Application
Use this preparation of calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase to remove 5´-terminal phosphates from DNA or RNA. Removal of these phosphate groups is especially useful for enhancing cloning efficiency, since it prevents linearized vector DNA from self-ligating.
Note: The enzyme concentration in this preparation is 1 U/μl, which is convenient for small-scale experiments. A higher concentration (20 U/μl) preparation is also available.
Product Description
Brief description: Alkaline phosphatase hydrolyzes 5´-monophosphate groups from both DNA and RNA. It can also hydrolyze 5´-diphosphate and 5´-triphosphate groups from RNA.
Source: calf intestine
Inactivation: Add 1/10 volume of EGTA to the reaction mix
and incuabate at 65oC for 10
min. To ensure complete inactivation of enzyme, extract the mix with
phenol/chloroform/isoamyl alcohol to remove all protein.
Background Information
Preventing self-ligation of vectors during cloning
If a linearized vector lacks a 5´-phosphate, it cannot ligate to
itself or form concatamers that contain multiple copies of the vector. Thus, the
product of the ligation reaction is predominantly recombinant DNA (vector +
DNA insert), rather than religated plasmid.
