Pack Size: 50 µg

Description

Mononucleosomes assembled from recombinant human histones expressed in E. coli (two each of histones H2A*, H2B, H3 and H4; accession numbers: H2A-P04908*; H2B-O60814; H3.1-P68431; H4-P62805) wrapped by 147 base pairs of 601 positioning sequence DNA [1].

*Histone H2A contains a glutamate-to-lysine (E-to-K) substitution at position 92 (H2AE92K). H2AE92 is among key residues forming a negatively charged region on the nucleosome surface named the “acidic patch”. The acidic patch is a conserved interaction hub for neighboring nucleosomes and nucleosome binding proteins, often via salt bridges with arginine anchors, and is functionally critical in chromatin condensation and chromatin remodeling [2-4]. H2AE92 resides in the H2A C-terminal extension and is associated with nucleosome binding factors such as histone H4 N-terminal tail, LANA, RCC1, IL-33, SIR3, HMGN2, and remodeling ATPases [2-4]. H2AE92K disrupts binding with SMARCB1 [5].

Validation Data

Figure 1: Protein Gel Data
Coomassie stained PAGE gel of proteins in H2AE92K mononucleosomes (1 µg) demonstrates the purity of the histones in the preparation. Sizes of molecular weight markers and positions of the core histones (H2AE92K, H2B, H3.1 and H4) are indicated.

Figure 2: DNA Gel Data
H2AE92K mononucleosomes resolved by native PAGE and stained with ethidium bromide to visualize DNA. Lane 1: Free DNA (100 ng). Lane 2: Intact nucleosomes (400 ng).

Figure 3: Functional Binding Assay
The presence of acidic patch mutations disrupts LANA peptide binding to recombinant nucleosomes (WT rNuc control, EpiCypher 16-0009; H2AE92K, EpiCypher 16-1030; H2BE105A,E113A, EpiCypher 16-1031). The binding of biotinylated LANA peptide to recombinant nucleosomes was assessed by AlphaLISA assay (Perkin Elmer) using Streptavidin Donor Beads, anti-Histone H3.1/3.2 antibody, and Protein A Acceptor Beads.

Technical Information

Formulation
H2AE92K mononucleosomes (27.3 μg protein weight, 50 μg DNA+protein) in 10 mM Tris HCl pH 7.5, 25 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 2 mM DTT, 20% glycerol. MW = 199,240.9 Da.
Storage and Stability
Stable for six (6) months at -80°C from date of receipt. For best results, aliquot and avoid multiple freeze/thaws.

Application Notes

H2AE92K mononucleosomes are highly purified and suitable for a variety of applications to test the effect of acidic patch mutation on enzymatic activity or chromatin binding. See EpiCypher 16-0030 for a biotinylated version of this mutant.
