Esco2 acetylates histone H4 at Lys16 in vitro. (A) Flag purification of Esco2. Esco2 and enzymatically mutant Esco2-W530G were expressed in HEK293 cells and then purified according to the Flag purification procedure. Purified Esco2-Flag and Esco2-W530G-Flag were detected with sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by both coomassie staining and western blotting with anti-Esco2 antibody. (B) Commercially obtained recombinant histone H4 was identified by both coomassie staining and western blotting with anti-H4 antibody. (C) In vitro acetylation assay with Esco2-Flag. Recombinant histone H4 was incubated with or without purified Esco2-Flag and Ac-CoA in the acetyltransferase assay buffer at 30°C for 1 h. The reactions were analyzed by western blotting with anti-histone H4 (acetyl K16) antibody for acetylation levels of H4K16 and anti-histone H4 antibody as a loading control. (D) In vitro acetylation assay with Esco2-W530G-Flag. Recombinant histone H4 was incubated with or without purified Esco2-W530G-Flag and Ac-CoA in the acetyltransferase assay buffer at 30°C for 1 h. The reactions were analyzed by western blotting with anti-histone H4 (acetyl K16) antibody for acetylation levels of H4K16 and anti-histone H4 antibody as a loading control.
