The Uracil Glycosylase Inhibitor (UGI) of Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage PBS1 is a small protein (9.5 kDa) which inhibits E. coli uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) as well as UDG from other species. Inhibition of UDG occurs by reversible protein binding with a 1:1 UGD:UGI stoichiometry. UGI is capable of dissociating UDG-DNA complexes.

    • Properties & Usage

      Unit Definition

      One unit of UGI is defined as the amount of protein required to inhibit one unit of E. coli UDG in 1 hour at 37°C in a total reaction volume of 50 µl. One unit of UDG is the amount of enzyme which will catalyze the release of 60 pmol of uracil per minute from double stranded, uracil-containing DNA.

    • Product Notes

      1. Since UDG remains partially active following heat treatment at 95°C, UGI can be used to prevent subsequent degradation of product DNA.
      2. Works only on E. coli UDG (NEB https://www.neb.com/en/#M0280).  
      3. Use equal or more units of UGI than units of UDG in the original reaction.
      4. Active in NEBuffers 1-4.  (NEB https://www.neb.com/en/#B7001, NEB https://www.neb.com/en/#B7002, NEB https://www.neb.com/en/#B7003, NEB https://www.neb.com/en/#B7004)
      5. UGI is extremely thermostable, retaining > 95% activity after boiling for 10 minutes.
