RNase Inhibitor, Murine, specifically inhibits RNases A, B and C.

  • Improved resistance to oxidation, compared to human/porcine RNase inhibitor
  • Ideal for reactions where low DTT concentrations are required (e.g., Real-time PCR)
  • Isolated from a recombinant source
  • Tested for the absence of DNases and RNases

RNase Inhibitor, Murine is a 50 kDa recombinant protein of murine origin. The inhibitor specifically inhibits RNases A, B and C. It inhibits RNases by binding noncovalently in a 1:1 ratio with high affinity. It is not effective against RNase 1, RNase T1, S1 Nuclease, RNase H or RNase from Aspergillus. In addition, no inhibition of polymerase activity is observed when RNase Inhibitor is used with Taq DNA Polymerase, AMV or M-MuLV Reverse Transcriptases, or Phage RNA Polymerases (SP6, T7, or T3).

Recombinant murine RNase inhibitor does not contain the pair of cysteines identified in the human version that is very sensitive to oxidation, which causes inactivation of the inhibitor (1). As a result, RNase Inhibitor, Murine has significantly improved resistance to oxidation compared to the human/porcine RNase inhibitors, and is stable at low DTT concentrations (less than 1 mM). This makes it ideal for reactions where high concentration DTT is adverse to the reaction (eg. Real-time RT-PCR).

Properties & Usage

Unit Definition

One unit is defined as the amount of Murine RNase Inhibitor required to inhibit the activity of 5 ng of RNase A by 50%. Activity is measured by the inhibition of hydrolysis of cytidine 2', 3'-cyclic monophosphate by RNase A.

Storage Buffer

20 mM HEPES-KOH
50 mM KCl
8 mM DTT
50% Glycerol
pH 7.6 @ 25°C



Notes
  • Since ribonucleases typically retain activity under denaturing conditions, care must be taken to avoid denaturing RNase Inhibitor molecules which have complexed with a ribonuclease. To prevent the release of active ribonuclease, temperatures greater than 50°C and high concentrations of urea or other denaturing agents should be avoided.
  • The recommended concentration of RNase Inhibitor in a reaction is 1 unit/μl. During assembly of a reaction, RNase Inhibitor should be added before other components that are a possible source of RNase contamination (i.e. enzymes, plasmid from a mini prep.)

Tech Tips
  • The inhibitor is a 50KD protein. It will be inactivated in conditions that will denature proteins.
  • We recommend using the inhibitor at 1U/ul in your reaction.
  • The inhibitor should be added in a reaction before other components that are a possible source of RNase contamination.
  • The inhibitor should be used below 50°C.
