Description:
I-CeuI is an intron-encoded endonuclease. The intron encoding I-CeuI is present in the chloroplast large rRNA gene of Chlamydomonas eugametos (1). This gene has been cloned and overexpressed in E. coli (2).

Source:
A E. coli strain that carries the I-CeuI gene from Chlamydomonas eugametos (C. Lemieux).

Reagents Supplied:
NEBuffer 4 (10X)
BSA (100X)
pBHS ScaI-linearized Control Plasmid (5 μg)


Enzyme Properties


Activity in NEBuffers:
NEBuffer 1:10%
NEBuffer 2:10%

When using a buffer other than the optimal (supplied) NEBuffer, it may be necessary to add more enzyme to achieve complete digestion.

Heat Inactivation:
65°C for 20 minutes

Survival in a Reaction:
(+ +) Intermediate activity. Suitable for extended digestion, but < 8 hours.

Notes


General notes:
  1. Homing endonucleases do not have stringently-defined recognition sequences in the way that restriction enzymes do. That is, single base changes do not abolish cleavage but reduce its efficiency to variable extents. The precise boundary of required bases is generally not known. The recognition sequence listed is one site that is known to be recognized and cleaved.
  2. Supplied with plasmid DNA. ScaI-linearized pBHS is supplied at 0.5 mg/ml in 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 1 mM EDTA. Cleavage of this 3.5 kb plasmid gives fragments of 2100 and 1400 base pairs.
Usage notes:
  1. Digests should be incubated in 0.5% SDS prior to electrophoresis.

FAQs


  1. Can a double digest be performed with PI-SceI and I-CeuI?

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 I-CeuI, > 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 I-CeuI.


16-Hour Incubation:
A 50 μl reaction containing 1 μg of DNA and 50 units of I-CeuI 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 I-CeuI 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 50 units of I-CeuI with 1 μg of ΦX174 RF I DNA for 4 hours at 37ºC resulted in < 10% conversion to RFII as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.

Plasmid DNA:
pBHS ScaI-linearized Control Plasmid is supplied at 0.5 mg/ml in 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0) and 1 mm EDTA. Cleavage of this 3.5 kb plasmid gives fragments of 2,100 and 1,400 base pairs.
