ChIP Tested Antibodies

Chromatin structure plays a fundamental role in regulating processes that take place on the DNA, such as transcription, replication, and recombination, all of which occur on nucleosomal templates. Therefore, mapping the position of histones selectively modified and histone variants or non-histone components of chromatin in specific DNA sequences, can provide valuable insights into how these proteins (and their modifications) function in a chromatin context.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a powerful tool for identifying proteins, including histone proteins and non-histone proteins, associated with specific regions of the genome by using specific antibodies that recognize a specific protein or a specific modification of a protein. The method is based on the principle that formaldehyde reacts with primary amines located on amino acids and the bases on DNA or RNA molecules, forming a covalent crosslink between the specific protein to the DNA on which they are situated.

Once the DNA binding proteins are crosslinked, the cells are lysed and the crude cell extracts are sonicated to shear the DNA to a smaller size. The protein: DNA complex is immunoprecipitated using an antibody against the protein of interest. The DNA protein cross-links are reversed by heating and the proteins removed by treatment with proteinase K. The DNA portion of the complex is then purified and identified by PCR using specific primers to the suspected binding region.

Anti-Acetylated Proteins antibody produced in rabbit

anti-acetylated-proteins

For validation the product A5463, Anti-Acetylated Proteins antibody produced in rabbit with the CHP1 kit. GAPDH is a ubiquitously transcribed gene, hence the acetylation transcription mark is enriched on its promoter in HeLa cells. For each reaction, 2.5 µg of antibody and 250,000 cells were used followed by qPCR analysis. All the buffers used in the protocol were made with Sigma products. PCR was done using S9939, the SYBR JumpStart ReadyMix.

Anti-methyl-Histone H3 (Me-Lys9) Antibody Produced in Rabbit

anti-methyl-histone

For validation the product H7162, Anti-methyl-Histone H3 (Me-Lys9) antibody produced in rabbit with the CHP1 kit. To analyze promoter regions for GAPDH, KRT17, MYT1, and SOCS2 in SW480 cells following a 24 hour treatment with 5 mM Sodium Butyrate (B5887), a histone deactylase (HDAC) inhibitor. Values were normalized to GAPDH levels. 2 µg of antibody H3K9me (H7162) and 250,000 cells were used per reaction. A post treatment decrease in the association of KRT17, MYT1, and SOCS2 regions with H3K9me is expected as they are target genes of the polycomb repressor complex which requires HDAC activity to represses/silence the transcription of its target genes.
