Human AP Endonuclease

The Human AP Endonuclease (APE) is a multifunctional enzyme involved both in DNA repair and in facilitating the redox state of a number of DNA binding proteins. The DNA repair function of APE serves to cleave DNA at apurinic/apyrimidinic sites forming nicks in DNA which are subsequently repaired by DNA polymerases and ligases. The second, and seemingly unrelated function is the regulation of several transcription factors through the redox stimulation of DNA binding activity. These transcription factors include FOS, JUN, NF-Kb, and p53. The APE related DNA repair activity has been demonstrated to be inactivated by phosphorylation suggesting that this might be the mechanism by which the enzyme switches between the two functions.

Source: Purified from E. coli containing a recombinant plasmid harboring the human APE gene.
 
Unit Definition: One unit is the amount of enzyme required to cleave an AP-site oligonucleotide within an oligonucleotide duplex at the rate of 1 pmol/hour at 37°C.
 
Assay Conditions: 1X RECTM Buffer 7 (10 mM HEPES-KOH (pH 7.4), 100 mM KCl, 10 mM MgCl2), 4pmoles AP site oligonucleotide (Cat# 3851-100-01) labeled with 32P, 4 pmoles Oligo Complement B (Cat# 3849-100-02), and 1 unit human AP endonuclease in a 20 µl reaction volume and incubated for 1 hour at 37°C.
 
Applications:
  • CometAssayTM/FLARETM
  • AP site cleavage
  • Redox activation of transcription factors
  •  
    Storage: Freeze in working aliquots at -20 C or -80 C in a manual defrost freezer to avoid repeated freeze-thawing.
     
    Control: Freeze in working aliquots at -20°C in a manual defrost freezer to avoid repeated freeze-thawing. The enzyme is supplied in buffer containing 50% glycerol.
