Analysis Note

Absence of nonspecific endonuclease activities
1μg Ad2 DNA is incubated for 16 hours in 50μl SuRE/Cut Buffer H with an excess of Spe I. The number of enzyme units which do not change the enzyme-specific pattern is stated in the certificate of analysis.

Absence of exonuclease activity
Approximately 5μg [3H] labeled calf thymus DNA are incubated with 3μl Spe I for 4 hours at +37°C in a total volume of 100μl 50mM Tris-HCl, 10mM MgCl₂, 1mM Dithioerythritol, pH approximately 7.5. Under these conditions, no release of radioactivity is detectable, as stated in the certificate of analysis.

Compatible ends
Spe I ends are compatible with ends generated by Bln I, Nhe I, and Xba I.

Isoschizomers
The enzyme is an isoschizomer of Bcu I and Ahl I.

Methylation sensitivity
As indicated by (*) on the recognition sequence above, Spe I is inhibited by the presence of N6-methyladenine and 5′-methylcytosine ( ^mA↓^m CTAGT).

Incubation temperature
+37°C

PFGE tested
Spe I has been tested in Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis (on bacterial chromosomes). For cleavage of genomic DNA (E. coli C 600) embedded in agarose for PFGE analysis, we recommend using 10U of enzyme/μg DNA and 4 hour incubation time.

Ligation and recutting assay
Spe I fragments obtained by complete digestion of 1μg Ad2 DNA are ligated with 1U T4 DNA Ligase in a volume of 10μl by incubation for 16 hours at +4°C in 66mM Tris-HCl, 5mM MgCl₂, 5mM Dithiothreitol, 1mM ATP, pH 7.5 (at +20°C), resulting in >90% recovery of Ad2 DNA.
Subsequent re-cutting with Spe I yields >95% of the typical pattern of Ad2 × Spe I fragments.

SuRE/Cut Buffer System
The buffer in bold is recommended for optimal activity

• A: 75-100%
• B: 75-100%
• H: 100%
• L: 75-100%
• M: 100%

Activity in PCR buffer: Not tested

Other Notes

For life science research only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

One unit is the enzyme activity that completely cleaves 1 μg Ad2 DNA in one hour at +37 °C in a total volume of 25 μl SuRE/Cut Buffer H.
