General description
Protector RNase Inhibitor (40 U/μl) in storage buffer: 20 mM HEPES-KOH, 50 mM KCl, 8 mM dithiothreitol, 50% glycerol (v/v), pH approximately 7.6 (+4°C).
- RNase A
- RNase B
- RNase T2
- protect mRNA during cDNA synthesis reactions, RT-PCR (in conventional thermal cyclers and qPCR systems), or in vitro transcription/translation reactions
- protect viral RNA during in vitro virus replication
- inhibit RNases during RNA isolation and purification
- be used in RNase protection assays
- help prepare RNase-free antibodies
Specificity
RNase H is not inhibited by Protector RNase Inhibitor.
Heat inactivation: > 65 °C
Application
- Protect mRNA in cDNA synthesis reactions, RT-PCR (in conventional thermal cyclers and qPCR systems), e.g., with the LightCycler® Instruments, in vitro transcription/translation system, RNase Protection Assay, in vitro RNA synthesis
- Protect viral RNA during in vitro virus replication
- Inhibit RNases during RNA isolation and purification
- Help prepare RNase-free antibodies
- Synthesize RNA probes for in situ hybridization
Features and Benefits
- Rely on a thermostable RNase inhibitor: Protector RNase Inhibitor remains stable even when using thermostable reverse transcriptases such as Transcriptor Reverse Transcriptase.
- Benefit from a wide range of reaction conditions: Protector RNase Inhibitor is active at pH 5.0 to 9.0 and at temperatures between +25°C to +55°C (partial activity is still measureable at +60°C).
- Eliminate interference in different RNA analysis applications: Maintain performance even when adding at 16-fold higher than the standard concentration.
- Insist on a highly-purified preparation: Each batch is function tested using techniques such as quantitative RT-PCR to ensure the absence of endonucleases, ribonucleases, or nicking activity, according to the current quality control procedures.
Quality
Test buffer: 50 mM Tris-HCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mM EDTA, 7 mM β-Mercaptoethanol; pH 7.5 (+37°C).
Absence of endonucleases: 1 μg EcoR I/Hind III*-fragments of λDNA is incubated with Protector RNase Inhibitor in 50 μl test buffer at +37°C for 1 hour. The amount of inhibitor that causes no alteration in the banding pattern is stated under "Endo".
Absence of nicking activity: 1 μg supercoiled pBR322 DNA is incubated with Protector RNase Inhibitor in 50 μl test buffer at +37°C for 1 hour. The amount of inhibitor that causes no relaxation of supercoiled DNA is stated under "Nick. Act.".
Absence of ribonuclease (1): 5 μg of MS2 RNA is incubated with Protector RNase Inhibitor for 1 hour at +37°C in a final volume of 50 μl. The amount of inhibitor that causes no degradation of MS2 RNA is stated under "RNase 1".
Absence of ribonuclease (2): 5 μg of MS2 RNA is incubated with Protector RNase Inhibitor for 1 hour at +37°C, then 10 minutes at +65°C in a final volume of 50 μl. The amount of inhibitor that causes no degradation of MS2 RNA is stated under "RNase 2".
Unit Definition
Unit Assay: Activity is measured according to Blackburn as ability to inhibit hydrolysis of cyclic cytidine-2′ : 3′-monophosphoric acid. Under assay conditions, 200 U of Protector RNase Inhibitor inhibits 50% of the activity of 1 μg RNase A.
Volume Activity: 40 U/μl
Preparation Note
- 5 to 10 U in One-step RT-PCR
- 25 to 50 U in Two step RT-PCR
- 20 U for in vitro transcription
of inhibitor did not interfere with RT-PCR.)
