Posttranslational histone modifications play important roles in regulating chrom

Posttranslational histone modifications play important roles in regulating chromatin structure and function (Martin and Zhang, Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol 6:838–849, 2005; Jenuwein and Allis, Science 293:1074–1080, 2001). One example of such modifications is histone ubiquitination, which occurs predominately on H2A and H2B. Recent studies have highlighted important regulatory roles of H2A ubiquitination in Polycomb group proteins-mediated gene silencing (Wang et al., Nature 431:873–878, 2004; Joo et al., Nature 449:1068–1072, 2007) and H2B ubiquitination in transcription, H3 methylation, and DNA methylation (Zhang, Genes Dev 17:2733–2740, 2003; Sun and Allis, Nature 418:104–108, 2002; Sridhar et al., Nature 447:735–738, 2007). Here we describe methods for in vitro histone ubiquitination and deubiquitination assays. We also describe approaches to investigate the in vivo function of a putative histone ubiquitin ligase and deubiquitinase. These experimental procedures are largely based on our studies in mammalian cells. These methods should provide useful tools for studying this bulky histone modification.
