Recognition Site:
isoschizomers | compatible ends | single letter code
Source:
An E. coli strain that carries the cloned BceAI gene from Bacillus cereus 1315 (C. Nkenfou)
Reagents Supplied:
NEBuffer 3 (10X)
BSA (100X)
Enzyme Properties
Activity in NEBuffers:
| NEBuffer 1: | | 100% | | NEBuffer 2: | | 100% | | NEBuffer 3: | | 100% | | 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 | |
More information about: Methylation Sensitivity |
Heat Inactivation:
65°C for 20 minutes
Survival in a Reaction:
(+ + +) Suitable for an extended or overnight digestion. Enzyme is active > 8 hours.

Notes
General notes:- Conditions of low ionic strength, high enzyme concentration, glycerol concentration > 5%, or pH > 8.0 may result in star activity.
- To avoid star activity, do not use this enzyme in NEBuffer 1, NEBuffer 2 or NEBuffer 4.
FAQs
- Has the buffer supplied with this enzyme changed from a unique buffer to a standard NEBuffer?
- What is Star Activity and how can it be avoided?
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 5-fold overdigestion with BceAI, > 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 BceAI.
16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of DNA
and 5 units of BceAI incubated for 16 hours at 37ºC
resulted in a DNA pattern free of detectable nuclease degradation as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis. However, fragments produced by noncanonical cleavage due to star activity may be observed with 10 units of enzyme in similar conditions.
Exonuclease Activity:
Incubation of a 50 μl reaction containing 15 units of BceAI 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.
