Enzyme Properties


Activity in NEBuffers:
NEBuffer 1:25%
NEBuffer 2:25%
NEBuffer 3:25%

When using a buffer other than the optimal (supplied) NEBuffer, it may be necessary to add more enzyme to achieve complete digestion.

Methylation Sensitivity:
dam methylation: Not sensitive
dcm methylation: Not sensitive
CpG methylation: Not sensitive

Heat Inactivation:
65°C for 20 minutes

Survival in a Reaction:
Minimum units to digest 1 µg of substrate DNA in 16 hours: 0.50 unit(s)


Reaction & Storage Conditions


Reaction Conditions:
1X NEBuffer 4
Supplemented with 100 μg/ml Bovine Serum Albumin
Incubate at 37°C.

1X NEBuffer 4:

Concentration:
10,000 units/ml

Unit Assay Substrate:
ΦX174 DNA

Storage Conditions:
10 mM Tris-HCl
200 mM KCl
1 mM Dithiothreitol
0.1 mM EDTA
500 µg/ml BSA

Notes


General notes:
  1. Cleaves to leave a 3´ CATG extension which can be ligated to DNA fragments generated by SphI.
  2. The half life of NlaIII is 6 months at -70°C.
Usage notes:
  1. NaCI and KCI inhibit activity, (NH4)2 SO4 does not.

FAQs


  1. Is NlaIII inhibited by salt?
  2. Are storage conditions for NlaIII other than -20°C recommended?
  3. Is activity loss in NlaIII seen in 6 months or less?
  4. Does NlaIII produce commonly used compatible ends?
  5. Is extended digestion of NlaIII recommended?

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 15-fold overdigestion with NlaIII, > 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 NlaIII.


16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of DNA and 75 units of NlaIII 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 200 units of NlaIII with 1 μg of a mixture of single and double-stranded [3H] E. coli DNA (205 cpm/μg) for 4 hours at 37ºC released < 0.15% of the total radioactivity.
