 Recognition Site:


 isoschizomers | compatible ends | single letter code
Source: A E. coli strain that carries the BglI gene from Bacillus globigii (ATCC 49760).
Reagents Supplied: NEBuffer 3
Enzyme Properties

 Activity in NEBuffers:
| NEBuffer 1: |  | 50% | | NEBuffer 2: |  | 75% | | NEBuffer 3: |  | 100% | | NEBuffer 4: |  | 50% |
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: Blocked by some combinations of overlapping |
Heat Inactivation: 65°C for 20 minutes
Survival in a Reaction: Minimum units to digest 1 µg of substrate DNA in 16 hours: 0.13 unit(s)

Notes

 General notes:- The various sticky ends produced by BglI cleavage can be used to reconstitute plasmid and phage genomes and to exchange wild-type and mutant DNA fragments (Burger, K. J. and Schinzel, R. (1983) Mol. Gen. 189, 269-274).

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 80-fold overdigestion with BglI, > 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 BglI.
16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of DNA
and 200 units of BglI 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 400 units of BglI with 1 μg of a mixture of single and double-stranded
[3H] E. coli DNA (205 cpm/μg) for 4 hours at 37ºC
released < 0.2% of the total radioactivity.
Endonuclease Activity:
Incubation of a 50 μl reaction containing 40 units of BglI with 1 μg of
ΦX174 RF I DNA for 4 hours at 37ºC resulted
in < 30% conversion to RFII as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
