  • Validation Data

    Pol II Antibody ChIP Grade

    Figure 1. ChIP results obtained with the Diagenode monoclonal antibody directed against Pol II
    ChIP assays were performed using human HeLa cells, the Diagenode monoclonal antibody against Pol II (cat. No. C15100055) and optimized PCR primer pairs for qPCR. ChIP was performed with the “iDeal ChIP-seq” kit (cat. No. C01010051), using sheared chromatin from 1 million cells. A titration consisting of 1, 2, 5 and 10 μl of antibody per ChIP experiment was analyzed. IgG (2 μg/ IP) was used as a negative IP control. Quantitative PCR was performed with primers specific for the promoter of the GAPDH and EIF4A2 genes, used as positive controls, and for the MYOD1 gene and the Sat2 satellite repeat, used as negative controls. Figure 1 shows the recovery, expressed as a % of input (the relative amount of immunoprecipitated DNA compared to input DNA after qPCR analysis).

  • Target Description

    RNA polymerase II (pol II) is a key enzyme in the regulation and control of gene transcription. It is able to unwind the DNA double helix, synthesize RNA, and proofread the result. Pol II is a complex enzyme, consisting of 12 subunits, of which the B1 subunit (UniProt/Swiss-Prot entry P24928) is the largest. Together with the second largest subunit, B1 forms the catalytic core of the RNA polymerase II transcription machinery

    Cotranscriptional demethylation induces global loss of H3K4me2 fromactive genes in Arabidopsis
    Mori S. et al.
    Based on studies of animals and yeasts, methylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me1/2/3, for mono-, di-, and tri-methylation, respectively) is regarded as the key epigenetic modification of transcriptionally active genes. In plants, however, H3K4me2 correlates negatively with transcription, and the regulatory mechan...

    MLL-AF4 and a murinized pSer-variant thereof are turning on thenucleolar stress pathway.
    Siemund Anna Lena and Hanewald Thomas and Kowarz Eric andMarschalek Rolf
    BACKGROUND: Recent pathomolecular studies on the MLL-AF4 fusion protein revealed that the murinized version of MLL-AF4, the MLL-Af4 fusion protein, was able to induce leukemia when expressed in murine or human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (Lin et al. in Cancer Cell 30:737-749, 2016). In parallel, a group from...

    Human centromere formation activates transcription and opens chromatinfibre structure
    Gilbert, Nick and Naughton, Catherine and Huidobro, Covadongaand Catacchio, Claudia and Buckle, Adam and Grimes, Graeme andNozawa, Ryu-Suke and Purgato, Stefania and Rocchi, Mariano
    Human centromeres appear as constrictions on mitotic chromosomes and form a platform for kinetochore assembly in mitosis. Biophysical experiments led to a suggestion that repetitive DNA at centromeric regions form a compact scaffold necessary for function, but this was revised when neocentromeres were discovered on ...

    Conditional depletion of transcriptional kinases Ctk1 and Bur1 andeffects on co-transcriptional spliceosome assembly and pre-mRNA splicing.
    Maudlin Isabella E and Beggs Jean D
    From yeast to humans, pre-mRNA splicing occurs mainly co-transcriptionally, with splicing and transcription functionally coupled such that they influence one another. The recruitment model of co-transcriptional splicing proposes that core members of the transcription elongation machinery have the potential to influe...

    Enhancers in the Peril lincRNA locus regulate distant but not local genes.
    Groff AF, Barutcu AR, Lewandowski JP, Rinn JL
    BACKGROUND: Recently, it has become clear that some promoters function as long-range regulators of gene expression. However, direct and quantitative assessment of enhancer activity at long intergenic noncoding RNA (lincRNA) or mRNA gene bodies has not been performed. To unbiasedly assess the enhancer capacity across...

    Gap junction protein Connexin-43 is a direct transcriptional regulator of N-cadherin in vivo.
    Kotini M, Barriga EH, Leslie J, Gentzel M, Rauschenberger V, Schambony A, Mayor R
    Connexins are the primary components of gap junctions, providing direct links between cells under many physiological processes. Here, we demonstrate that in addition to this canonical role, Connexins act as transcriptional regulators. We show that Connexin 43 (Cx43) controls neural crest cell migration in vivo by di...

    The oncofusion protein FUS-ERG targets key hematopoietic regulators and modulates the all-trans retinoic acid signaling pathway in t(16;21) acute myeloid leukemia.
    Sotoca AM1, Prange KH1, Reijnders B1, Mandoli A1, Nguyen LN1, Stunnenberg HG1, Martens JH
    The ETS transcription factor ERG has been implicated as a major regulator of both normal and aberrant hematopoiesis. In acute myeloid leukemias harboring t(16;21), ERG function is deregulated due to a fusion with FUS/TLS resulting in the expression of a FUS-ERG oncofusion protein. How this oncofusion protein deregul...

    Girardot M, Pecquet C, Chachoua I, Van Hees J, Guibert S, Ferrant A, Knoops L, Baxter EJ, Beer PA, Giraudier S, Moriggl R, Vainchenker W, Green AR, Constantinescu SN
    STAT (Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription) transcription factors are constitutively activated in most hematopoietic cancers. We previously identified a target gene, LPP/miR-28 (LIM domain containing preferred translocation partner in lipoma), induced by constitutive activation of STAT5, but not by trans...

    Principles of nucleation of H3K27 methylation during embryonic development.
    van Heeringen SJ, Akkers RC, van Kruijsbergen I, Arif MA, Hanssen LL, Sharifi N, Veenstra GJ
    During embryonic development, maintenance of cell identity and lineage commitment requires the Polycomb-group PRC2 complex, which catalyzes histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3). However, the developmental origins of this regulation are unknown. Here we show that H3K27me3 enrichment increases from blastula ...
