Protocol for Production of Single-stranded Circular
DNA Molecules from Supercoiled Double-stranded Plasmids in vitro
(with Nb.Bpu10I)
-
Add the following components to a reaction tube:
- Vortex the tube and spin in a microcentrifuge for 3-5 seconds.
-
Incubate at 37ºC for 1 hour .
-
Add ½ volume of phenol (200 µl) and ½ volume of chloroform/isoamyl alcohol
(24:1) (200 µl), vortex for 10 sec. and centrifuge at 10,000 rpm for 5
minutes.
-
Transfer the upper aqueous phase to a fresh tube and add 1 volume (400 µl) of
chloroform/isoamyl alcohol (24:1). Vortex and centrifuge for 5 minutes.
-
Repeat step 5 twice more.
-
Transfer the upper aqueous phase to a fresh tube. Add 1/10 volume of 3M sodium
acetate and 2.5 volumes of ice-cold ethanol. Mix and incubate at -20ºC for
1 hour.
-
Centrifuge at 10,000 rpm for 10 minutes.
-
Pour off the supernatant and carefully wash the pellet with 200 µl of 75%
ice-cold ethanol. Dry the pellet.
-
Dissolve DNA in 50 µl of water, nuclease-free.
- Treat
with Exonuclease III by adding the following components:
- Mix and
incubate at 30ºC for 10 min. Stop the reaction by heating at 70ºC for 10 min
.
-
Extract the reaction mixture with phenol/chloroform as described in
stages 4-6, precipitate DNA as described in steps 7-9 and dissolve in 10-30 µl
of deionized water. This solution should contain single-stranded DNA, suitable
for DNA sequencing, site-specific mutagenesis, differential display, etc.
