Western blot was performed on whole cell (25 μg, lane 1) and histone extracts (15 μg, lane 2) from HeLa cells, and on 1 μg of recombinant histone H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 (lane 3, 4, 5 and 6, respectively) using H3K9un (7D7) Monoclonal Antibody (bsm-53024M). The antibody was diluted 1:1,000 in TBS-Tween containing 5% skimmed milk. The position of the protein of interest is indicated on the right; the marker (in kDa) is shown on the left.
HeLa cells were stained with H3K9un (7D7) Monoclonal Antibody (bsm-53024M) and with DAPI. Cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde for 10’ and blocked with PBS/TX-100 containing 5% normal goat serum and 1% BSA. The cells were immunofluorescently labelled with the H3K9un antibody (left) diluted 1:500 in blocking solution followed by an anti-mouse antibody conjugated to Alexa594. The middle panel shows staining of the nuclei with DAPI. A merge of the two stainings is shown on the right.
ChIP assays were performed using HeLa cells, H3K9un (7D7) Monoclonal Antibody (bsm-53024M) and optimized PCR primer sets for qPCR. ChIP was performed on sheared chromatin from 1 million cells, using the SX-8G IP-Star automated system. A titration of the antibody consisting of 1, 2, 5, and 10 μg per ChIP experiment was analysed. IgG (2 μg/IP) was used as negative IP control. QPCR was performed with primers for the coding regions of the MYOD1 and MB genes and for a region 1 kb upstream of the GAPDH promoter, used as positive controls, and for the ZNF510 coding region, the EIF4A2 promoter and the Sat2 satellite repeat region, used as negative controls. Figure shows the recovery, expressed as a % of input (the relative amount of immunoprecipitated DNA compared to input DNA after qPCR analysis).
