BackgroundT4 RNA Ligase 1 is an ATP-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bonds between the 5'-P and 3'-OH ends of single-stranded RNA, single-stranded DNA, or single nucleotides, either intermolecular or intramolecular. It is suitable for the connection of single-stranded RNA molecules and the 5' end junction constructed by miRNA libraries in NGS. Labeled with RNA 3 'terminal; Cyclization of oligonucleotides; tRNA modification; In 5'-RACE (Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends) assay, it is used for oligonucleotides to bind to single-stranded cDNA; and the introduction of unnatural amino acids into proteins. ComponentsName | Storage Temperature | quantity | concentration | T4 RNA Ligase 1 | -20 ℃ | 100 ul or 500 µl | 10 U/µl | 10*Reaction Buffer | -20 ℃ | 1 ml | 10 X | Adenosine 5'-Triphosphate (ATP) | -20 ℃ | 1 ml | 10 mM | PEG8000 (RNase free) | -20 ℃ | 1 ml | 50% |
Protocol1. Set up a 20 μl reaction as follows: Reagent | Volume | Final Concentration | 10 * Reaction Buffer | 2 ul | 1 X | Single-stranded RNA with 5´P and 3´OH ends (200 ng-1 µg) | 1 ul | 10-50 ng/ul | 50% PEG8000 | 4 ul | 10% | 1mM ATP | 1 ul | 50 µM | 40 μ/ul Rnase inhibitor | 0.5ul | 1 U/µl | 10 U/µl T4 RNA Ligase 1 | 1ul | 0.5 U/µl | DEPC-treated Water | Up to 20ul | - |
2. Incubate at 37°C for 1-2 hours. For longer oligos, overnight incubation at 16°C for 16h may improve yield. 3. Incubate at 65°C for 15min to terminate the reaction. GuidelinesPlease avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Unit DefinitionOne unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to convert 1 nanomole of 5´-[32P]rA16 into a phosphatase-resistant form in 30 minutes at 37°C. bio-equip.cn
