Description

Definition and Target Specificity

The antibody targets the mono-methylation at R128 of Histone H3.1, a core histone variant critical for nucleosome assembly and chromatin structure. Histone H3.1 is distinct from other H3 variants (e.g., H3.3) due to sequence differences and post-translational modifications (PTMs). R128 mono-methylation acts as an epigenetic signal, modulating chromatin accessibility and influencing transcriptional activation or repression depending on the cellular context .

Functional Insights from Histone HBiology

While the antibody itself does not directly study Histone H3.1’s redox properties, related research highlights its broader role:

  • Cys96 Oxidation: H3.1’s unique cysteine at position 96 (Cys96) is oxidized under oxidative stress, triggering its replacement by H3.3 and promoting EMT in cancer cells .

  • Chromatin Remodeling: H3.1 dynamics regulate nucleosome stability and accessibility, influencing gene expression .

Description

The production process of the mono-methyl-histone H3.1 (R128) recombinant monoclonal antibody begins with the cloning of genes that encode the HIST1H3A antibody, encompassing both heavy and light chains. These cloned genes are incorporated into expression vectors, which are then introduced into host cells through transfection. The host cells are then responsible for producing and secreting the antibody. Following purification through affinity chromatography to ensure purity, the antibody undergoes comprehensive functionality testing in ELISA and WB applications, guaranteeing accurate detection of the human and mouse HIST1H3A proteins mono-methylated at R128.

Histone H3.1 mono-methylation at arginine 128 (R128) can promote either transcriptional activation or repression, depending on the specific cellular context and the proteins involved. H3.1 R128 mono-methylation serves as an epigenetic signal, indicating specific chromatin states and influencing essential cellular processes like differentiation, development, and cellular identity.

Target Background

Function

Histone H3.1 is a core component of nucleosomes. Nucleosomes play a crucial role in wrapping and compacting DNA into chromatin, thereby limiting DNA accessibility to cellular machinery that requires DNA as a template. Consequently, histones are central to the regulation of transcription, DNA repair, DNA replication, and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated through a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, collectively known as the histone code, and nucleosome remodeling.
