A direct link exists between hyperacetylation of chromatin and transcriptional activation.
Experiments have established that PCAF possesses intrinsic histone acetylase activity.
PCAF primarily acetylates lysine 14 of H3.
It acetylates lysine 8 of H4 less efficiently.
PCAF also acetylates p53 in response to DNA damage.
The distinct patterns of acetylation by PCAF may contribute to transcriptional regulation of important genes.
Applications:Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunoprecipitation.
Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilutions:Western Blot: 1:500; determined using whole extracts of human epidermoid carcinoma A431, canine MDCK kidney cells or recombinant active human PCAF, and a chemiluminescent detection reagent.
Predicted molecular weight: ~88kD.
In some extract preparations, additional band(s) may appear.
Staining of PCAF band(s) by immunoblotting is inhibited by the PCAF immunizing peptide
Immunoprecipitation: 5-10ug immunoprecipitates PCAF from RIPA lysate with ~4x10e7 human acute T cell leukemia Jurkat cells
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Add 2.5ul of 2-mercaptoethanol/100ul of lysate and boil for 5 minutes to reduce the preparation.
Load 20ug of reduced lysate per lane for minigels.
