Source
: Arthrobacter luteus ATCC 21606
Compatible ends
: with any blunt end
Isoschizomers
: AluB I
Methylation Sensitivity
: Not sensitive to dam, dcm and CpG methylation
Unit definition :
One Unit is defined as the amount of Alu I 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 Alu I and 42~43 ㎕ of sterile water in 50 ㎕ reaction mixture. Incubate at 37℃.
Heat Inactivation
: 65℃ for 20 min.

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 Alu I. And then incubate at 37℃ for one hour. Relative activity is determined by gel electrophoresis.
Storage Conditions

Quality control
Overdigestion: The same band pattern as a digestion in one unit of Alu I for one hour was showing after incubation of 1 ㎍ of λ DNA with units of Alu I 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 Alu I.
