DescriptionChIPAb+ Acetyl-Histone H4 (Lys8) - 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+ Acetyl-Histone H4 (Lys8) set includes the Acetyl-Histone H4 (Lys8) antibody, a negative control rabbit serum, and qPCR primers which amplify a 134 bp region of human HSPCA. The Acetyl-Histone H4 (Lys8) and negative controls are supplied in a scalable "per ChIP" reaction size and can be used to functionally validate the precipitation of Acetyl-Histone H4 (Lys8)-associated chromatin.
Alternate Names
  • H4K8Ac
  • Histone H4 (acetyl K8)
Background InformationHistone H4 is one of the 5 main histone proteins involved in the structure of chromatin in eukaryotic cells. Featuring a main globular domain and a long N terminal tail H4 is involved with the structure of the nucleosomes of the 'beads on a string' structure.

The N-terminal tail of histone H4 protrudes from the globular nucleosome core and can undergo several different types of epigenetic modifications that influence cellular processes. These modifications include the covalent attachment of methyl or acetyl groups to lysine and arginine amino acids and the phosphorylation of serine or threonine.

Applications
ApplicationThe ChIPAb+ Acetyl-Histone H4 (Lys8) set includes the Acetyl-Histone H4 (Lys8) antibody, a negative control rabbit serum & qPCR primers which amplify a 134 bp region of human HSPCA.
Key Applications
  • Western Blotting
  • Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP)
Application NotesChromatin Immunoprecipitation:
Sonicated chromatin prepared from HeLa cells (1 X 106 cell equivalents per IP) were subjected to chromatin immunoprecipitation using either 2 µL of Normal Rabbit Serum or 2 µL of Anti-Acetyl-Histone H4 (Lys8) and the Magna ChIP™ A Kit (Cat. # 17-610).
Successful immunoprecipitation of Acetyl-Histone H4 (Lys8) associated DNA fragments was verified by qPCR using ChIP Primers, human HSPCA for a positive, and known Negative Primers (Martinato, F., et al., 2008) as a negative assay (Please see figures).
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.

Western Blot Analysis:
Representative lot data.
Sodium Butyrate-treated HeLa acid extract was resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to PVDF membrane and probed with Anti-Acetyl Histone H4 (Lys8) (1:1000 dilution). To demonstrate specificity, serum was preincubated with modified Histone H4 peptides:
Lane 1: No peptide
Lane 2: acetyl-Histone H4 (K5) (Cat.#:12-343)
Lane 3: acetyl-Histone H4 (K8) (Cat.#:12-344)
Lane 4: acetyl-Histone H4 (K12) (Cat.#:12-345)
Lane 5: acetyl-Histone H4 (K16) (Cat.#:12-346)
Lane 6: acetyl-Histone H4 (K5, 8, 12, 16) (Cat.#:12-353)
Lane 7: Histone H4 (Cat.#:12-347)
Proteins were visualized using a donkey anti-rabbit IgG conjugated to HRP and visualized using a chemiluminescence detection system (Please see figures).

Immunoprecipitation: 5 μL of a previous lot immunoprecipitated acetyl Histone H4 from 1 mg of wild type whole cell yeast lysates but not from a yeast strain containing a Histone H4 Lys8R substitution.

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.

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: P62805 # 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.
SIZE: 103 amino acids; 11367 Da
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: Symmetric dimethylation on Arg-4 by the PRDM1/PRMT5 complex may play a crucial role in the germ-cell lineage (By similarity). & 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.
SIMILARITY: SwissProt: P62805 ## Belongs to the histone H4 family.
