OVERVIEW

OriCiro™ Assembly Kit

01REACTION

In OriCiro™ Assembly Kit, DNA fragments are assembled via overlapping ends having homologous sequences. First, each end of the fragments is digested by exonucleases to expose a single stranded homologous sequence. Then, corresponding fragments having the homologous sequence each other are annealed by enzymes. The kit assembles up to 50 DNA fragments simultaneously in a single isothermal enzymatic reaction. The assembly products are subjected directly to OriCiro™ Amp Kit for selective amplification of your target circular DNA.

02FEATURES

Efficient ligation
by isothermal
enzymatic reactions.

Up to 50 DNA fragments
can
be assembled together
as designed.

Up to
50 kb DNA fragment

03DISTINCTIVE
ADVANTAGES

Ten fragments of 0.6 kb having 40 bp overlapping ends were assembled using OriCiro Assembly kit. The OriCiro kit (OriCiro) showed an assembly product of all ten fragments. DNA fragments before (-) or after (+) the assembly reaction were analyzed in agarose gel electrophoresis.

OriCiro™ Amp Kit

01REACTION

OriCiro™ Amp Kit contains 26 kinds of purified enzymes that are essential for the E. coli chromosome replication cycle. This Kit enables to amplify exponentially circular DNA having oriC (E. coli chromosomal origin) in an isothermal condition even from a single template molecule. Up to 1 μg circular DNA can be yielded as supercoiled form per 10 μl reaction.

01FAQ

Assembly Reaction

Q1

Can I store the assembled products?

A1

Yes, you can store them at 4℃ for a few days. For further long-term storage, add final 5 mM EDTA before storage at -20℃. The following OriCiro Amp Kit tolerates up to final 0.5 mM EDTA.

Q2

Do I need purification of the assembly products before the OriCiro amplification?

A2

No. Add the assembly reaction (1 µl) directly into OriCiro Amp mixture (total 10 µl). OriCiro Amp selectively amplify circular DNA generated even slightly in the assembly reaction. The assembly intermediates (linear forms) are not amplified.

Q3

Can I use DNA fragments digested by restriction enzyme or CRISPR-Cas9?

A3

Yes.

Q4

No assembled products is observed.

A4

In certain conditions, the assembled product quantity may not be large enough to be observed after assembly reaction. It is highly recommended to perform following amplification reaction.

Amplification Reaction

Q5

Can I store the amplified products?

A5

Yes, you can store them at 4℃ for a few days. For further long-term storage, add final 20 mM EDTA before storage at -20℃.

Q6

How can I analyze the amplified products by electrophoresis?

A6

Dilute the 0.5 µl of products with 5 µl of Loading Buffer (25 mM Tris-HCl pH8.0, 25 mM EDTA, 0.1% SDS, 5% glycerol, 0.1% bromophenol blue), followed by agarose gel electrophoresis. The supercoiled products will be observed.

Q7

Extra bands are observed in agarose gel electrophoresis.

A7-1

DNA contamination.
Put negative control sample (reaction without DNA) for the amplification reaction. OriCiro Amp Kit amplifies DNA even from a single contamination molecule. To identify and remove DNA contamination, monoclonal amplification from a single DNA molecule following limiting dilution is useful.

A7-2

Concatemer DNA
When the amplified DNA size is less than 4 kbp, extra bands by concatemer DNA may appear. The situation may improve by shortening the reaction time.

Q8

No assembled products is observed.

A8-1

Please check the DNA size is less than 50 kb. If the target DNA size exceeds 50 kb, the amplification requires a different protocol than described in this manual. Please contact us at product@oriciro.com.

A8-2

The assembly reaction will be inhibited when salt and/or EDTA concentration of the DNA sample is too high.

A8-3

Increase the amplification reaction temperature up to 37℃.

A8-4

Increase the amplification reaction time up to 18 hours.

A8-5

Increase the template DNA amount added into the amplification reaction.

A8-6

Pre-incubate the amplification reaction mixture at 30℃ for 15 minutes just before adding the template DNA.

Q9

Can I reamplify the amplified products with OriCiro Amp Kit?

A9

Yes, Dilute the amplified products (~10-6), prepare new amplification reaction mixture and incubate again. We checked the amplified products can reamplify continuously more than 10 times.

Q10

Can I use a plasmid having a ColE1-type origin as a template?

A10

It cannot be used a plasmid only having a ColE1-type origin, the optimized oriC sequence is essential for OriCiro Amp Kit. If a plasmid has both oriC and ColE1-type origins, the amplification reaction is not affected by the ColE1 type origin.
