      Entrez Gene Number
      Entrez Gene SummaryHistones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. Nucleosomes consist of approximately 146 bp of DNA wrapped around a histone 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 H3 family. Transcripts from this gene lack polyA tails; instead, they contain a palindromic termination element. This gene is located separately from the other H3 genes that are in the histone gene cluster on chromosome 6p22-p21.3.

      UniProt Number
      UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: Q16695 # 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: 136 amino acids; 15508 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.
      TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in testicular cells.
      DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Expressed during S phase, then expression strongly decreases as cell division slows down during the process of differentiation.
      PTM: Acetylation is generally linked to gene activation. Acetylation on Lys-10 impairs methylation at Arg-9. Acetylation on Lys-19 and Lys-24 favors methylation at Arg-18 (By similarity). & Citrullination at Arg-9 and/or Arg-18 by PADI4 impairs methylation and represses transcription (By similarity). & Asymmetric dimethylation at Arg-18 by CARM1 is linked to gene activation. Symmetric dimethylation at Arg-9 by PRMT5 is linked to gene repression (By similarity). & Methylation at Lys-5, Lys-37 and Lys-80 are linked to gene activation. Methylation at Lys-5 facilitates subsequent acetylation of H3 and H4. Methylation at Lys-80 is associated with DNA double-strand break (DSB) responses and is a specific target for TP53BP1. Methylation at Lys-10 and Lys-28 are linked to gene repression. Methylation at Lys-10 is a specific target for HP1 proteins (CBX1, CBX3 and CBX5) and prevents subsequent phosphorylation at Ser-11 and acetylation of H3 and H4. Methylation at Lys-5 and Lys-80 require preliminary monoubiquitination of H2B at 'Lys-120'. Methylation at Lys-10 and Lys-28 are enriched in inactive X chromosome chromatin (By similarity). & Phosphorylated at Thr-4 by GSG2/haspin during prophase and dephosphorylated during anaphase. At centromeres, specifically phosphorylated at Thr-12 from prophase to early anaphase. Phosphorylated at Ser-11 during the whole mitosis. Phosphorylation at Ser-11, which is linked to gene activation, prevents methylation at Lys-10 but facilitates acetylation of H3 and H4. Phosphorylated at Ser-29 by MLTK isoform 1, RPS6KA5 or AURKB during mitosis or upon ultraviolet B irradiation (By similarity). & Phosphorylation at 'Ser-11' is crucial for chromosome condensation and cell-cycle progression during mitosis and meiosis. In addition phosphorylation at 'Ser-11' is important during interphase because it enables the transcription of genes following external stimulation, like stress or growth factors. Phosphorylation at 'Ser-11' is also an essential regulatory mechanism for neoplastic cell transformation. Phosphorylation at 'Ser-11' by AURKB/Aurora-B mediates the dissociation of HP1 proteins (CBX1, CBX3 and CBX5) from heterochromatin. & Ubiquitinated (By similarity).
      SIMILARITY: SwissProt: Q16695 ## Belongs to the histone H3 family.

      FAQ

      QuestionAnswer
      How should I resuspend my pellet prior to PCR?You should resuspend your pellet in water and not TE as the EDTA found in the TE may interfere with PCR.
      Is there ever a time when I do not need to cross-link Histones?In native ChIP, Histone H3 and Histone H4 do not need to be crosslinked as they are very tightly associated. Histone H2A and Histone H2B are not as tightly associated, but will still work in native ChIP.
      What were your conditions for PCR?Please see the manual for The EZ ChIP Kit (Catalog #17-371) for more information.
      If I wanted to quantitate my immunoprecipitated DNA, how would I do so?DNA purified from ChIP experiments can be quantitated by PCR, providing the amplifying oligos meet specific criteria. Oligos should be 24 mers, with a GC content of 50% (+/- 4) and a Tm of 60.0C (+/- 2.0). You must be certain that the PCR reactions are within the linear range of amplification. Generally it takes time to achieve this. Too much input DNA will affect your results, so set up several tubes for each experiment to optimize the input DNA. Generally, this is about 1/25th to 1/100th for yeast, approximately 1/10 for mammalian cells, but depends on the amount of antibody and input chromatin.

      Also, do not use more than 20 cycles, making sure that dNTP's always remain in excess. Also, include each reaction a control primer (to compare your experimental band against-make sure the sizes are sufficiently different to allow proper separation-75 base pairs is usually OK) set to a region of the genome that should not change throughout your experimental conditions. Also PCR from purified input DNA (no ChIP) and include no antibody control PCR's as well. PCR products should be no more than 500 base pairs and should span the area of interest (where you think you will see changes in acetylation or methylation of histones). All PCR products should be run on 7-8% acrylamide gels and stained with SYBR Green 1 (Molecular Probes) at a dilution of 1:10,000 (in 1X Tris-borate-EDTA buffer, pH 7.5) for 30 minutes-no destaining is required.

      Quantitation is carried out subsequent to scanning of the gel on a Molecular Dynamics Storm 840 or 860 in Blue fluorescence mode with PMT voltage at 900 with ImageQuant software. This has distinct advantages over ethidium bromide staining. SYBR Green is much more sensitive, and illumination of ethidium stained gels can vary across the gel based on the quality of UV bulbs in your in your light box. For further info, see Strahl-Bolsinger et al. (1997) Genes Dev. 11: 83-93. A radioactive quantitation m
      I am not getting amplification with input DNA. What did I do wrong?Your input DNA sample should be taken just prior to adding the antibody. It is considered the starting material. If you are not seeing amplification with your input DNA, either you have not successfully reversed the cross links or the PCR is not working for reasons other than the kit.
      How would you recommend eluting Antibody-protein-DNA complexes from agarose (or sepharose) in order to perform a Re-ChIP experiment?The complex is removed with the elution buffer that you find in the ChIP assay kit. For a re-CHIP, it might make sense to add protease inhibitors to the IP wash buffers and the elution buffer and the second set of dilution buffers. Make sure everything stays cold so that the proteins aren't degraded during the collection of the first complex or during the second IP.
      Do you have any tips for sonication?Keep cells on ice throughout the procedure - even during sonication. Be sure that you don't sonicate for to long (more than 30 seconds could cause sample overheating and denaturation).
      Why is more DNA is precipitated in my no-antibody control than for my test sample?To eliminate banding in your negative controls you can do several things:

      A) Pre-clear the 2ml diluted cell pellet suspension with 80 microliters of Salmon Sperm DNA/Protein A Agarose-50% Slurry for 30 minutes at 4ºC with agitation. You could try to preclear the lysate longer or with more clearings.

      B) Titrate your input DNA, to see when the bands in the NFA disappear.

      C) Use an alternative lysis procedure: Resuspend cell pellet in 200 microliters of 5mM Pipes pH 8.0, 85mM KCl, 0.5% NP40 containing protease inhibitors. Place on ice for 10 minutes. Pellet by centrifugation (5 minutes at 5000 rpm). Resuspend pellet in 200 microliters of 1% SDS, 10mM EDTA, 50mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.1 containing protease inhibitors. Incubate on ice for 10 minutes.

      D) Block the Salmon Sperm DNA Agarose prior to use in 1-5% BSA and Chip dilution buffer (mix at room temperature for 30 minutes). After incubation, spin the agarose and remove the 1% BSA/ChIP assay buffer supernatant. Wash once in ChIP assay buffer and continue.
      What is 'Input DNA', and why no 'Output DNA'?Input DNA is DNA obtained from chromatin that has been cross-link reversed similar to your samples. It is a control for PCR effectiveness. Output DNA is the DNA from each of your ChIP experiments.
      What types of controls do I need to run in the IP and the PCR portions of the ChIP?ChIP control: use Anti-acetyl H3 primary antibody and PCR for the GAPDH gene promoter. This will ensure that each step of the procedure is working. PCR amplification: Control for PCR amplification using primers designed against a sequence that would not be enriched by your chromatin IP.

      Liner Range PCR controls:
      Ensure that PCR amplification is in the linear range by setting up each reaction at different dilutions of DNA for various amplification cycle numbers, and select the final PCR conditions accordingly. The assays are typically done in duplicate or triplicate. The average fragment size after sonication is ~500 bp (Kondo, et al. Molecular and Cellular Biology, January 2003, p. 206-215, Vol. 23, No. 1)

      Treatment controls:
      1) ChIP analysis of a transcribed region of the gene of interest which is >40 kb away from the promoter you are looking at. This may reveal that the activation level (e.g., acetylation level) may be very low or more importantly, not affected by your treatment.
      2) Control for specificity of an induced local Histone hyperacetylation, you could analyze the acetylation level of another promoter (Sachs, et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 97:2000, 13138-13143).

      No primary antibody control:
      This is the control in which you run the ChIP assay but don't add the primary immunoprecipitating antibody. It will ensure that you are not seeing sequences that bind non-specifically to the beads and that the recognition of your protein by the antibody you are using is required for enrichment of the target sequence

      Negative antibody control:
      A normal serum, normal IgG, or an antibody to a distant protein (all from the same species) is a good negative antibody control. The best control if using a polyclonal antibody is pre-immune antiserum of the animal that has been immunized.
