Bovine pancreatic deoxyribonuclease I produced recombinantly in yeast, Pichia pastoris, to decrease levels of contaminating RNase and eliminate potential pathogens associated with animal based materials.
Bovine pancreas is a rich source of RNase A which is often found in many commercial DNase preparations. Producing DNase I by recombinant means in an organism with much lower levels of endogenous RNase greatly facilitates purification of an enzyme with undetectable levels of RNase. The processes involved in the production and isolation of recombinant DNase I are completely devoid of animal based components which eliminates the possibility of introducing animal derived pathogens into bioprocessing procedures.
Recombinant DNase I is suitable for such applications as:
• Removing genomic DNA from RNA preparations prior to RT-PCR
• Degradation of DNA templates after transcription reactions
• Removing unwanted DNA from samples prior to Northern blotting
• Removing DNA during biopharma and bioprocessing procedures
Unit Definition:<
Note: Kunitz units as reported by other suppliers can be 2 to 4 times higher than Kunitz units as measured at Worthington. As measured at Worthington, One Kunitz unit digests 1mg of calf thymus (or pUC19 or l-phage) DNA in 10 minutes at 37oC in 50mM Tris, 1mM Mg2+, 1mM Ca2+, pH 7.8. Correlation of digestion units with Kunitz units may be different in other buffer systems.
Storage Buffer (DR1S): 5mM calcium acetate, 4mg/ml glycine, pH 5.0 and 50% glycerol.
DNase I Reaction Buffer (10X): 500mM Tris-HCl, 10mM MgSO4, 1mM CaCl2, pH 7.8, provided.
