  • Isolated from a recombinant source
  • Supplied with 10X Reaction Buffer
Description:
hOGG1 (α isoform) is an 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase which acts both as a N-glycosylase and an AP-lyase. The N-glycosylase activity releases damaged purines from double stranded DNA, generating an apurinic (AP) site. The AP-lyase activity cleaves 3´ to the AP site leaving a 5´ phosphate and a 3´-phospho-α, β-unsaturated aldehyde.

Some of the damaged bases recognized and removed by hOGG1 include 7, 8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoguanine) when base paired with cytosine, 8-oxoadenine when base paired with cytosine, foramidopyrimidine (fapy)-guanine and methy-fapy-guanine (1,2).

Source:
An E. coli strain that carries the cloned human ogg1 gene (3).

Applications:
  • Single cell gel electrophoresis (Comet assay) (4,5,6)
  • Alkaline elution (7)
  • Alkaline unwinding (8)

Quality Control for Current Lot


Quality control values for a specific lot can be found on the datacard which accompanies each product.

16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of λDNA (HindIII digest) and 16 units of hOGG1 incubated for 16 hours at 37ºC resulted in a DNA pattern free of detectable nuclease degradation as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.

Exonuclease Activity:
Incubation of a 50 μl reaction containing 8 units of hOGG1 with 1 μg of a mixture of single and double-stranded [3H] E. coli DNA (205 cpm/μg) for 4 hours at 37ºC released < 0.1% of the total radioactivity.

Endonuclease Activity:
Incubation of a 50 μl reaction containing 8 units of hOGG1 with 1 μg of ΦX174 RF I DNA for 4 hours at 37ºC resulted in < 5% conversion to RFII as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
