Research Abstract

To understand the structure and dynamics of specialized chromatin harboring distinct histone modifications, we employed chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometry analysis and live cell imaging by using modification-specific monoclonal antibodies. Using affinity beads coated with different antibodies, distinct sets of proteins were identified as components of chromatin enriched in specific modifications. A method for visualizing specific histone modifications in living cells was also developed.
