Vsp I

Description

Recognition site and hydrolysis position:

Source: An E.coli strain, that carries the cloned gene VspI from Vibrio species 343
Unit definition:
One unit of the enzyme is the amount required to hydrolyze 1 μg of Lambda DNA in 1 hour at 37°C in a total reaction volume of 50 μl.
Assayed on:
Lambda DNA
Optimal SE-buffer: SE-buffer W
Enzyme activity (%):

Storage conditions: 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.6); 50 mM NaCl; 0.1 mM EDTA; 1 mM DTT; 200 μg/ml BSA; 50% glycerol. Store at -20°C.
Ligations:
After 10-fold overdigestion with enzyme 70% of the DNA fragments can be ligated.Of these, 90% can be recut. In the presence of 10% PEG ligation is better.
Non-specific hydrolisis:
No nonspecific activity was detected after incubation of 1 μg of Lambda DNA with 20 u.a. of enzyme for 16 hours at 37°C Reagents Supplied with Enzyme 10 X SE-buffer W
Reagents Supplied with Enzyme:
Methylation sensitivity: Blocked by ATTA^mAT methylation.
