    Endonuclease IV (Nfo)
    Endonuclease IV (Nfo) from Escherichia coli is a 32-kD metalloprotein that aids in the repair of damaged DNA. The enzyme functions both as an apurinic/apyrimidinic nuclease (1) and as a 3′-terminal di-esterase (1-4). Its 3′-terminal di-esterase activity is important in the repair of DNA strand breaks generated by oxidation and ionic radiation (2, 3). In such events, the strand breaks terminate with either a 3′ phosphate or a deoxyribose fragment, preventing repair by DNA polymerase I or DNA ligase. Endonuclease IV removes the blocking groups, leaving a free 3′-hydroxyl terminus. This enzyme does not have detectable associated exonuclease or DNA N-glycosylase activity (1).

    Ar.A4 Agrobacterium Chemically Competent Cells
    Transformation Protocol Use this procedure to transform Ar.A4 Chemically Competent Agrobacterium cells. Do not use these cells for electrocompetent transformation.
    1. Place microcentrifuge tubes on ice.
    2. Remove competent cells from the -80 °C freezer and thaw completely on wet ice (10-15 minutes).
    3. Aliquot 1 µl (10pg -1 µg) of DNA to the chilled microcentrifuge tubes on ice.
    4. When the cells are thawed, add 50μl of cells to each DNA tube on ice and mix gently by tapping 4-5 times. For the pIG7spe control, add 1 µl of (500 pg/µl) DNA to the 50 µl of cells on ice. Mix well by tapping. Do not pipette up and down or vortex to mix, this can harm cells and decrease transformation efficiency.
    5. Keep tubes on ice for 5 minutes, and then transfer to liquid nitrogen for 5 minutes.
    6. Incubate tubes for additional 5 minutes in 37°C water bath.
    7. Immediately add 950µl of Recovery Medium or any other medium of choice to the tube, pipette up and down three times to re-suspend the cells.
    8. Incubate tubes at 30 °C for 3 hours at 200 RPM.
    9. Dilute the cells as appropriate then spread 20-200 μl cells onto a pre-warmed selective plate. For the pIG7spe control, you may plate 100 μl of undiluted transformation mix onto a YT plate containing 100 μg/ml spectinomycin. Use a sterilized spreader or autoclaved ColiRoller™ plating beads to spread evenly.
    10. Incubate the plates for 2 – 3 days at 30 °C.
