Thermostable RNase H specifically recognizes and cleaves the phosphodiester bonds of an RNA strand in an RNA-DNA hybrid while leaving the DNA strand intact. This thermostable nuclease exhibits the same enzymatic properties as E. coli RNase H, but is active at much higher temperatures.

  • Recombinant enzyme supplied with 10X Reaction Buffer
  • Does not digest single or double-stranded DNA
  • Active and stable above 37°C over a broad temperature range, with activity increasing with temperature
  • Requires magnesium chloride for activity
  • Inactivated with proteinase K treatment or addition of excess EDTA
Thermostable RNase H is an endoribonuclease that is functional at high temperatures and selectively hydrolyzes the phosphodiester bonds of an RNA strand in an RNA:DNA hybrid molecule, while leaving the DNA strand intact. In addition, Thermostable RNase H does not degrade single- or double-stranded RNA or DNA. While the Thermostable and E. coli RNase H homologs both exhibit these same endoribonucleolytic properties, the thermostable enzyme displays activity at higher temperatures with optimal activity above 65°C. These properties allow use in applications where higher assay temperatures are desired.
Product Source
An E. coli strain carrying a codon optimized plasmid encoding RNase H from the extreme thermophile Thermus thermophilus.

Properties & Usage

Unit Definition

One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to produce 1 nmol of ribonucleotides from 40 pmol of a fluorescently labeled 25 base pair RNA:DNA hybrid in a total reaction volume of 50 µl in 20 minutes at 50°C.

Notes
  • NOTE: The RNAse H Reaction Buffer contains MgCl2. When using Thermostable RNase H in the presence of the RNA:DNA hybrid of interest and other RNA species that are single-stranded (ie. total RNA) at elevated temperatures, it is advised to limit the reaction time and temperature to reduce metal-mediated breakdown of single-stranded RNA species.
  • Thermostable RNase H can be inactivated by treatment with proteinase K or addition of excess EDTA.
  • Optimal incubation temperature >65°C, up to 95°C.  Thermostable RNase H displays 3-4x more activity at 65°C compared to 37°C.
