Excellgen/E. coli Endonuclease VIII/EG-1007/1,000 Units
| Description | Endonuclease VIII from E. coli acts as both an N-glycosylase and an AP-lyase. The N-glycosylase activity releases damaged pyrimidines from double-stranded DNA, generating an apurinic (AP site). The AP-lyase activity cleaves 3´ and 5´ to the AP site leaving a 5´ phosphate and a 3´ phosphate. Damaged bases recognized and removed by Endonuclease VIII include urea, 5, 6- dihydroxythymine, thymine glycol, 5-hydroxy-5- methylhydanton, uracil glycol, 6-hydroxy-5, 6-dihydrothymine and methyltartronylurea (1,2). While Endonuclease VIII is similar to Endonuclease III, Endonuclease VIII has β and δ lyase activity while Endonuclease III has β lyase activity. |
| Applications | - Single cell gel electrophoresis (Comet assay) (3,4,5)
- Alkaline elution (6)
- Alkaline unwinding (7)
|
| Source | An E. coli strain which carries the cloned Endonuclease VIII nei gene |
| Unit Definition | One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to cleave 1 pmol of a 34 mer oligonucleotide duplex containing a single AP site* in a total reaction volume of 10 µl in 1 hour at 37°C in 1X Endonuclease VIII Reaction Buffer containing 10 pmol of fluorescently labeled oligonucleotide duplex. *An AP site is created by treating 10 pmol of a 34 mer oligonucleotide duplex containing a single uracil residue with 1 unit of Uracil-DNA Glycosylase (UDG) for 2 minutes at 37°C. |
| Components | - Endonuclease VIII: 10,000 U/ml in 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0 @ 25°C, 250 mM NaCl, 0.1 mM EDTA, 50% glycerol
- 10X Reaction Buffer: 100 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0 @ 25°C, 750 mM NaCl, 10 mM EDTA
|
