Recognition Site:
| single letter code
Source:
An E. coli strain that carries the AvaI gene from Anabaena variabilis (ATCC 27892).
Reagents Supplied:
NEBuffer 4
Enzyme Properties
Activity in NEBuffers:

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 100-fold overdigestion with AvaI, > 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 AvaI.
16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of DNA
and 200 units of AvaI 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 AvaI with 1 μg of a mixture of single and double-stranded
[3H] E. coli DNA (105 cpm/μg) for 4 hours at 37ºC
released < 0.1% of the total radioactivity.
Blue/White Screening Assay:
An appropriate vector is digested at a unique site within the
lacZα gene with a 10-fold excess of enzyme.
The vector DNA is then ligated, transformed, and plated onto Xgal/IPTG/Amp plates.
Successful expression of β-galactosidase is a function of how intact its gene remains after cloning,
an intact gene gives rise to a blue colony, removal of even a single base gives rise to a white colony.
Enzyme preparations must produce fewer than 3% white colonies to be Blue/White certified.
