Exonuclease III (E. coli) 

Cat. No.: SB-G3465-5000U
Size: 5000U


Description

Exonuclease III ( E.coli ) is an exonuclease III derived from Escherichia coli, which is recombinantly expressed in Escherichia coli and exhibits four catalytic activities. The 3'-5' exodeoxyribonuclease activity is specific to double-stranded DNA, and the 5'-mononucleotide is gradually cut from the direction of the 3'OH end, and the best substrate is a blunt end and a 5' overhang or nicked double-stranded DNA. It is not active on DNA 3'-overhangs (at least 4 bases long and without a 3'-terminal C-residue), single-stranded DNA, or phosphorothioate-linked nucleotides. Exonuclease III ( E.coli ) has a 3' phosphatase activity that removes the 3'-terminal phosphate group to generate a 3'-OH group. Its RNase H activity can degrade RNA strands in RNA-DNA hybrids in an exonuclease manner. Apurinic/apyrimidinic-endonuclease activity cleaves phosphodiester bonds at apurinic or apyrimidinic sites, generating 5'-terminals (abasic deoxyribose 5'-phosphate residues). It is mainly used for single-strand template preparation, site-directed mutagenesis, and strand-specific probe preparation for DNA dideoxy sequencing.
