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: 1.00 unit(s)


Reaction & Storage Conditions


Reaction Conditions:
1X NEBuffer 3
Supplemented with 100 μg/ml Bovine Serum Albumin and 1 mM ATP
Incubate at 37°C.

1X NEBuffer 3:
50 mM Tris-HCl
100 mM NaCl

Concentration:
10,000 units/ml

Unit Assay Substrate:
pUC19 DNA

Storage Conditions:
10 mM Tris-HCl
100 mM NaCl

Diluent Compatibility:
Diluent A


Notes


General notes:
  1. ATP is required for DNA cleavage. Efficient cleavage requires the presence of two inversely oriented recognition sites. A head to head orientation is preferred. The "head" of the sequence is defined as the dG at the 3´ end of the CAGCAG strand (top strand). Cleavage efficiency is also affected by the distance between the two sites.
  2. Not sensitive to dam, dcm or mammalian CpG methylatiopn.

Quality Control for Current Lot


Quality control values for a specific lot can be found on the datacard which accompanies each product.

16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of DNA and 50 units of EcoP15I 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 50 units of EcoP15I with 1 μg of a mixture of single and double-stranded [3H] E. coli DNA (205 cpm/μg) for 4 hours at 37ºC released < 0.05% of the total radioactivity.

Endonuclease Activity:
Incubation of a 50 μl reaction containing 25 units of EcoP15I with 1 μg of ΦX174 RF I DNA for 4 hours at 37ºC resulted in < 5% conversion to RFII as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
