Nuclease S7 has been used in ribonuclease selection process for ribosome profiling.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nuclease S7 is an endonuclease that mainly cleaves single-stranded substrates. It also cleaves double-stranded DNA or RNA. It cleaves the 5′-phosphodiester bonds of RNA and DNA to yield 3′-mononucleotides and oligonucleotides. Activity of the enzyme is dependent on Ca2+ and can be completely inactivated by the addition of EDTA. Nuclease S7 cleavage is highly specific to AT rich region than GC on the DNA.

Unit Definition

One unit releases a sufficient amount of acid-soluble oligonucleotides to produce an increase of 1.0 at A260.

Storage and Stability

Store unopened reagent at 2-8 °C; when diluted to 1 mg/mL, store at -15 to -25 °C.

Other Notes

For life science research only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Chloroplast genomes encode ∼ 37 proteins that integrate into the thylakoid membrane. The mechanisms that target these proteins to the membrane are largely unexplored. We used ribosome profiling to provide a comprehensive, high-resolution map of ribosome positions on chloroplast mRNAs
