Me-Lys9) peptide corresponding to the N-terminus of human histone H3, conjugated to KLH.

Application

Anti-Methyl-Histone H3 (Me-Lys9) (H3K9me1) antibody has been used in immunoblotting and immunocytochemistry.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Histones are subjected to extensive covalent modifications that play an important role in development and in cancer. These modifications include phosphorylation, methylation, acetylation and ubiquitination. Histones H3 and H4 are the predominant histones modified by methylation and are highly methylated in mammalian cells. Histone methylation, like acetylation, is a complex, dynamic process involving several processes, including transcriptional regulation, chromatin condensation, mitosis, and heterochromatin assembly. Moreover, lysine residues can be mono-, di-, and tri-methylated, adding further complexity to the regulation of chromatin structure. Conserved lysine residues in the N-terminal tail domains of histone H3, Lys4, Lys9 and Lys27 are the preferred sites of methylation. Methylation of H3 at Lys9 is a modification intrinsically linked to epigenetic silencing and heterochromatin assembly.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Studies into posttranslational modifications of histones, notably acetylation, have yielded important insights into the dynamic nature of chromatin structure and its fundamental role in gene expression. The roles of other covalent histone modifications remain poorly understood. To gain further insight
