E. coli Endonuclease V

E. coli Endonuclease V
 
Ionizing radiation, UV light, or nitrous acid can generate A/T to C/G transitions in DNA via the premutagenic base, hypoxanthine, or through the deamination of adenine. Hypoxanthine is removed in E. coli by 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylase, but not Endonuclease V. It is believed that Endonuclease V requires accessory proteins to remove the damaged base.
 
Source: Purified from E. coli containing a recombinant plasmid harboring the E. coli Endonuclease V gene.
   
Unit Definition: One unit is the amount of enzyme required to cleave 1 pmoles of a 32P-labeled oligonucleotide probe in one hour at 37°C at a C/C mismatch when hybridized to a complementary oligonucleotide.
   
Assay Conditions: 1X REC Buffer 2 (20 mM HEPES-NaOH (pH 7.4), 100 mM KCl, 2 mM MnCl2 and 0.1 mg/ml BSA), 4 pmoles of 32P-oligonucleotide probe, 4 pmoles of complementary oligonucleotide (which generate a C/C mismatch when hybridized together) and serial dilutions of enzyme in a 20 µl reaction volume are incubated for 1 hour at 37°C. Cleavage products are resolved by 20% denaturing PAGE.
   
Specificity: Endonuclease V recognizes mismatches in duplex DNA and cleaves the second and third phosphodiester bonds 3’ to the mismatch at 95% and 5% frequency, respectively, in the strand with the mismatch closest to the 5’ end. The opposite strand containing the mismatch closest to its 3’ end is also cleaved, but the extent of cleavage varies depending on the mismatch. Both strands are cleaved if the mismatch is located in the middle of the oligonucleotide duplex and cleavage occurs about equally at the second and third phosphodiester bonds 3’ from the mismatch. Endonuclease V also cleaves DNA duplexes containing inosine, deoxyuridine, AP sites, urea residues, hairpin or unpaired loops, flap, and pseudo-Y structures.

E. coli MutY Enzyme

SNIPASE® A/G (E. coli MutY DNA Glycosylase)
 
E. coli Mut Y acts together with Fpg to prevent the potentially mutagenic consequences of 8-oxo-dG lesions. The 8-oxo-dG lesions that escape repair by Fpg frequently pair with A during DNA replication, producing an 8-oxo-dG:A mispair. Mut Y removes the A from this base pair to initiate base excision repair. In the absence of Mut Y, DNA replication past the 8-oxo-dG:A mismatch results in thymine incorporation opposite the adenine in one of the daughter strands, creating a fixed mutation. Mut Y has an associated AP lyase activity.
       
Source: Purified from E. coli containing a recombinant plasmid harboring the E. coli MutY gene.
   
Unit Definition: One unit is the amount of enzyme required to cleave 1 pmole of an oligonucleotide duplex containing an A/G mismatch in 1 hour at 37°C. Only the strand with the A is cleaved.
   
Assay Conditions: 1X REC Buffer 9 (10 mM HEPES-KOH (pH 7.4), 100 mM KCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM EGTA, and 0.1 mM DTT), 4 pmoles 32P hypoxanthine oligonucleotide, 4 pmoles complementary oligonucleotide, and serial dilutions of enzyme in a reaction volume of 20 µl. Incubate for 1 hour at 37°C. Reaction products are resolved by 20% denaturing PAGE.

E. coli Mismatch Uracil DNA Glycosylase (Mug Protein)

E. coli Mismatch Uracil DNA Glycosylase (Mug protein)
 
E. coli Mug is an 18 kDa constitutively expressed protein. It has been proposed that Mug is responsible for the removal of 3,N4-ethenocytosine from DNA, although the biological role remains unclear. The Mug protein excises 3,N4-ethenocytosine and removes the uracil base from mismatches in the order of U:G>U:A.
 
Source: Purified from E. coli containing a recombinant plasmid encoding the E. coli Mug protein.
   
Unit Definition: One unit cleaves 1 pmole of a 32P-labeled oligonucleotide probe containing 3,N4-ethenocytosine within an oligonucleotide duplex in one hour at 37°C.
   
Assay Conditions: 1X REC Buffer 6 (20 mM Tris-Cl (pH 8.0), 0.1 mg/ml BSA, 1 mM EDTA, and 1 mM DTT), 1 pmole 3,N4-ethenocytosine oligonucleotide (Cat# 3864-100-01) labeled with 32P, 1 pmole complement D (Cat# 3849-100-04), and serial dilutions of enzyme in a reaction volume of 20 µl, incubated for 1 hour at 37°C.
   
Specificity: E. coli Mug catalyzes the excision of 3,N4-ethenocytosine, a form of DNA damage, in double or single stranded DNA. It also acts to excise uracil in uracil-guanine mismatches.
   
Storage: Freeze in working aliquots at -20°C in a manual defrost freezer to avoid repeated freeze-thawings. The enzyme is supplied in 25 mM HEPES (pH 7.6), 0.5 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, 1 mM PMSF, and 10% (v/v) glycerol.

Thermostable TDG Protein

SNIPASE® T/G, G/G (Thermostable TDG Protein)
 
TDG is a thermostable thymine DNA glycosylase from Methanobacterium thermoau-totrophicum. The optimal temperature for the enzyme is 65°C. The enzyme lacks significant AP lyase or endonuclease activity. TDG works effectively in heteroduplex analysis to detect T/G and G/G mismatches.
 
Source: Thermostable TDG is purified from E. coli containing a recombinant plasmid harboring the thermostable TDG gene.
   
Unit Definition: One unit is the amount of enzyme required to cleave 1 pmole of an oligonucleotide duplex containing a T/G mismatch in 1 hour at 65°C. Only the strand containing the T is cleaved.
   
Assay Conditions: 1X REC Buffer 4 (10 mM HEPES-KOH (pH 7.4), 100 mM KCl, and 10 mM EDTA), 4 pmoles of each oligo in the T/A Control Thermophilic Oligonucleotide Set (Cat# 3810-100-TA: TUT=TDG probe, TLA=complementary strand, and TLG=negative control), and serial dilutions of enzyme in a 20 µl reaction volume are incubated for 1 hour at 65°C.
   
Specificity: TDG enzyme recognizes T/G, mismatches in duplex DNA and cleaves the strand with the T. The opposite strand is not cleaved. The enzyme also recognizes G/G mismatches and cleaves one strand or the other. TDG enzyme exhibits poor AP endonuclease and AP lyase activities.
   
Applications:
•   MIDAS
•   MIDAScan
•   Mismatch detection
   
Storage: Freeze in working aliquots at -20°C to avoid repeated freeze-thawing. The enzyme is supplied in 10 mM HEPES KOH, pH 7.4, 100 mM KCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.1 mg/ml BSA, and 50% glycerol.
