Analysis Note
SuRE/Cut Buffer SystemThe buffer in bold is recommended for optimal activity A: 100% B: 75-100% H: 100% L: 75-100% M: 75-100%
Absence of nonspecific endonuclease activities1µg λDNA is incubated for 16 hours in 50 µl SuRE/Cut Buffer H with an excess of Xba I. The number of enzyme units which do not change the enzyme-specific pattern is stated in the certificate of analysis.Absence of exonuclease activityApproximately 5 µg [3H] labeled calf thymus DNA are incubated with 3µl Xba I for 4 hours at +37°C in a total volume of 100 µl 50 mM Tris-HCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM Dithioerythritol, pH approximately 7.5. Under these conditions, no release of radioactivity is detectable, as stated in the certificate of analysis.
Activity in PCR buffer: 60%Relative activity in PCR mix (Taq DNA Polymerase buffer) is 60%. 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.Activity in reaction buffer of Pwo SuperYield DNA Polymerase PCR Mix is 25%. When supplemented with GC-RICH Solution, activity increases to 100%. Pwo SuperYield DNA Polymerase PCR Mix is not available in U.S.
Application

General description
Xba I recognizes the sequence T↓*CTAGA and generates fragments with 5′-cohesive termini. The enzyme needs at least two nucleotides around the target sequence before it will cut the cleavage site.Compatible endsXba I ends are compatible with fragments generated by Avr I, Nhe I, and Spe I.IsoschizomersThe enzyme is not known to have isoschizomers.Methylation sensitivityXba I digestion of DNA is inhibited by the dam gene product of E. coli, which methylates the 6N position of adenine in the sequence GATC. The enzyme is also inhibited by 5-methylcytosine or 5-hydroxymethylcytosine at the site (*) indicated on the recognition sequence.Activity in SuRE/Cut Buffer SystemBuffer printed in bold face type is the buffer recommended for optimal activity:A B L M H100% 75-100% 75-100% 75-100% 100%Relative activity in complete PCR mixRelative activity in PCR mix (Taq DNA Polymerase buffer) is 60%.
