Validation Data
Figure 1. H3R8me2(sym) antibody ChIP results
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation using the H3R8me2(sym) antibody. Chromatin from one million formaldehyde cross-linked Hela cells was used with 2 μg of H3R8me2(sym) to IP DNA from fixed Hela cells alongside a no antibody (No Ab) control. DNA was measured by PCR and normalized to total input.

Target Description
Chromatin is the arrangement of DNA and proteins in which chromosomes are formed. Correspondingly, chromatin is formed from nucleosomes, which are comprised of a set of four histone proteins (H2A, H2B, H3, H4) wrapped with DNA. Chromatin is a very dynamic structure in which numerous post-translational modifications work together to activate or repress the availability of DNA to be copied, transcribed, or repaired. These marks decide which DNA will be open and commonly active (euchromatin) or tightly wound to prevent access and activation (heterochromatin). Common histone modifications include methylation of lysine and arginine, acetylation of lysine, phosphorylation of threonine and serine, and sumoylation, biotinylation, and ubiquitylation of lysine. Specifically, methylation of arginine 8 on histone H3 (H3 R8me2s) is associated with transcriptional repression, and modified by PRMT5, but not CARM1.
