Gene Information

Escherichia coli K12 ... xthA(946254)

General description

A 3′→5′ exonuclease which catalyzes the removal of mononucleotides from the 3′-end of dsDNA. The enzyme also has apurinic and apyrimidinic endonuclease, 3′-DNA phosphatase, and RNase H activities. Activity is strongly dependent on temperature, salt concentration, and the ratio of enzyme to DNA, therefore reaction conditions must be optimized for specific applications.

Application

Suitable for:
  • Production of strand specific probes
  • Preparation of single stranded templates for Sanger dideoxy sequencing
  • Site directed mutagenesis

Components

Exonuclease III is supplied as a solution in 5 mM potassium phosphate (pH 6.5), 200 mM KCl, 0.05 mM EDTA, 5 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 200 μg/ml BSA, and 50% glycerol.

Unit Definition

One unit releases 1 nmole of acid-soluble nucleotides from sonicated calf thymus DNA in 30 min at 37 °C.

The presence of exonuclease III leads to direct recycling and reuse of the target DNA, which in turn results in substantial signal amplification for highly sensitive, label-free impedimetric detection of specific DNA sequences.

We report here a graphene oxide (GO)-based fluorescent aptasensor for adenosine detection by employing exonuclease III (Exo III) as a signal amplifying element. In the absence of adenosine, the adenosine aptamers hybridized with the complementary DNA (cDNA), and the Exo

The network consisting of three kinds of unlabeled stem-loop DNA molecular beacons (MBs) is activated by target DNA in the presence of exonuclease-III (Exo-III), achieving the concept of exonuclease-assisted cascaded recycling amplification (Exo-CRA) for DNA detection with a wide dynamic

Based on the specific folic acid-folate receptor (FA-FR) interaction, macromolecular FR can bind with FA-linked DNA-small molecule chimeras, which can prevent enzymolysis by exonuclease III (Exo III), enabling a novel fluorescence biosensor for FR to be developed using quinaldine red
