Evolution of a histone H4-K16 acetyl-specific DNA aptamer.
We report the in vitro selection of DNA aptamers that bind to histone H4 proteins acetylated at lysine 16. The best aptamer identified in this selection binds to the target protein with a K(d) of 21 nM and discriminates against both the nonacetylated protein and histone H4 proteins acetylated at lysine 8. Comparative binding assays performed with a chip-quality antibody reveal that this aptamer...
متن کاملGenome-wide H4 K16 acetylation by SAS-I is deposited independently of transcription and histone exchange
The MYST HAT Sas2 is part of the SAS-I complex that acetylates histone H4 lysine 16 (H4 K16Ac) and blocks the propagation of heterochromatin at the telomeres of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this study, we investigated Sas2-mediated H4 K16Ac on a genome-wide scale. Interestingly, H4 K16Ac loss in sas2Δ cells outside of the telomeric regions showed a distinctive pattern in that there was a pronou...
متن کاملPoly-acetylated chromatin signatures are preferred epitopes for site-specific histone H4 acetyl antibodies
Antibodies specific for histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) have been central to our understanding of chromatin biology. Here, we describe an unexpected and novel property of histone H4 site-specific acetyl antibodies in that they prefer poly-acetylated histone substrates. By all current criteria, these antibodies have passed specificity standards. However, we find these site-specif...
متن کاملAn artificial receptor synthesized by surface-confined imprinting for the recognition of acetylation on histone H4 K16.
A novel artificial receptor has been synthesized using surface-confined imprinting for the recognition of lysine acetylation in histone H4. The material has high recognition fidelity and epitope affinity. It was demonstrated that acetylated Lys plays a role in binding site creation and peptide imprinting can be performed in phosphate buffer.
متن کاملSIR2 modifies histone H4-K16 acetylation and affects superhelicity in the ARS region of plasmid chromatin in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
The null mutation of the SIR2 gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been associated with a series of different phenotypes including loss of transcriptional silencing, genome instability and replicative aging. Thus, the SIR2 gene product is an important constituent of the yeast cell. SIR2 orthologues and paralogues have been discovered in organisms ranging from bacteria to man, underscoring the p...
