Application

Micrococcal Nuclease can be used for the digestion of chromatin to identify the location of nucleosomes.
Nuclease micrococcal from Staphylococcus aureus has been used in a study to monitor hybridization reactions with DNA. It has also been used in a study to investigate the optimal conditions for assay of staphylococcal nuclease.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Hydrolyzes 5′-phosphodiester bonds of DNA.

Other Notes

Note: One μmolar unit = approx. 85 A260 units, where an A260 unit is equivalent to a ΔA260 of 1.0 in 30 min at pH 8.8 at 37 °C in a 3.55 mL reaction volume. Light path = 1 cm.

Eukaryotic genomes are packed into chromatin, whose basic repeating unit is the nucleosome. Nucleosome positioning is a widely researched area. A common experimental procedure to determine nucleosome positions involves the use of micrococcal nuclease (MNase). Here, we show that the

Numerous chromatin remodeling enzymes position nucleosomes in eukaryotic cells. Aside from these factors, transcription, DNA sequence, and statistical positioning of nucleosomes also shape the nucleosome landscape. The precise contributions of these processes remain unclear due to their functional redundancy in
