Description:
FspEI, an EpiMark
?
validated product, is a modification-dependent endonuclease which recognizes C
m
C sites and generates a double-stranded DNA break on the 3? side of the modified cytosine at N
12
/N

. Recognized cytosine modifications include C5-methylation (5-mC) and C5-hydroxymethylation (5-hmC) (1).?
This enzyme is provided with an Enzyme Activator Solution which may be used for efficient digestion by FspEI.
The most common epigenetic modifications found in eukaryotic organisms are methylation marks at CpG or CHG sites. A subset of these modified sites are recognized and cleaved by FspEI.?

FspEI recognizes each hemi-methylated site individually and cleaves bidirectionally to generate 32 base or 31 base fragments, respectively. These fragments contain the central methylated site and have 4-base 5? overhangs at each end. FspEI does not cleave unmodified DNA.

Notes:
This enzyme has been used for epigenetic analysis in which target DNA containing CpG sites methylated in both strands is cleaved by FspEI to generate 32 bp fragments containing the methylated CpG sites. The isolated 32 bp fragments can be sequenced to reveal 5-mC modification sites (Cohen-Karni et al., (2011) PNAS 108: 11040-11045).Use of excess enzyme inhibits cleavage. Optimization of the amount of enzyme needed for complete digestion may be required for each substrate DNA.Star activity, including digestion of non-methylated DNA substrates, may result from non-optimal reaction conditions such as extended digestion time, high enzyme or activator concentration or a glycerol concentration of >5%. Optimization of the amount of enzyme needed to achieve efficient specific cuffing, while avoiding star activity, may be required for each substrate DNA.Optimal specificity of cleavage at 5-mC sites can be achieved by keeping the molar ratio of FspEI to 5-mC target sites between 0.1:1 to 1:1 in the presence of 1X Enzyme Activator Solution and digestion for up to 60 minutes. (The molarity of FspEI~0.6 μM).
