Enzo Life Sciences FLUOR DE LYS H4-AcK16 deacetylase substrate (0.5µmol)

Supplier: Enzo Life Sciences BMLKI1740005

The deacetylated state of lysine-16 of histone H4 (H4-K16) is thought to be a critical factor in determining regions of chromatin silencing. Conversely, acetylation of lysine-16 can be associated with increased transcription, such as that due to dosage compensation from the X-chromosome of male Drosophila. The acetylated H4 lysine-16 is preferentially deacetylated by yeast Sir2 in vitro and in vivo. FLUOR DE LYS-H4-AcK16 is a fluorogenic, acetylated peptide substrate suitable for various lysine deacetylases, including the HDAC activities in HeLa nuclear extract, HDAC8, SIRT1 (human Sirtuin 1) and SIRT2 (human Sirtuin 2). It is based on residues from histone H4 (12-16, Lys-Gly-Gly-Ala-Lys(Ac)) and was the preferred substrate for both SIRT1 and SIRT2 within a group patterned on acetylation sites in histone H3 and histone H4 N-terminal tails. Purity: ≥95%. Formulation: Supplied as a 5 mM solution (100 µl) in HDAC Assay Buffer.
