T4 DNA Ligase

T4 DNA Ligase catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bonds between juxtaposed 5' phosphate and 3' hydroxyl termini in double-stranded DNA using ATP as a coenzyme. Both blunt and cohesive end DNA ligation, as well as single-stranded nick repair of DNA, RNA and DNA/RNA, are possible via the T4 DNA ligase. This enzyme is supplied in a buffer of 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 50 mM KCl, 10 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 0.1 mM EDTA and 50% glycerol.

Unit Definition

One ligation unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that ligates >90% of 6 µg of Hind III-restricted lambda DNA in a 20 µL reaction volume in 30 minutes at 16°C. One unit of the enzyme corresponds to 0.008 Weiss units by the ATP-PPi exchange reaction in 66 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.6), 6.6 mM MgCl2, 10 mM DTT, 66 µM ATP and 3.3 µM [32P]Na4P2O7.
