Size

500 Units

MseI (RspRSII) restriction site:

T | TA A
A AT | T

Supplied buffer: T+BSA

Effect of DNA methylation: not sensitive to DNA methylation

Reaction temperature: 60°C

  • Source: Escherichia coli carrying a plasmid encoding the RspRSII gene
  • Concentration: 10 units/µl
  • Substrate for unit definition: lambda DNA
  • Star activity: cleavage at alternative site(s) occurs in the presence of high concentrations of glycerol
  • Inactivation: Residual activity observed after EtOH precipitation or incubation at 70°C for 15 minutes. No residual activity observed after phenol treatment.
  • MseI, an isoschizomer of RspRSII, is a restriction enzyme that cleaves within the recognition sequence 5′-TTAA-3′. MseI is exceptionally stable and has an optimal reaction temperature of 60°C. It can be used to pretreat (fragment) genomic DNA prior to enrichment of methylated DNA using the EpiXplore Methylated DNA Enrichment Kit.
  • Each lot undergoes stringent quality testing including overdigestion, genome DNA analysis, ligation-recutting and pKF3 cloning
