Histone Peptides Building Blocks
AnaSpec,
one of the world’s largest providers of unusual amino acids, offers acetylated,
mono-methylated,
di-methylated
and tri-methylated
Lysine for the synthesis of histone peptides. The use of these building blocks,
although not limited to making synthetic histone peptides, provides additional
tools for researchers to help unravel the “histone code.”5
The
lysine-rich amino terminal tail of the core histones undergo posttranslational
modifications such as acetylation and methylation.1-2 Addition of
acetyl group or 1 to 3 methyl groups occur at position specific lysines.3-4
These modifications, as well as phosphorylation of serine residues and others,
serve to differentially regulate chromatin activity.5
