Relevance 

Histones are basic nuclear proteins that, together with DNA, make up the nucleosome structure in eukaryotes. Nucleosomes consist of approximately 146 bp of DNA wrapped around a histone octamer, which is composed of pairs of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4). The chromatin structure is further compacted through the interaction of a linker histone H1.

Methylation of specific residues in the histone tails is a central modification for regulating epigenetic transitions in chromatin. Modified lysine residues can exist in a mono-, di-, or tri-methylated state, whilst arginine residues can be mono- or di-methylated.

In immunofluorescence, a distinct property of tri methyl lysine 4 is its apparent 'ringing' of regions that appear as nucleoplasmic 'holes'. These represent the positions of splicing factor compartments, which often are easy to identify using only DNA stains in Indian muntjac fibroblasts. These splicing factor compartments are known to be preferentially associated with active genes and highly acetylated histone H3. The antibody, as expected, fails to stain heterochromatin (work by Kirk McManus, lab of Michael Hendzel).

The immunofluorescence results suggest this antibody is an exceptional euchromatin probe.

Chromatin was prepared from U2OS cells according to the Abcam X-ChIP protocol. Cells were fixed with formaldehyde for 10 min. The  ChIP was performed with 25 µg of chromatin, 2 µg of  ab8580 (blue), and 20 µl of Protein A/G sepharose beads. No antibody was added to the beads control (yellow). The immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified by real time PCR (Taqman approach). Primers and probes are located in the first kb of the transcribed region.
