CAY10669 is an inhibitor of the histone acetyltransferase PCAF (p300/CREB-binding protein-associated factor; IC50 = 662 μM), displaying a 2-fold improvement in inhibitory potency over anacardic acid . At 30-60 μM, CAY10669 can dose-dependently inhibit histone H4 acetylation in HepG2 cells in vitro.
Trichostatin C is a glycosylated derivative of trichostatin A , the antifungal antibiotic that reversibly inhibits histone deacetylase. Trichostatin C is reported to be the first example of a glucopyranosyl hydroxamate identified in nature. It has been shown to induce the differentiation of a mouse erythroleukemia cell line and to increase histone H4 acetylation in B cells, though at higher concentrations than trichostatin A.
Histone H3 (21-44)-GK-biotin is a peptide fragment of histone H3 that corresponds to amino acid residues 22-45 of the human histone H3.1 and 3.2 sequences and is biotinylated via a C-terminal GK linker. Histone H3 (21-44) contains a lysine residue at position 23 that is subject to acetylation, an arginine at position 26 subject to methylation, and a serine at position 28 subject to phosphorylation, as well as lysine residues at positions 27 and 36 that are subject to methylation and acetylation. Histone H3 (21-44)-GK-biotin has been used as a substrate for the primate-specific histone methyltransferase PR domain-containing protein 7 (PRDM7) to determine substrate specificity.
Histone H2B (108-125) is a peptide fragment of histone H2B that corresponds to amino acid residues 109-126 of the human histone H2B sequence. It contains an N-terminal biotinylated lysine followed by a tryptophan linker. Histone H2B can be modified by addition of an O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) moiety to the serine residue at position 112, which promotes monoubiquitination of the lysine at position 120.1 Both of these modifications are associated with active transcription. Histone H2B also has lysine residues at positions 108, 116, and 120 that are subject to acetylation.2References1. Fujiki, R., Hashiba, W., Sekine, H., et al.

Selective p300 histone acetyltransferase (HAT) inhibitor (IC50 = 50-500 nM). Exhibits approximately 100-fold selectivity for p300 over PCAF (IC50 = 200 μM). Inhibits p300-dependent transcription. Active in vivo.

Histone H3 (21-44)-GK-biotin is a peptide fragment of histone H3 that corresponds to amino acid residues 22-45 of the human histone H3.3 sequence and is biotinylated via a C-terminal GK linker. Unlike histone H3.1 and H3.2, the histone H3.3 variant contains a serine residue at position 31 that is phosphorylated during late prometaphase and metaphase of mitosis. Histone H3 (21-44) also contains lysine residues at positions 23, 27, and 36 that are subject to methylation and acetylation, all of which have a role in the regulation of gene expression, and a serine residue at position 28 that is subject to phosphorylation during mitosis.
Histone H3 (23-34) is a peptide consisting of amino acid residues 23 to 34 of the histone H3 protein. This peptide specifically includes lysine residues at positions 23 and 27, which can undergo methylation and acetylation modifications.
