    A Beacono TrustOur new Bethyl Laboratories Seal certifesthat our antibodies are 100% manuacturedand qualifed to the highest standards atour sole acility in Texas.

    Pre-qualifedAntibodies or PLA

    The Proximity Ligation Assay (PLA), which usesantibodies conjugated to oligonucleotides,allows visualization o proteins or protein

    interactions in cells or tissues. The assay is veryrobust, but is reliant on the availability o highquality antibodies. Bethyl is working to qualiyour antibodies or PLA, with new pairs releasedevery month. Shown below are examples othe results you can obtain when choosing touse our antibodies or perorming PLA incell-based assays.

    Methylation andMemory FormationContributed byDavid L. Molese, Ph.D.The methylation o DNA and histones is a dynamicprocess catalyzed by a amily o enzymes calledDNA methyltranserases (DNMTs). In vertebrates,60-90% o cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) DNAsites are methylated (1), indicating the importance othis mechanism to the cell. DNA methylation playsa major role in the regulation o gene expression bysilencing genes through conversion o cytosine to5-methylcytosine (2, 3). This conversion intereres withRNA polymerase initiation (4).

    The methylation o DNA and histone proteins hasbeen implicated in learning and memory, addiction,and depression. For example, in the hippocampus, DNA methylation is dynamically regulatedduring contextual ear conditioning in rats and mice, where blocking DNA methyltranserases(DNMTs) inhibits memory ormation (5). Additionally, DNA methylation plays a role in synapticplasticity. In feld electrophysiology experiments, blocking DNMTs with Zebularine or 5-aza-2-deoxycytidine impairs induction o long-term potentiation at Schaer collateral synapses (6).
