Fig 5. AtRA promotes the acetylation of histone H2B in the TGF-β2 nucleosome.

Fig 5

A. Western blots show the genome-wide acetylation status of histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. Bar-diagram (means ± SE) summarizes densitometric data normalized against β-actin. B. AtRA treatment increases the acetylation of histone H2B (lys5) on the TGF-β2 nucleosome. Bar diagram (means ± SE) shows data from ChIP assay, where the acetylated histones were pulled down and the presence of the TGF-β2 promoter region in the complex confirmed by real-time PCR. Quantification of acetyl-H2B is shown as % input. Inset: Agarose gel showing enrichment of acetyl-H2B in the TGF-β2 promoter. Data represent 3 separate experiments; * p<0.05, *** p<0.001.
