Description

The FastScan Acetyl-Histone H3 (Lys9) ELISA Kit is a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that detects endogenous levels of histone H3 when acetylated at Lys9. To perform the assay, sample is incubated with a capture antibody conjugated with a proprietary tag and a second detection antibody linked to HRP, forming a sandwich with acetyl-histone H3 (Lys9) in solution. This entire complex is immobilized to the plate via an anti-tag antibody. The wells are then washed to remove unbound material. TMB is then added. The magnitude of observed signal is proportional to the quantity of acetyl-histone H3 (Lys9).

*Antibodies in this kit are custom formulations specific to kit.

IMPORTANT: This FastScan ELISA Kit requires 4 washes at Step 6 of the protocol.

Specificity/Sensitivity

The FastScan Acetyl-Histone H3 (Lys9) ELISA Kit detects endogenous levels of histone H3 when acetylated at Lys9, as shown in Figure 1. This kit detects proteins from the indicated species, as determined through in-house testing, but may also detect homologous proteins from other species.

Background

The nucleosome, made up of four core histone proteins (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4), is the primary building block of chromatin. Originally thought to function as a static scaffold for DNA packaging, histones have now been shown to be dynamic proteins, undergoing multiple types of post-translational modifications, including acetylation, phosphorylation, methylation, and ubiquitination (1,2). Histone acetylation occurs mainly on the amino-terminal tail domains of histones H2A (Lys5), H2B (Lys5, 12, 15, and 20), H3 (Lys9, 14, 18, 23, 27, 36, and 56), and H4 (Lys5, 8, 12, and 16) and is important for the regulation of histone deposition, transcriptional activation, DNA replication, recombination, and DNA repair (1-3). Hyper-acetylation of the histone tails neutralizes the positive charge of these domains and is believed to weaken histone-DNA and nucleosome-nucleosome interactions, thereby destabilizing chromatin structure and increasing the accessibility of DNA to various DNA-binding proteins (4,5). In addition, acetylation of specific lysine residues creates docking sites for a protein module called the bromodomain, which binds to acetylated lysine residues (6). Many transcription and chromatin regulatory proteins contain bromodomains and may be recruited to gene promoters, in part, through binding of acetylated histone tails. Histone acetylation is mediated by histone acetyltransferases (HATs), such as CBP/p300, GCN5L2, PCAF, and Tip60, which are recruited to genes by DNA-bound protein factors to facilitate transcriptional activation (3). Deacetylation, which is mediated by histone deacetylases (HDAC and sirtuin proteins), reverses the effects of acetylation and generally facilitates transcriptional repression (7,8).

    Figure 1. Treatment of HeLa cells with Trichostatin A (TSA) stimulates acetylation of histone H3 at Lys9, but does not affect the level of total histone H3 protein. The relationship between lysate protein concentration from untreated and TSA-treated HeLa cells and the absorbance at 450 nm using the FastScan Acetyl-Histone H3 (Lys9) ELISA Kit #20847 is shown in the upper figure. The corresponding western blots using acetyl-histone H3 (Lys9) antibody (left panel) and histone H3 antibody (right panel) are shown in the lower figure. HeLa cells were either left untreated or treated with TSA #9950 (1 µM) for 18 hr at 37°C, and then lysed.
