Recognition Site:
isoschizomers | compatible ends | single letter code
Source:
An E. coli strain that carries the NarI gene from Norcardia argentinensis (ATCC 31306)
Reagents Supplied:
NEBuffer 4 (10X)
Enzyme Properties
Activity in NEBuffers:
| NEBuffer 1: | | 100% | | NEBuffer 2: | | 75% | | NEBuffer 3: | | 75% | | NEBuffer 4: | | 100% |
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 |
Heat Inactivation:
65°C for 20 minutes
Survival in a Reaction:
Minimum units to digest 1 µg of substrate DNA in 16 hours: 1.00 unit(s)

Unit Assay Substrate:
pXba DNA
Storage Conditions:
10 mM Tris-HCl

Notes
General notes:- NarI is an isoschizomer of KasI. NarI produces a 2-base 5´ extension whereas KasI produces a 4-base 5´ extension.
- Demonstrates marked site preferences. On pBR322, the NarI site at 548 bp is cut very slowly.
FAQs
- 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?
- Has the conversion to NEBuffer4 altered any of the properties of the restriction enzyme?
- If I have an old tube of enzyme, what NEBuffer should I use?
- Will the new enzyme work in the originally supplied NEBuffer?
- Why is NEB switching this restriction enzyme to NEBuffer 4?
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 10-fold overdigestion with NarI, > 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 NarI.
16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of ΦX174 DNA
and 50 units of NarI 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 NarI with 1 μg of a mixture of single and double-stranded
[3H] E. coli DNA (205 cpm/μg) for 4 hours at 37ºC
released < 1% of the total radioactivity.
