T4 RNA Ligase 1, also known as T4 RNA ligase, is an ATP-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the formation of a phosphodiester bond between the 5'-P terminus and the 3'-OH terminus of single-stranded RNA (ssRNA), single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), or mononucleotide molecules. T4 RNA Ligase 1 can perform ligation between ssRNA molecules (most efficiently), between ssDNA and ssRNA (with lower efficiency), and can also be used for ligation between ssDNA molecules (with very low efficiency).
Applications
ssRNA/ssDNA Ligation
5' adapters in miRNA library construction for NGS

Unit Definition |
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to convert 1 nanomole of 5 -[32P] rA16 into a phosphatase-resistant form in 30 minutes at 37°C. |
|
Source |
Recombinant protein expressed by E. coli is derived from the T4 bacteriophage. |

Reaction conditions |
10×T4 RL1 Reaction Buffer: 500 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5 at 25℃), 100 mM MgCl2, 20 mM DTT; Optimal incubation at 37°C. |
|
Inactivation conditions |
Heating at 65°C for 15 minutes or boiling for 2 minutes can inactivate T4 RNA Ligase 1. Alternatively, adding a final concentration of 50 mM EDTA pH 8.0 can terminate the reaction of T4 RNA Ligase 1. |

Figures
• High Ligation efficiency
Yeasen T4 RNA Ligase 1 and T4 RNA Ligase 1 from another brand (Supplier A*) were added at different amounts to ligate a 21-nt ssDNA substrate (1 μM final concentration) and a 26-nt ssRNA substrate (0.5 μM final concentration). Yeasen T4 RNA Ligase 1 efficiently ligated both the ssRNA and ssDNA substrates, with better ligation performance than Supplier A*.

• Significantly lower nicking endonuclease contamination
Figure 2. Nicking endonuclease contamination assay
Note: 30 U of T4 RNA Ligase 1 from Yeasen and Brand N* was incubated with plasmid DNA, and changes in DNA bands were compared by agarose gel electrophoresis. All three lots of Yeasen T4 RNA Ligase 1 showed significantly lower nicking endonuclease contamination than Brand N*.
• No exonuclease contamination
Figure 3. Exonuclease contamination assay
Note: 30 U of T4 RNA Ligase 1 was incubated with substrate DNA, and changes in DNA bands were compared by agarose gel electrophoresis. No exonuclease contamination was detected in any of the three lots of Yeasen T4 RNA Ligase 1.
• No RNase contamination
