10x Uracil Cleavage System


Product Description

The Uracil Cleavage System provides two enzymes, which, when added sequentially to a reaction containing a synthetic DNA fragment containing a deoxy-uracil, generate a single nucleotide gap at the location of the uracil residue. The system consists of two individual enzyme components, Uracil DNA Glycosylase (UDG) and Endonuclease VIII, provided at a 10X concentration to be added to a reaction containing a uracil-containing polynucleotide sequence. UDG catalyses the excision of the uracil base, creating an abasic site with an intact phosphodiester backbone (1,2). The lyase activity of Endonuclease VIII breaks the phosphodiester backbone both 3′ and 5′ to the abasic site, liberating the deoxyribose sugar (3,4).

Source of Protein
Each component protein is purified separately from?
E. coli
strains containing recombinant Endonuclease VIII and Uracil-DNA Glycosylase genes.

Supplied with:
UDG (G5010)
10 mM Tris-HCl
50 mM NaCl
1 mM DTT
0.1 mM EDTA
50% glycerol
pH 7.5 @ 25°C

Endonuclease VIII (Y9080):
10 mM Tris-HCl
250 mM NaCl
0.1 mM EDTA
50% glycerol
pH 8.0 @ 25°C

Unit Definition, UDG
1 unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that catalyzes the release of 1.8 nmol of uracil in 30 minutes from double-stranded, tritiated, uracil containing-DNA at 37°C in 1X UDG Reaction Buffer.

Unit Definition, Endonuclease Vlll
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to cleave 1 pmol of an oligonucleotide duplex containing a single AP site in 1 hour at 37°C.



Quality Control Analysis

Unit Characterization Assay, UDG
Specific activity was measured using a 2-fold serial dilution method. Dilutions of enzyme were made in 1X reaction buffer and added to 50 ?L reactions containing a
3
H-dUTP containing PCR product and 1X UDG Reaction Buffer. Reactions were incubated for 10 minutes at 37°C, plunged on ice, and analyzed using a TCA-precipitation method.

Unit Characterization Assay, Endonuclease VIII
Specific activity was measured using a 2-fold serial dilution method. Dilutions of enzyme were made in 1X reaction buffer and added to 10 ?L reactions containing 2.0 ?M of a FAM-labeled, 34-base duplex oligonucleotide, containing a single Uracil. [Note: substrate pre-treated for 2 minutes with UDG to create an abasic site] Reactions were incubated 60 minutes at 37°C, plunged on ice, denatured with N-N-dimethyl -formamide and analyzed on a 15% TBE-Urea acrylamide gel.

SDS-Page (Physical Purity Assessment)
2.0 ?L of enzyme solution was loaded on a denaturing 4-20% Tris-Glycine SDS-PAGE gel flanked by a broad-range MW
Marker
and 2.0 ?L of a 1:100 dilution of the sample. Following electrophoresis, the gel was stained and the samples compared to determine physical purity. The acceptance criteria for this test requires that the aggregate mass of contaminant bands in the concentrated sample do not exceed the mass of the protein of interest band in the dilute sample, confirming greater than 99% purity of the concentrated sample.



Contamination Tests

(Performed on UDG and Endonuclease VIII separately):

Single-Stranded Exonuclease Activity
A 50 ?L reaction containing 10,000 cpm of a r
ADI
olabeled single-stranded DNA substrate and 10 ?L of enzyme solution incubated for 4 hours at 37°C resulted in less than 5.0% release of TCA-soluble counts.

Double-Stranded Exonuclease Activity
A 50 ?L reaction containing 5,000 cpm of a r
ADI
olabeled double-stranded DNA substrate and 10 ?L of enzyme solution incubated for 4 hours at 37°C resulted in less than 1.0% release of TCA-soluble counts.

Double-Stranded Endonuclease Activity
A 50 ?L reaction containing 0.5 ?g of pBR322 DNA and 10 ?L of enzyme solution incubated for 4 hours at 37°C resulted in no visually discern
IBL
e conversion to nicked circular DNA as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.

E.coli
16S rDNA Contamination Test
Replicate 5 ?L samples of enzyme solution were denatured and screened in a TaqMan qPCR assay for the presence of contaminating
E.coli
genomic DNA using oligonucleotide primers corresponding to the 16S rRNA locus. The acceptance criterion for the test is the threshold cycle count (C
t
) produced by the average of 3 replicate no template control samples. Based on the correlation between the no template control C
t
values, and standard curve data, the detection limit of this assay is <10 copies genome/sample.

Usage Instructions

The following reaction specification is set to 10 ?l. The volume can be tailored up or down to suit the requirement of the application by maintaining the ratios of components outlined below.


Prepare Uracil-containing DNA (e.g. PCR amplification product). The Uracil Cleavage System enzymes are active in most molecular
BIOLOG
y reaction buffers, so there is no need to exchange buffers prior to assembling the cleavage reaction.

Combine and mix the following components in a sterile tube:

Total Volume





Add 0.5 ?l UDG (G5010) to a reaction vessel containing the DNA substrate.

Add 0.5 ?l Endonuclease VIII (Y9080) to a reaction vessel containing the DNA substrate.

Incubate at 37°C for 30 minutes.

Following the incubation period, the reaction can be stopped by adding a gel-lo
