Histone h4

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States, Canada

Histone H4 is a core histone protein found in eukaryotic cell nuclei. It plays a crucial role in the organization and structure of chromatin, which is the complex of DNA and histone proteins that make up the chromosomes. Histone H4 is involved in the formation of the nucleosome, the fundamental unit of chromatin, and it contributes to the regulation of gene expression and other DNA-related processes.

Nuclei Isolation and Protein Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two grams of 2‐week‐old seedlings were collected, and nuclei were isolated according to the ChIP protocol (Gendrel, Lippman, Martienssen, & Colot, 2005) but without the tissue fixation step. The nuclear protein was released by dissolving the nuclei preparation in 300 μl of lysis buffer (50 mM Tris‐HCl, 10 mM EDTA, 1% SDS, and 1× protease inhibitors) and then sonicated. The protein solution was centrifuged at 16,000 g for 10 min at 4°C to remove debris. Proteins were resolved on a 4%–20% Mini‐PROTEAN TGX Precast Protein Gel (Bio‐Rad) by electrophoresis and detected by antibody to GFP (Abcam, ab290; 1:20,000 dilution) and histone H4 (Millipore, 07‐108; 1:20,000 dilution). histone H4 was used as the loading control.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
