BackgroundInformation
AcetylationofhistonesincludinghistoneH3hasbeeninvolvedintheregulationofchromatinstructureandrecruitmentoftranscriptionfactorstothegenepromoters.Histoneacetyltransfeases(HAT)andhistonedeacetylases(HDACs)playacriticalroleincontrolofhistoneH3acetylationatmultiplesites.HistoneH3atlysine14(H3-K14),alongwithK9andK18areprimaryacetylatedsitesofhistoneH3.AcetylationofhistoneH3-K14istightlyinvolvedinthecellcyclereguation,cellproliferationandapoptosis.AcetylationofhistoneH3-K14isalsocorrelatedwithtranscriptionactivation.AnimbalanceintheequilibriumofhistoneH3acetylationincludingK14acetylationhasbeenassociatedwithtumOrigenesisandcancerprogression.HistoneH3-K14acetylationmaybeincreasedbyinhibitionofHDACsanddecreasedbyHATinhibition.ThusquantitativedetectionofglobalacetylhistoneH3-K14wouldprovideusefulinformationforbetterunderstandingepigeneticregulationofgeneactivationandfordevelopingHATorHDAC-targeteddrugs.TheEpiQuik™GlobalAcetylHistoneH3-K14QuantificationKit(Fluorometric)providesatoolformeasuringglobalacetylationofhistoneH3-K14.
Principle&Procedure
Thiskit isdesignedformeasuringglobalhistoneH3-K14acetylation.Inanassaywiththiskit,theacetylhistoneH3atlysine14iscapturedtothestripwellscoatedwithananti-acetylH3-K14antibody.ThecapturedacetylhistoneH3-K14canthenbedetectedwithalabeleddetectionantibodyfollowedbyafluorescentdevelopmentreagent.TheratioofacetylH3-K14isproportionaltotheintensityoffluorescence.TheabsoluteamountofacetylH3-K14canbequantifiedbycomparingtothestandardcontrol.
