Source:
A E. coli strain that carries the HaeIII gene from Haemophilus aegypticus (ATCC 11116).

Reagents Supplied:
NEBuffer 4 (10X)


Enzyme Properties


Activity in NEBuffers:

Notes


General notes:
  1. GGCm5C is cleaved, but GGm5CC is resistant to cleavage.

FAQs


  1. The NEB catalog has historically stated that activity in NEBuffer4 is less than 100% yet this enzyme is now supplied with NEBuffer4. What have you changed?
  2. Has the conversion to NEBuffer4 altered any of the properties of the restriction enzyme?
  3. If I have an old tube of enzyme, what NEBuffer should I use?
  4. Will the new enzyme work in the originally supplied NEBuffer?
  5. Why is NEB switching this restriction enzyme to NEBuffer 4?
  6. Is HaeIII affected by methylation?
  7. Does HaeIII cleave single-stranded DNA?
  8. Is HaeIII used in special techniques?

Quality Control for Current Lot


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

Ligation and Re-cutting:
After a 20-fold overdigestion with HaeIII, > 95% of the DNA fragments can be ligated with T4 DNA Ligase (at a 5' termini concentration of 1-2 μM) at 16ºC. Of these ligated fragments, > 95% can be recut with HaeIII.


16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of DNA and 200 units of HaeIII 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 100 units of HaeIII 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.
