Product Description
A 21960 is able to inhibit the synapse formation between resolvase and two directly repeated res sites, and subsequently block the site-specific recombination reaction. The Tn3-encoded resolvase protein promotes a site-specific recombination reaction between two directly repeated copies of the recombination site res. A21960 does not affect resolvase binding and bending of the DNA but inhibit synapse formation between resolvase and two directly repeated res sites.


A21960 is an inhibitor of the Tn3 resolvase-mediated site-specific recombination reaction. It belongs to a class of inhibitors that do not affect resolvase binding to the res site or DNA bending but inhibit synapse formation between resolvase and two directly repeated res sites. [1]
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
A21960 inhibited resolvase-mediated site-specific recombination in vitro with a 50% inhibition point at approximately 1 mg/ml and complete inhibition at 5 mg/ml, as assessed using the model cointegrate plasmid πres^2 and purified resolvase protein. [1]
A21960 did not inhibit EcoRI cleavage, indicating specificity for resolvase. [1]
In nitrocellulose filter binding assays and DNase I footprinting assays, A21960 did not block resolvase binding to the res site even at concentrations that completely inhibited recombination. [1]
A21960 inhibited the formation of resolvase-res synaptic complexes (α-type structures) as detected by glutaraldehyde crosslinking and BamHI cleavage. [1]
In topoisomerase I relaxation experiments, A21960 caused a decrease in the linking number difference (ΔLk) protected by resolvase: at 1 mg/ml and 2 mg/ml, ΔLk was -2 (compared to -3 in the absence of inhibitor), and at 3 mg/ml, ΔLk was -1, indicating that synapsis was blocked but resolvase binding and DNA wrapping at unsynapsed res sites still occurred, protecting one negative supercoil. [1]
ln Vivo

Enzyme Assay
The standard resolvase recombination reaction was performed at 37°C for 15 min in a buffer containing 150 mM NaCl, 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 20 mM MgCl2, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 1% DMSO, 0.4 μg of πres^2 plasmid DNA, and 2 μg of resolvase. Inhibitor A21960 was preincubated with resolvase at 4°C for 1 min before adding DNA. Reactions were stopped and analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis. [1]
Glutaraldehyde crosslinking assays to detect synaptic complexes: Resolvase was allowed to bind to res^2 DNA for 5 min at 15°C in buffer containing 150 mM NaCl, 20 mM triethanolamine-HCl (pH 7.5), and 5 mM EDTA. Freshly diluted 8% glutaraldehyde was added to a final concentration of 0.2% and incubated for 5 min at 15°C. Complexes were purified by filtration through Sepharose CL-4B minicolumns and then cleaved with BamHI for 10 min at 37°C. Products were electrophoresed through 0.8% agarose gels. [1]
Topoisomerase I relaxation experiments: Glutaraldehyde-fixed synaptic complexes were treated with wheat germ topoisomerase I for 15 min at 15°C. Reactions were stopped by adding SDS to 0.2% final volume. Samples were electrophoresed through 1.2% agarose gels in TBE buffer containing 1.2 μg chloroquine/ml. [1]

Additional Infomation
A21960 was a generous gift from Abbott Laboratories. [1] It acts by blocking synapse formation between res sites without affecting resolvase binding or DNA bending. [1]

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
