Product Overview
| Description | Applications Study of UV damage to DNA and its repair, including DNA damage in single cells. Detection of differential UV damage repair of transcribed sequences. Detection of UV mutational hotspots. T4 Endonuclease V functions as part of a base excision repair pathway to recognize and remove cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers. The enzyme binds to UV-irradiated DNA and processively scans the DNA until a pyrimidine dimer is encountered. T4 Endonuclease V then cleaves the glycosyl bond of the 5′-pyrimidine of the dimer and the 3′ phosphodiester bond, resulting in breakage of the DNA strand.1,2 Strand breakage is evident during subsequent electrophoresis as a change in conformation (i.e., from covalent closed circular to relaxed circular molecules), or as the appearance of unique DNA fragments. The enzyme is a small protein that does not require divalent cations or other cofactors.1 Source: gene denV in E. coli Activity: 20u/ul Unit Definition: One unit will change 1ug of UV-irradiated plasmid DNA from covalently closed circles (form I) to nicked closed circles (form II) in 30 minutes at 37°C. Activity Assay: The activity assay is performed in a 50ul reaction containing 50mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5) and 5mM using plasmid DNA irradiated for 1 minute at 254nm. Contaminating Activity Assays: T4 Endonuclease V is free of detectable exonuclease, non-T4 Endonuclease V-specific endonuclease and RNase activities as judged by electrophoresis after incubation of 1mg of various DNA substrates with 500-1000U of enzyme at 37°C for 16 hours. Storage Buffer: 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 100mM sodium chloride, 0.1mM EDTA, 1mM DTT, 0.1% Triton X-100, 50% glycerol. Working Solution: Dilute the enzyme in 0.01M EDTA with 0.1mg/ml nuclease-free BSA, and buffer of choice (0.04M sodium phosphate or equivalant). The presence of EDTA is critical. Quality Control: T4 Endonuclease V is free of detectable nonspecific exo-and endonuclease activities and RNase activity. Storage and Stability: Stable for one year at -20ºC. |
