Cat #: EG-41

   

Qty   
Product Name Thermus aquaticus MutS DNA mismatch repair protein, 6XHis-Taq-Muts
Size 100 µg
Description

The Taq MutS DNA mismatch protein recognizes heteroduplex DNAs containing mispaired or unpaired bases. This Muts protein binds in vitro to heteroduplex DNAs containing mispaired or unpaired bases over a wide temperature range from 4 to 70 °C and has a thermostable ATPase activity. This thermostable Taq MutS is active at temperature between 0 to 75°C. Since Taq MutS efficiently binds to 1-4 bases deletion (or insertion) and mismatch base pairs of GT, CT and AG, it is useful for detecting these mutations. Mutations can be detected in polyacrylamide gels or on a solid phase such as Ni agarose or beads or magnetic Ni-NTA particles.

Applications
  • Remove mismatch DNA (error correction) from gene synthesis reaction
  • Mutation detection and removal
  • Rapid isothermal SNP detection

Protocol

(example)

1. After first round PCR, purify PCR fragments using Qiagen QIAquick PCR purification kit with elution in dH2O.

2. Dilute PCR product to 250 ng/µl in 10 mM Tris–HCl, pH 7.8, 50 mM NaCl and heat to 95 oC for 5 min followed by cooling at 0.1oC/s to 25 oC.

3. Add binding buffer (20 mM Tris–HCl, pH 7.8, 10 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT and 5% glycerol) to annealed PCR product, adjust DNA concentration to 11.5 ng/µl, add 6XHis-MutS dimers to 950 nM.

4. Incubate the mixture at room temperature for 10 min, then add an equal volume of Ni-NTA beads preequilibrated with 1X binding buffer, and incubate for 30 min at room temperature.

5. Gently spin down beads and save supernatant for subsequent processing (second round PCR, cloning etc).
