General description
Sp6 Polymerase is a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase with high specific activity for the bacteriophage Sp6 promoter. The enzyme is efficient in transcribing large quantities of RNA from the DNA sequence (polylinker) downstream from the promoter. Simultaneous transcription by Sp6 and Sp7 polymerases may occur without interfering with each other.
Application
Suitable for:
- Synthesis of labeled and unlabeled RNA transcripts
- RNase protection assays
- Generating RNA transcripts for in vitro translation
- Use in in vitro transcription of RNA transcripts, antisense RNA (from reversed cloned DNA insert), and biologically active mRNA
Components
Protease is supplied in a solution of 100 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.9), 0.1 mM EDTA, 0.1% Triton X-100, 1 mM DTT, and 50% (v/v) glycerol.
Unit Definition
One unit will catalyze the incorporation of 1 nmol of rNTP into acid-precipitable material in 60 min at 37 °C.
Analysis Note
Activity assay: 40 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.9, 6 mM MgCl2, 4 mM spermidine, 10 mM DTT, 0.5 μM each rNTP + 10 μCi α-32P-UTP, 3-10 units of enzyme, and 1 μg of a 350 bp template are incubated for 10 min at 37 °C in a total volume of 100 μl. Typical results are ≥50% incorporation of labeled nucleotide into ≥90% full-length transcript.
Other Notes
Sp6 polymerase exhibits 30% more activity at 40°C than at 37°C.
