For details on NEB"s quality controls for DNA ligases, visit our Ligase Quality page.A thermotolerant variant of T4 DNA Ligase, Hi-T4™ DNA Ligase catalyzes the formation of a phosphodiester bond between juxtaposed 5´ phosphate and 3´ hydroxyl termini in duplex DNA or RNA and is designed to function at higher temperatures than wild type T4 DNA Ligase. Hi-T4 DNA Ligase will join blunt end and cohesive end termini as well as repair single-stranded nicks in duplex DNA, RNA or DNA/RNA hybrids at temperatures as high as 50ºC.Figure 1: Hi-T4 DNA Ligase displays increased thermotolerance compared to T4 DNA Ligase.400 units of T4 DNA Ligase (NEB #M0202) or Hi-T4 DNA Ligase (NEB #M2622) were pre-incubated at 45°C in 1X T4 DNA Ligase Buffer in the absence of DNA substrate for the indicated time. Residual ligase activity was tested by adding 0.12 μM HindIII (cohesive end) fluorescently-labeled fragments and incubating at 37°C for 15 minutes. Ligation products were detected by capillary electrophoresis.T4 DNA Ligase steadily loses activity at 45°C, whereas Hi-T4 DNA Ligase retains full activity on a cohesive end substrate, even after 72 hours at 45°C.Figure 2: Hi-T4 DNA Ligase withstands higher temperature cycling than T4 DNA Ligase.1,000 units of T4 DNA Ligase (NEB #M0202) or Hi-T4 DNA Ligase (NEB #M2622) in (1X) T4 DNA Ligase Buffer were cycled in the presence of DNA at 42°C (A) or 50°C (B) for 5 minutes followed by 16°C for 5 minutes in the presence of 1 μg pBR322. Following the indicated number of cycles (0, 15, 30, 45 or 60), ligase activity was tested on a fluorescently-labeled, cohesive-end substrate (HindIII overhang, 25°C for 10 minutes). Ligation products were detected by capillary electrophoresis. Remaining ligase activity (relative to 0 cycle data point) is shown.A. T4 DNA Ligase gradually loses activity after cycling between 16°C and 42°C (gold line, A), while Hi-T4 DNA Ligase maintains activity after 60 cycles between 16°C and 42°C (orange line, A).B. T4 DNA Ligase is completely inactivated after only 15 cycles between 16°C and 50°C (gold line, B), while Hi-T4 DNA Ligase maintains ~60% activity after 60 cycles between 16°C and 50°C (orange line, B).
