Description

Clarification of Terminology

HIST1H3A (Histone Cluster 1 H3a) is a core histone involved in chromatin structure. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) at specific residues regulate its function:

  • Phosphorylation at Ser28 (H3S28ph): Linked to mitotic chromosome condensation and transcriptional regulation .

  • Acetylation at Lys27 (H3K27ac): Associated with active enhancers and gene activation .

No validated antibodies target "acetylated Ser28" due to biochemical incompatibility. Available reagents focus on H3S28 phosphorylation or H3K27 acetylation.

Functional Interplay Between H3S28ph and H3K27ac

Studies reveal crosstalk between these PTMs:

  1. H3S28ph displaces Polycomb Repressive Complex (PRC) proteins, reducing H3K27me3 (trimethylation) and enabling transcriptional activation .

  2. H3K27ac/S28ph di-modification enriches at reactivated promoters (e.g., α-globin), antagonizing polycomb silencing .

Target Background

Function
Histone H3A is a core component of the nucleosome, a fundamental unit of chromatin. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA, limiting its accessibility to cellular machinery that requires DNA as a template. This role makes histones central to the regulation of transcription, DNA repair, DNA replication, and chromosomal stability. The accessibility of DNA is regulated through a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, known as the histone code, and nucleosome remodeling.
