T3 DNA Ligase will ligate these substrates:

dsDNA

(1)

Nicked DNA/RNA






1. Note: Trace amounts of this substrate can be ligated with overnight incubation, and ligation is further enhanced in Stick Together DNA Ligase Buffer.  Please note that Blunt TA Ligase Mastermix is the recommended ligase product for this substrate.

    DNA Ligation
T3 DNA Ligase is an ATP-dependent ds DNA ligase from bacteriophage T3. It will catalyze the formation of a phosphodiester bond between adjacent 5´ phosphate and 3´ hydroxyl groups of duplex DNA. Cohesive ends, blunt ends, and nick sealing can all be efficiently catalyzed by T3 DNA Ligase (1). As with T4 DNA Ligase, blunt end ligation is enhanced by the addition of PEG 6000 to the reaction (2). T3 DNA Ligase exhibits a higher tolerance (2-fold) for NaCl in the reaction compared to T4 DNA Ligase, making the enzyme a versatile choice for in vitro molecular biology protocols requiring DNA ligase activity.
Product Source

Notes
  • ATP is an essential cofactor for the reaction. This contrasts with E. coli DNA Ligase which requires NAD.
  • T3 DNA Ligase is also active in buffers without PEG 6000, such as our T4 DNA Ligase Buffer and NEBuffers, for applications in which PEG 6000 is detrimental. Please remember to supplement the reaction with 1 mM ATP (final concentration). In these buffers T3 DNA Ligase exhibits an approximately 10-fold reduction in activity. In applications where a high concentration of NaCl needs to be maintained, we suggest using a reaction buffer without PEG 6000.
  • Standard vector + insert ligations in 10–20 μl reaction volumes are usually performed for 30 minutes at 25°C.
  • Dilution of enzyme for long-term storage at -20°C should be performed with the storage buffer containing 50% glycerol. Diluent A (NEB #B8001) can also be used for those application in which BSA, present in Diluent A, will not interfere.
  • Heating a reaction containing T3 DNA Ligase at 65°C for 10 minutes will inactivate the enzyme. However, the reaction needs to be performed in a buffer without PEG. Do not heat inactivate if there is PEG in the reaction buffer, as transformation will be inhibited.
