Analysis Note: | Compatible ends Mae III ends are compatible with ends generated by Bst E II. Isoschizomers The enzyme has no known isoschizomers. Methylation sensitivity There is no evidence that the enzyme is inhibited by methylation. SuRE/Cut Buffer System The buffer in bold is recommended for optimal activity • A: 0-10% • B: 10-25% • H: 10-25% • L: 0-10% • M: 0-10% Note: Instead of the SuRE/Cut buffer system, please use the special 2x incubation buffer supplied with the enzyme. Incubation temperature +55°C Unit definition One unit is the enzyme activity that completely cleaves 1μg λDNA in 1 hour at +55°C in a total volume of 25μl special incubation buffer. Heat inactivation No information available. Ligation and recutting assay Mae III fragments obtained by complete digestion of 1μg λDNA are ligated with 1U T4 DNA Ligase in a volume of 10μl by incubation for 16 hours at +4°C in 66mM Tris-HCl, 5mM MgCl2, 5mM Dithiothreitol, 1mM ATP, pH 7.5 (at +8°C) resulting in >95% recovery of 1μg λDNA fragments. Subsequent re-cutting with Mae III yields >95% of the typical pattern of λDNA × Mae III fragments. |
Analysis Note: | Activity in PCR buffer: 0% Relative activity in PCR mix (Taq DNA Polymerase buffer) is 0%. The PCR mix contained λDNA, primers, 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.3, 20 °C), 50 mM KCl, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 200 μM dNTPs, 2.5 U Taq DNA polymerase. The mix was subjected to 25 amplification cycles. |
Application: | Mae III has been used as a restriction enzyme for PCR products. |
DNA Profile: | Number of cleavage sites on different DNAs • λ: 156 • φX174: 17 • Ad2: 118 • M13mp7: 25 • pBR322: 17 • pBR328: 18 • pUC18: 11 • SV40: 14 |
General description: | Mae III is a restriction enzyme which recognizes the sequence ↓GTNAC and generates fragments with 5′-cohesive termini. |
Other Notes: | For life science research only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. |
Quality: | Absence of nonspecific endonuclease activities 1μg λDNA is incubated for 16hours in 50μl incubation buffer with an excess of Mae III. The number of enzyme units which do not change the enzyme-specific pattern is stated in the certificate of analysis. Absence of exonuclease activity Approximately 5μg [3H] labeled calf thymus DNA are incubated with 3μl Mae III for 4hours at +37°C in a total volume of 100μl 50mM Tris-HCl, 10mM MgCl2, 1mM Dithioerythritol, pH approximately 7.5. Under these conditions, no release of radioactivity is detectable, as stated in the certificate of analysis. |
Specificity: | Recognition sites: GTNAC GTNAC Restriction site: ↓GTNAC ↓GTNAC Heat inactivation: There is no information available whether or not Mae III can be heat inactivated. |
Unit Definition: | One unit is the enzyme activity that completely cleaves 1 μg λDNA in one hour at +55 °C in a total volume of 25 μl (1x) special Mae I incubation buffer. |
