Description
Recognition site and hydrolysis position:
(N)7GAACNNNNNNTAC(N)12 | ↑(N)7GAACNNNNNNTAC(N)12↑ |
(N)12CTTGNNNNNNATG(N)7 | ↓(N)12CTTGNNNNNNATG(N)7↓ |
Source: Pseudomonas stutzeri N2
Unit definition:
One unit of the enzyme is the amount required to hydrolyze 1 μg of T7 DNA in 1 hour at 30°C in a total reaction volume of 50 μl.
Assayed on:
T7 DNA
Optimal SE-buffer: SE-buffer Y
Enzyme activity (%):
B | G | O | W | Y | ROSE |
10 | 10 | 0 | 0 | 100 | 30 |
Storage conditions: 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5); 50 mM KCl; 0,1 mM EDTA; 7 mM 2-mercaptoethanol; 200 μg/ml BSA, 50% glycerol. Store at -20°C.
Ligations:
After 2-fold overdigestion with enzyme more than 70% of DNA fragments can be ligated. Of these 80% 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 T7 DNA with 2 u.a. of enzyme for 16 hours at 30°C.
Reagents Supplied with Enzyme:
Methylation sensitivity: not tested
Notes: High enzyme concentration may result in star activity.
Incubation at 37°C results in 20% activity.
To obtain 100% activity, BSA should be added to the 1 x reaction mix to a final concentration of 100 μg/ml.
Do not use BSA for long incubation.
