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 ends
Xba I ends are compatible with fragments generated by Avr I, Nhe I, and Spe I.

Isoschizomers
The enzyme is not known to have isoschizomers.

Methylation sensitivity
Xba 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 System
Buffer printed in bold face type is the buffer recommended for optimal activity:
A B L M H
100% 75-100% 75-100% 75-100% 100%

Relative activity in complete PCR mix
Relative activity in PCR mix (Taq DNA Polymerase buffer) is 60%. The PCR mix contained ?DNA, primers, 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.3, +20°C), 50 mM KCl, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 200 ?M 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%.

PFGE tested
Xba I has been tested in Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis (on bacterial chromosomes). For cleavage of genomic DNA (E. coli C 600) embedded in agarose for PFGE analysis, we recommend 10 U enzyme per ?g DNA and approximately 4 hour incubation time.

Ligation and recutting assay
Xba I fragments obtained by complete digestion of 1 ?g pUC18 DNA are ligated with 1 U T4 DNA Ligase in a volume of 10 ?l by incubation for 16 hours at +4°C in 66 mM Tris-HCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 5 mM Dithiothreitol, 1 mM ATP, pH 7.5 (at +20°C) resulting in >90% recovery of pUC18 DNA.
Subsequent re-cutting with Xba I yields >95% of the typical pattern of pUC18 × Xba I fragments.

Specificity

Star Activity
The sequence specificity of Xba I is relaxed at low ionic strength or by addition of glycerol, ethanol or DMSO to the incubation mixture.
Recognition sites: TCTAGA
TCTAGA
Restriction site: T↓CTAGA
T↓CTAGA
Heat inactivation: Xba I can be heat inactivated by incubation at 65 °C for 15 minutes (up to 15 U/μg DNA). Higher concentrations of Xba I cannot be heat inactivated completely under these conditions.

Application

The restriction enzyme Xba I has been used for the digestion of genomic DNA.

Unit Definition

One unit is the enzyme activity that completely cleaves 1 μg λdam DNA in one hour at +37 °C in a total volume of 50 μl (1x) SuRE/Cut Buffer H.

Analysis Note

Absence of nonspecific endonuclease activities
1μg 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 activity
Approximately 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.

Restriction Endonucleases - The Molecular Scissors

The term “Restriction enzyme” originated from the studies of Enterobacteria phage λ (lambda phage) in the laboratories of Werner Arber and Matthew Meselson.

Restriction Enzymes

Restriction endonucleases popularly referred to as restriction enzymes, are ubiquitously present in prokaryotes. The function of restriction endonucleases is mainly protection against foreign genetic material especially against bacteriophage DNA.
