Description

RNase H, also known as Ribonuclease H, is a ribonucleic acid endonuclease obtained through expression and purification from Escherichia coli. It specifically hydrolyzes the RNA in DNA-RNA hybrid chains. RNase H cannot hydrolyze the phosphodiester bonds in single-stranded or double-stranded DNA or RNA, which means it cannot digest single-stranded or double-stranded DNA or RNA. RNase H is widely used to digest and degrade RNA in DNA-RNA hybrid double-strands formed after the synthesis of the second strand of cDNA, or to remove mRNA poly(A) hybridized to oligo (dT), among other applications.

Features

It specifically digests RNA in DNA-RNA hybrid chains and is commonly used in the synthesis of the second strand of cDNA.

Applications

Removal of RNA from DNA-RNA hybrid chains, such as pre-removal of RNA before the synthesis of the second strand of cDNA; removal of RNA after the synthesis of the first strand of cDNA in RT-PCR/RT-qPCR experiments; site-specific cleavage of RNA using complementary DNA sequences; removal of poly(A) from mRNA hybridized to poly(dT); studies of products in vitro polyadenylation reactions; identification of DNA-RNA hybrid double-strands.

Source

Purified from recombinant E. coli strains carrying the gene encoding RNase H from Escherichia coli.

Molecular weight

Approximately 18.4 kDa (monomer).

Activity definition

One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to produce 1 nmol of ribonucleotides from 20 picomoles of a fluorescently labeled 50 base pair RNA-DNA hybrid in a total reaction volume of 50 µl in 20 minutes at 37°C.

Inactivation or inhibition

RNase H can be inactivated by heating at 65°C for 10 minutes. Metal ion chelators and thiol-blocking agents can inhibit RNase H activity. Addition of EDTA to a final concentration of at least 5 mM can inhibit the enzymatic activity of RNase H.

Precautions

• When using the enzyme, it should be stored in an icebox or on an ice bath. After use, it should be immediately stored at -20°C.
• This product is intended for scientific research purposes by professionals only. It is not to be used for clinical diagnosis or treatment, and should not be used in food or drugs. It should not be stored in a regular household.
• For your safety and health, please wear a lab coat and disposable gloves when handling.

Storage

Store at -20°C, valid for 2 years.
