“…In addition, the human histone H3 antibody has been successfully used to detect histone H3 of A. pacificum (Liu et al, 2019). Moreover, mass spectrometry on the protein at the position of the H3 antibody was performed and the conserved modification site of H3K4 was found (Zhu et al, 2022). This led to the successful use of the H3K4me3 commercial antibody raised from human H3 for chromatin immunoprecipitation.…”

“…Previous studies have reported various modification types such as histone methylation, acetylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitination (Riaz et al, 2019;Zhu et al, 2022). Among the histone modifications studied previously, H3K4me3 modification was the most conservative site (Marinov and Lynch, 2015), which provided a great advantage for using commercial H3K4me3 antibodies in subsequent studies.…”

BackgroundAlexandrium pacificum is a dinoflagellate species notorious for its rapid growth resulting in large-scale blooms. This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms of A. pacificum under laboratory-simulated rapid growth conditions from the perspective of H3K4me3 modification regulation.Methods and resultsWestern blot was used to detect the modification abundance of H3K4me3 in A. pacificum cultured under different conditions, including high light (HL), high nitrogen (HN), and f/2 medium (control, CT), in the rapid growth exponential phase. The results showed that the modification abundance of H3K4me3 under HL or HN was greater than that under CT. Chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing was used to explore the acting genes of H3K4me3 under different conditions for the first time. Nitrogen metabolism and endocytosis were significantly associated with H3K4me3 regulation under HL. Furthermore, H3K4me3 was also significantly associated with the vitamin metabolism pathway under HN.ConclusionsThese findings demonstrate that H3K4me3 plays a potentially important role in the regulation of the rapid growth of A. pacificum. Such knowledge of a histone modification regulatory network in this dinoflagellate, lays a necessary foundation for future research in related fields.
