Background: Histone Acetyltransferases (HATs) are enzymes that acetylate histone substrates resulting in important regulatory effects on chromatin structure and assembly, and gene transcription. Modifications of these proteins by HATs play an important role in the control of gene expression, and their dysregulation has been linked to cancer, neurodegeneration, and other diseases. MyBioSource's HAT Activity Assay Kit utilizes Acetyl CoA and H4 histone peptide as substrates. In this assay, HAT enzyme catalyzes the transfer of acetyl groups from Acetyl-CoA to the histone peptide, thereby generating two products - acetylated peptide and CoA-SH. The CoA-SH reacts with the developer and PicoProbeTM to generate a product that is detected fluorometrically at Ex/Em = 535/587 nm. The assay can detect HAT activity equivalent to as low as 1.5 uU of p300 in a variety of samples.
Summary: Detection method- Fluorescence (Ex/Em = 535/587 nm)
Applications- Measurement of HAT activity of immunoprecipitated samples - Measurement of HAT activity of purified enzyme preparations - Measurement of HAT activity in Nuclear Extracts.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. Two molecules of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) form an octamer, around which approximately 146 bp of DNA is wrapped in repeating units, called nucleosomes. The linker histone, H1, interacts with linker DNA between nucleosomes and functions in the compaction of chromatin into higher order structures. This gene is intronless and encodes a member of the histone H4 family. Transcripts from this gene lack polyA tails but instead contain a palindromic termination element. This gene is found in the small histone gene cluster on chromosome 6p22-p21.3. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Product Notes
The HAT (H4) hist1h4a (Catalog #AAA841687) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. Measurement of HAT activity of immunoprecipitated samples Measurement of HAT activity of purified enzyme preparations Measurement of HAT activity in Nuclear Extracts. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the HAT (H4) hist1h4a for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "HAT (H4), Assay Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
