| Background Information | Histone H3 is one of the five main histone proteins involved in the structure of chromatin in eukaryotic cells. Featuring a main globular domain and a long N-terminal tail, H3 is involved with the structure of the nucleosomes of the beads on a string structure. Histone proteins are highly post-translationally modified, and Histone H3 is the most extensively modified of the five histones. Histone H3 sequence variants and variable modification states are thought to play a role in the dynamic and long term regulation of genes. Di- and tri-methylation of histone H3 are gene silencing marks, while removal of these marks by the demethylase genes Jmjd1a and Jmjd2c leads to gene activation. |

| Application Notes | Chromatin Immunoprecipitation:: Sonicated chromatin prepared from HeLa cells (1 X 106 cell equivalents per IP) were subjected to chromatin immunoprecipitation using 2 µg of either a normal mouse IgG, or Anti-dimethyl Histone H3 (Lys9) antibody, clone CMA307 and the Magna ChIP G (Cat. # 17-611) Kit. Successful immunoprecipitation of dimethyl-histone H3 (Lys9) associated DNA fragments was verified by qPCR using ChIP Primers B-Globin. Please refer to the EZ-Magna G ChIP™ (Cat. # 17-409) or EZ-ChIP™ (Cat. # 17-371) protocol for experimental details. Dot Blot Analysis: Absurance Histone H3 Antibody Specificity Array (Cat.

| Entrez Gene Number |
|
| Entrez Gene Summary | Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. Nucleosomes consist of approximately 146 bp of DNA wrapped around a histone octamer composed of pairs of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4). The chromatin fiber is further compacted through the interaction of a linker histone, H1, with the DNA between the nucleosomes to form higher order chromatin structures. This gene is intronless and encodes a member of the histone H3 family. Transcripts from this gene lack polyA tails; instead, they contain a palindromic termination element. This gene is located separately from the other H3 genes that are in the histone gene cluster on chromosome 6p22-p21.3. [provided by RefSeq] |

| UniProt Summary | FUNCTION: SwissProt: Q16695 # Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling. SIZE: 136 amino acids; 15508 Da SUBUNIT: The nucleosome is a histone octamer containing two molecules each of H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 assembled in one H3-H4 heterotetramer and two H2A-H2B heterodimers. The octamer wraps approximately 147 bp of DNA. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in testicular cells. DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Expressed during S phase, then expression strongly decreases as cell division slows down during the process of differentiation. PTM: Acetylation is generally linked to gene activation. Acetylation on Lys-10 impairs methylation at Arg-9. Acetylation on Lys-19 and Lys-24 favors methylation at Arg-18 (By similarity). & Citrullination at Arg-9 and/or Arg-18 by PADI4 impairs methylation and represses transcription (By similarity). & Asymmetric dimethylation at Arg-18 by CARM1 is linked to gene activation. Symmetric dimethylation at Arg-9 by PRMT5 is linked to gene repression (By similarity). & Methylation at Lys-5, Lys-37 and Lys-80 are linked to gene activation. Methylation at Lys-5 facilitates subsequent acetylation of H3 and H4. Methylation at Lys-80 is associated with DNA double-strand break (DSB) responses and is a specific target for TP53BP1. Methylation at Lys-10 and Lys-28 are linked to gene repression. Methylation at Lys-10 is a specific target for HP1 proteins (CBX1, CBX3 and CBX5) and prevents subsequent phosphorylation at Ser-11 and acetylation of H3 and H4. Methylation at Lys-5 and Lys-80 require preliminary monoubiquitination of H2B at Lys-120. Methylation at Lys-10 and Lys-28 are enriched in inactive X chromosome chromatin (By similarity). & Phosphorylated at Thr-4 by GSG2/haspin during prophase and dephosphorylated during anaphase. At centromeres, specifically phosphorylated at Thr-12 from prophase to early anaphase. Phosphorylated at Ser-11 during the whole mitosis. Phosphorylation at Ser-11, which is linked to gene activation, prevents methylation at Lys-10 but facilitates acetylation of H3 and H4. Phosphorylated at Ser-29 by MLTK isoform 1, RPS6KA5 or AURKB during mitosis or upon ultraviolet B irradiation (By similarity). & Phosphorylation at Ser-11 is crucial for chromosome condensation and cell-cycle progression during mitosis and meiosis. In addition phosphorylation at Ser-11 is important during interphase because it enables the transcription of genes following external stimulation, like stress or growth factors. Phosphorylation at Ser-11 is also an essential regulatory mechanism for neoplastic cell transformation. Phosphorylation at Ser-11 by AURKB/Aurora-B mediates the dissociation of HP1 proteins (CBX1, CBX3 and CBX5) from heterochromatin. & Ubiquitinated (By similarity). SIMILARITY: SwissProt: Q16695 ## Belongs to the histone H3 family. |
