Notes


General notes:
  1. Certain SacII sites (e.g. one in the right arm of λ DNA) are resistant to cleavage. The reason particular SacII sites in λ DNA and ΦX174 DNA are cleaved at significantly lower rates than those found with other substrates is unclear at present.
  2. SacII needs to interact with two copies of its recognition sequence to cleave. As a result, substrates with single SacII sites are cleaved at a reduced rate.

FAQs


  1. Is SacII affected by methylation?
  2. Are slow sites found in common vectors?
  3. Is SacII inhibited by salt?

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 SacII, > 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 SacII.


16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of DNA and 75 units of SacII 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 SacII 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 50 units of SacII with 1 μg of pBR322 DNA for 4 hours at 37ºC resulted in < 20% conversion to RFII as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
