Description:
SphI has a High Fidelity version SphI-HF™ (NEB #R3182).
High Fidelity (HF) Restriction Enzymes have been engineered for reduced star activity and have 100% activity in buffer 4 which may simplify your double digest.
Source:
A E. coli strain that carries the SphI gene from Streptomyces phaeochromogenes (NRRL B-3559).
Reagents Supplied:
NEBuffer 2
Enzyme Properties
Activity in NEBuffers:
| NEBuffer 1: | | 100% | | NEBuffer 2: | | 100% | | NEBuffer 3: | | 50% | | 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: Not sensitive | |
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.

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 SphI, > 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 SphI.
16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of DNA
and 25 units of SphI 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 7,500 units of SphI 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.
Endonuclease Activity:
Incubation of a 50 μl reaction containing 45 units of SphI with 1 μg of
ΦX174 RF I DNA for 4 hours at 37ºC resulted
in < 20% conversion to RFII as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
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.
