Description

Role of HIST1H2BC and Kbhb Modification

HIST1H2BC is a core histone H2B variant involved in nucleosome assembly, DNA repair, and transcriptional regulation . β-hydroxybutyrylation (Kbhb) is a histone modification induced by β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), a ketone body produced during fasting or ketogenic states . Kbhb modulates chromatin structure and gene expression, influencing:

  • Metabolic Regulation: BHB levels directly correlate with histone Kbhb, linking cellular metabolism to epigenetic states .

  • Disease Pathways: Altered Kbhb levels are implicated in cancer, sarcopenia, and metabolic disorders .

Key Research Applications

  • Investigating epigenetic changes in cancer and aging .

  • Studying mitochondrial dysfunction and muscle atrophy (sarcopenia) .

  • Validating specificity of Kbhb antibodies in cell models (e.g., HEK293, C2C12 myotubes) .

Key Experimental Data

Study ModelFindingsCitation
HEK293 CellsBHB treatment increased H3K9bhb and H4K8bhb, but HIST1H2BC-K11bhb showed distinct regulation .
C2C12 Myotubesβ-hydroxybutyrate (1 mM) reversed TNF-α-induced sarcopenia by enhancing mitochondrial function via Kbhb .
iMEFsNon-specific recognition observed with some Kbhb antibodies under butyrate or TSA treatment .

Limitations and Considerations

  • Cross-Reactivity Risks: Antibodies targeting Kbhb may recognize other acylation modifications (e.g., butyrylation) in certain conditions .

  • Species Restriction: Limited to human samples, requiring validation for cross-species studies .

Target Background

Function
This antibody targets β-hydroxybutyryl-HIST1H2BC (K11), a core component of nucleosomes. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to cellular machinery that utilizes DNA as a template. Consequently, histones play a crucial role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication, and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated through a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, often referred to as the histone code, and nucleosome remodeling. Additionally, β-hydroxybutyryl-HIST1H2BC (K11) exhibits broad antibacterial activity. It may contribute to the formation of the functional antimicrobial barrier of the colonic epithelium and the bactericidal activity of amniotic fluid.
