      DescriptionChIPAb+™ Dimethyl-Histone H4 (Arg3) Symmetric - ChIP Validated Antibody and Primer Set
      OverviewAll ChIPAb+ antibodies are individually validated for chromatin precipitation, every lot, every time. Each ChIPAb+ antibody set includes control primers (tested every lot by qPCR) to biologically validate your IP results in a locus-specific context. The qPCR protocol and primer sequences are provided, allowing researchers to validate ChIP protocols when using our antibody in their chromatin context. Each set also includes a negative control antibody to ensure specificity of the ChIP reaction.
      The ChIPAb+ Dimethyl-Histone H4 (Arg3) Symmetric set includes the Dimethyl-Histone H4 (Arg3) Symmetric antibody, a Normal Rabbit IgG, and control primers which amplify a 110 bp region of ChIP Primers, human β-globin. The Dimethyl-Histone H4 (Arg3) Symmetric and negative controls are supplied in a scalable "per ChIP" reaction size and can be used to functionally validate the precipitation of Dimethyl-Histone H4 (Arg3) Symmetric-associated chromatin.

      Background InformationHistones are highly conserved proteins that serve as the structural scaffold for the organization of nuclear DNA into chromatin. The four core histones, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4, assemble into an octamer (2 molecules of each). Histones are modified post-translationally by the actions of enzymes in both the nucleus and cytoplasm. These modifications, which include acetylation, phosphorylation, methylation, and ubiquitin-ation, occur predominantly on the N-terminal and C-terminal tails that extend beyond the nucleosome core particle. Arginine modifications of histones proteins are mediated by two classes of protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs), class I and II. Class I PRMTs place two methyl groups on the one nitrogen atom of the arginine guanidino group, resulting in an asymmetric modification. In contrast class II PRMTs place two methyl groups on two nitrogen atoms of the guanidino group producing a symmetric dimethylation. Although there are exceptions, asymmetric modifications are typically associated with transcription activation while symmetric modifications are most commonly associated with transcriptional repression.

      Application NotesChromatin Immunoprecipitation:
      Representative lot data.
      Sonicated chromatin prepared from HeLa cells (1 X 10E6 cell equivalents per IP) were subjected to chromatin immunoprecipitation using 1 µg of either Normal rabbit IgG or 0.7 µg of Anti-Dimethyl-Histone H4 (Arg3) Symmetric and the Magna ChIP™ A Kit (Cat. # 17-610). Successful immunoprecipitation of Dimethyl-Histone H4 (Arg3) Symmetric associated DNA fragments was verified by qPCR using ChIP Primers, human β-globin as a positive locus, and GAPDH promoter primers (22-004) as a negative locus. (Figure 2). Data is presented as percent input of each IP sample relative to input chromatin for each amplicon and ChIP sample as indicated.
      Please refer to the EZ-Magna ChIP™ A (Cat. # 17-408) or EZ-ChIP™ (Cat. # 17-371) protocol for experimental details.

      Entrez Gene Number
      Entrez Gene SummaryHistones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. This structure consists of approximately 146 bp of DNA wrapped around a nucleosome, an octamer composed of pairs of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4). The chromatin fiber is further compacted through the interaction of a linker histone, H1, with the DNA between the nucleosomes to form higher order chromatin structures. This gene is intronless and encodes a member of the histone H4 family. Transcripts from this gene lack polyA tails; instead, they contain a palindromic termination element. This gene is found in a histone cluster on chromosome 1. This gene is one of four histone genes in the cluster that are duplicated; this record represents the telomeric copy. [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 STRUCTURE: 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. Chromosome.

      PTM: Acetylation at Lys-6 (H4K5ac), Lys-9 (H4K8ac), Lys-13 (H4K12ac) and Lys-17 (H4K16ac) occurs in coding regions of the genome but not in heterochromatin.

      Citrullination at Arg-4 (H4R3ci) by PADI4 impairs methylation.

      Monomethylation at Arg-4 (H4R3me1) by PRMT1 favors acetylation at Lys-9 (H4K8ac) and Lys-13 (H4K12ac). Demethylation is performed by JMJD6.

      Symmetric dimethylation on Arg-4 (H4R3me2a) by the PRDM1/PRMT5 complex may play a crucial role in the germ-cell lineage.

      Monomethylated, dimethylated or trimethylated at Lys-21 (H4K20me1, H4K20me2, H4K20me3). Monomethylation is performed by SET8. Trimethylation is performed by SUV420H1 and SUV420H2 and induces gene silencing.

      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. Monoubiquitinated at Lys-92 of histone H4 (H4K91ub1) in response to DNA damage. The exact role of H4K91ub1 in DNA damage response is still unclear but it may function as a licensing signal for additional histone H4 post-translational modifications such as H4 Lys-21 methylation (H4K20me).

      Sumoylated, which is associated with transcriptional repression.

      SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES: Belongs to the histone H4 family.

      SEQUENCE CAUTION: The sequence AAI28106.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at position 3.
      Molecular Weight~13 kDa observed. Crossreacting band at ~58 kDa has been observed in some lysates.
