Restriction Enzymes PvuI

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.

PvuI NEB#R0150

New England BioLabs

Protocol tips
The reaction mixture was purified with the Qiagen PCR Purification Kit and incubated with 5 units of Klenow Fragment (3′ exo−) (NEB) for 30 minutes at 37 °C in 1x NEBuffer 2 (50 mM NaCl, 10 mM Tris-HCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM dithiothreitol, pH 7.9) with 240 μM dATP (Promega) in a 50 μL final volume. 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.5 was added to a volume of 90 μL and the reaction was incubated for 20 minutes at 75 °C to inactivate the enzyme before cooling to 12 °C. 300 fmol of “adapter1/2”, barcoded according to enzyme concentration, or 6 pmol of “adapter1/2” for the PvuI digest, were added to the reaction mixture, along with 10 ul 10x NEB T4 DNA Ligase Reaction Buffer (500 mM Tris-HCl, 100 mM MgCl2, 100 mM dithiothreitol, 10 mM ATP).
PvuI-HF®

New England BioLabs

Protocol tips
DNA replication in the aliquot containing [32P]∆N-His-PKA-LexA and [α32P]dATP was quenched for 10 min at 37 °C by adding an equal volume of stop buffer containing 50 mM HEPES-KOH (pH 8.0), 75 mM potassium glutamate, 10 mM Mg(OAc)2, 10 mM DTT, 100 μg/ml BSA, 4 mM AMP-PNP, 133 µM
2′,3′-dideoxyribonucleoside 5′-triphosphates, and
0.4 U/µl of each EcoRI-HF (NEB) and PvuI-HF
(NEB). EDTA was then added to a final concentration of 30 mM and the DNA products
analyzed by gel electrophoresis as described (17)
using 0.6% alkaline agarose and 0.8% native agarose gels followed by autoradiography and
phosphorimaging.
FastDigest PvuI

Thermo Fisher Scientific

Protocol tips
Digestion of chromatin and DNA was performed. First, the chromatin was digested with the following FastDigest enzymes: AatII and PvuI (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). The restriction enzymes were defined by in silico analysis. Sites of digestion for AatII and PvuI are located in the nucleosomes, where DNA wraps around nucleosomes. After digestion with restriction enzymes (15 min, 37 °C) and enzymes’ inactivation (AatII, PvuI –80 °C, 5 min), the samples were incubated with Proteinase K (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and RNase A (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) at 37 °C for 1 h.
PvuI (10 U/µL)

Thermo Fisher Scientific

Protocol tips
An expression plasmid coding for the full-length XPG/XPF protein or one of the splice variants, e.g. pcDNA3.1 (+)XPF, was linearized using the PvuI restriction enzyme (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Downstream tips
Successful linearization was analyzed on an agarose gel and the linearized plasmids were purified by ethanol precipitation.
Protocol tips
Finally, the resulting pEX12–tTA2S was digested with NotI and PvuI Takara) to obtain a 7,627 bp fragment (PmThy1.2–tTA2S–p(A)) for pronuclear injection NotI and PvuI (Takara) to obtain a 7,627 bp fragment (PmThy1.2–tTA2S–p(A)) for pronuclear injection (Fig. 1a).
