Background InformationHistones are highly conserved proteins that serve as the structural scaffold for the organization of nuclear DNA into chromatin. Histones 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). Methylation of histone H4 at lysine 20 has been implicated in transcriptional activation, gene silencing, heterochromatin formation, mitosis, and DNA repair. Histone H4 is progressively methylated at Lys20 during the G(2), M, and G(1) phases of the cell cycle, and methylation of H4Lys20 is a marker for heterochromatin. In mammals, the female X chromosome is coated by the Xist RNA, which is critical for silencing, and is marked mainly by methylation of H3Lys9, H3Lys27 and H4Lys20.

Applications
ApplicationAnti-monomethyl Histone H4 (Lys20) Antibody, Trial Size is a rabbit polyclonal antibody for detection of monomethyl Histone H4 (Lys20) also known as H4K20me1, Histone H4 (mono methyl K20), H4 histone family member A & has been validated in WB.
Key Applications
  • Western Blotting
  • Dot Blot
  • Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP)
  • Peptide Inhibition Assay
Application NotesChromatin Immunoprecipitation:
Sonicated chromatin prepared from HeLa cells (2 X 106 cell equivalents per IP) was subjected to chromatin immunoprecipitation using 4 μg of either a negative control antibody or Anti-Monomethyl-Histone H4
(Lys20) antibody and the Magna ChIP A Kit (Cat. #17-610). Successful immunoprecipitation of monomethyl-histone H4 (Lys20)-associated DNA fragments was verified by qPCR using GAPDH coding region ChIP Primers versus Control Primers corresponding to the GAPDH promoter.
Please refer to the EZ-Magna ChIP™ A (Cat. # 17-408) or EZ-ChIP™ (Cat. # 17-371) protocol for experimental details.

Dot Blot Analysis : Absurance Histone H3 Antibody Specificity Array (Cat. No. 16-667) and Absurance Histone H2A, H2B, H4 Antibody Specificity Array (Cat. No. 16-665), which contain histone peptides with various modifications were probed with Cat. No. 07-1570-S Anti-monomethyl Histone H4 (Lys20) at 1:1000 dilution. Proteins were visualized using a Donkey anti-rabbit IgG conjugated to HRP and a chemiluminescence detection system.

Western Blot Analysis:
0.1 μg/mL of proteins were visualized using a goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody conjugated to HRP and a chemiluminescence detection system (Please see figures)

Peptide Blocking Assay:
40 μg of histone H4 peptide containing monomethyl Lys20 abolished detection of histone H4 by anti-monomethyl-Histone H4 (Lys20) in immunoblot analysis of acid extracts of HeLa cells (Please see figures).

Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryHistones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. Two molecules of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) form an octamer, around which approximately 146 bp of DNA is wrapped in repeating units, called nucleosomes. The linker histone, H1, interacts with linker DNA between nucleosomes and functions in the compaction of chromatin into higher order structures. This gene is intronless and encodes a member of the histone H4 family. Transcripts from this gene lack polyA tails but instead contain a palindromic termination element. This gene is found in the large histone gene cluster on chromosome 6. [provided by RefSeq]

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling.
SUBUNIT: The nucleosome is a histone octamer containing two molecules each of H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 assembled in one H3-H4 heterotetramer and two H2A-H2B heterodimers. The octamer wraps approximately 147 bp of DNA

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus.
PTM: Acetylation at Lys-6, Lys-9, Lys-13 and Lys-17 occurs in coding regions of the genome but not in heterochromatin.
PTM: Citrullination at Arg-4 by PADI4 impairs methylation.
PTM: Monomethylation at Arg-4 by PRMT1 favors acetylation at Lys-9 and Lys-13. Demethylation is performed by JMJD6.
PTM: Monomethylated, dimethylated or trimethylated at Lys-21. Monomethylation is performed by SET8. Trimethylation is performed by SUV420H1 and SUV420H2 and induces gene silencing.
PTM: Ubiquitinated by the CUL4-DDB-RBX1 complex in response to ultraviolet irradiation. This may weaken the interaction between histones and DNA and facilitate DNA accessibility to repair proteins.
PTM: Sumoylated, which is associated with transcriptional repression.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the histone H4 family.
