Restriction Enzymes EcoRV / Eco32I

A restriction enzyme or restriction endonuclease is defined as a protein that recognizes a specific, short nucleotide sequence and cuts the DNA only at or near that site, known as restriction site or target sequence. The four most common types of restriction enzymes include: Type I (cleaves at sites remote from a recognition site), Type II (cleaves within or at short specific distances from a recognition site), Type III (cleave at sites a short distance from a recognition site), and Type IV (targets modified DNA- methylated, hydroxymethylated and glucosyl-hydroxymethylated DNA). The most common challenges with restriction digest include- 1. inactivation of the enzyme, 2. incomplete or no digestion, and 3. unexpected cleavage. The enzyme should always be stored at -20C and multiple freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided in order to maintain optimal activity. Always use a control DNA digestion with the enzyme to ensure adequate activity (to avoid interference due to high glycerol in the enzyme). For complete digestion, make sure that the enzyme volume is 1/10th of the total reaction volume, the optimal temperature is constantly maintained throughout the reaction, the total reaction time is appropriately calculated based on the amount of DNA to be digested, appropriate buffers should be used to ensure maximal enzymatic activity, and in case of a double digest, make sure that the two restriction sites are far enough so that the activity of one enzyme cannot interfere with the activity of the other. Star activity (or off-target cleavage) and incomplete cleavage are potential challenges which may occur due to suboptimal enzymatic conditions or inappropriate enzyme storage. To avoid these, follow the recommended guidelines for storage and reactions, and always check for the efficacy of digestion along with purification of digested products on an agarose gel.

EcoRV-HF®

New England BioLabs

Protocol tips
We developed an endonuclease assay to study conformations of dsDNA on SWCNTs. The scheme is shown in Figure 1b. In a typical experiment, 0.5 mg/L of DNA–SWCNTs were incubated with 20U of BamHI-HF or EcoRV-HF in NEBuffer 4 (1x) in a total volume of 30 uL in 1.5 mL Eppendorf tubes, at 22°C and shaking with 300 rpm. Aliquots supplemented with Triton X-100 were incubated with the desired Triton X-100 concentration for 2 h at 22 °C before mixing with enzyme and buffer.
After 16 h of incubation, the reaction solutions were diluted to 300 uL with ddH2O before being stopped by adding an equal volume of phenol-chloroform-isoamyl alcohol extraction reagent (Sigma-Aldrich, 25:24:1). After centrifugation for 5 min at 16000 g at room temperature, the aqueous phase was collected, and the DNA was precipitated according to literature using ethanol supplemented with glycogen (CarlRoth). The pellet was washed with 70% ethanol and re-suspended in denaturing
gel loading buffer containing 95% formamide. Samples were heat-denatured for 3 min at 95°C and immediately quenched on ice before separation on a denaturing 12% urea-polyacrylamide gel (Urea-PAGE) in 1X Tris-boric acid-EDTA buffer (TBE) at 250 V for 45 min.
Downstream tips
The DNA was stained with SYBR® Gold (Thermo Fisher) for ~25min and visualized on a blue-light gel imager. The amount of DNA was quantified
using ImageJ. All experiments were conducted in triplicate.
Eco32I (EcoRV) (10 U/µL)

Thermo Fisher Scientific

Protocol tips
The test for the presence of cohesive ends of the phage genome was performed as previously described (26), using the restriction enzymes HindIII, XhoI, Eco32I, SalI, and SmaI (Thermo Scientific). Briefly, phage DNA samples were divided into two parts after restriction digestion. The first part was loaded on the gel at 0°C, whereas the second part was heated at 70°C for 10 min prior to loading. Subsequently, all the samples were immediately separated by electrophoresis, and the DNA band patterns were compared.
FastDigest Eco32I

Thermo Fisher Scientific

Protocol tips
After amplification, the ETAS-PCR/Vgsc-1014 multiplex products were digested with FastDigest Eco32I restriction enzyme (Thermo Scientific, United Kingdom) in a final reaction volume of 30 µl including 10 µl of the PCR product, 2 µl of 10× FastDigest Green buffer, 1.5 µl of FastDigest enzyme and 17 µl distilled water. The reaction was incubated at 37 °C for 10 min. Finally, 10 µl of digestion reaction was loaded on a 3% agarose gel.
EcoRV NEB#R0195

New England BioLabs

Protocol tips
Digestion reactions were set up in 12 μl volume using 96 fmoles of duplex per reaction, with SUPERase•In™ RNase Inhibitor 1 U/μl, in the buffer recommended by the manufacturer. Enzymes were used at a maximum concentration compatible with glycerol content lower than 4.75%. MvaI, HindIII, PvuII (Fastdigest™ series) and BcnI enzymes were from Thermo Scientific™. AvaII, HinP1I and EcoRV were from New England Biolabs.
Protocol tips
The amplified fragment was first cloned into a pMD-18T vector (Takara Bio Inc.) with fusion green fluorescent protein expression and then subcloned (BamHI + EcoRV; Takara Bio Inc.) into a pWPXL lentivirus vector.
