Histone Octamer, Biotin-labeled, His-tag | 52061 | Gentaur US, UK & Europe Disrtribition

Category: Methyltransferase/Substrates

Application: Substrate for histone methyltransferase or acetyltransferase assays. Ideal for screening small molecular inhibitors of histone methyltransferases and acetyltransferases for drug discovery and HTS applications.

Background: The histone octamer is composed of a central heterotetramer of two copies of both histones H3 and H4, flanked by two heterodimers of histones H2A and H2B. The octamer assembles when the H3/H4 tetramer complexes with two H2A/H2B dimers. These histones of the histone octamer all contain N-terminal tails that emanate from their central histone folds and are targets for epigenetic modification.

Description: Human recombinant histone octamer consisting of 2 molecules each of N-terminal His-tagged histones H2A (a.a. 2-130(end)), H2B (a.a. 2-126(end)), H3 (a.a. 2-137(end)), and H4 (a.a. 2-103(end)), expressed in an E. coli expression system. GenBank Accession Nos. are NM_033445, NM_003528, NM_003532, and NM_003548, respectively. H2B has been biotin-labeled via thiol modification of an additional C-terminal cysteine prior to assembly. Global MW = 117 kDa.
