Source
: Proteus vulgaris (ATCC 13315)
Compatible ends
: with any blunt end
Isoschizomers
: Not known.
Methylation Sensitivity
: Not sensitive to dam, dcm and CpG methylation
Unit definition :
One Unit is defined as the amount of Pvu II required to completely digest 1 ㎍ of λ DNA in one hour at 37℃ in 50 ㎕ assay mixture.
Typical Reaction Conditions
: Add 5 ㎕ of 10X Reaction Buffer 'B'[final conc.: 6 mM Tris-HCl(pH 7.5 @ 37℃), 6 mM MgCl2, 50 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT], 1~2 ㎕ of DNA(0.5~1.0 ㎍/㎕), 1 ㎕ of Pvu II and 42~43 ㎕ of sterile water in 50 ㎕ reaction mixture. Incubate at 37℃.
Heat Inactivation
: No

Conditions: [10 mM Tris-HCl(pH 8.3 @ 25℃), 50 mM KCl, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 2 pmol of primers, 200 μM dNTP Mix, 2.5 U Taq DNA polymerase and 1 ㎍ of DNA(template or substrate) in 50 ㎕ of reaction volume] After 30 amplication cycles, add 5 units of Pvu II. And then incubate at 37℃ for one hour. Relative activity is determined by gel electrophoresis.
Storage Conditions
: 10 mM Tris-HCl(pH 7.5 @ 25℃), 100 mM KCl, 0.1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT, 0.15% Triton™ X-100, 100 ㎍/㎖ BSA, and 50% glycerol. Store at -20℃.

Quality control
Overdigestion: The same band pattern as a digestion in one unit of Pvu II for one hour was showing after incubation of 1 ㎍ of λ DNA with units of Pvu II for 16 hr in 50 ㎕ of reaction mixture at 37℃ as determined by agarose gel electrophoresis.
Ligation-Recut: After a 10-fold digestion for one hour, % of λ DNA fragments were ligated with T4 DNA ligase at 16℃ and % of the ligated fragments could be recut with Pvu II.

Notes
- Pvu II is not inactivated by heating and therefore should be extracted with phenol/chloroform and once with chloroform,
and then precipitate the DNA with ethanol.
- Pvu II exhibits star activity when used under conditions of low ionic strength, high enzyme concentration,
glycerol concentration > 5%, or pH > 8.0.
