Taq DNA Polymerase Mutants and 2'-Modified Sugar Recognition.
Chemical modifications to DNA, such as 2' modifications, are expected to increase the biotechnological utility of DNA; however, these modified forms of DNA are limited by their inability to be effectively synthesized by DNA polymerase enzymes. Previous efforts have identified mutant Thermus aquaticus DNA polymerase I (Taq) enzymes capable of recognizing 2'-modified DNA nucleotides. While these ...
متن کاملDNA sequencing using Taq polymerase.
Three DNA polymerases, namely E.coli DNA polymerase 1 (Klenow), reverse transcriptase and T7 DNA polymerase (sequenase), are commonly used for DNA sequencing by the chain termination method of Sanger and colleagues [1). However, the secondary structure of the DNA template can impede the progress of all three polymerases. I have developed a novel procedure in which the thermostable polymerase of...
متن کاملCold-sensitive mutants of Taq DNA polymerase provide a hot start for PCR.
Although the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus grows optimally at 70 degrees C and cannot grow at moderate temperatures, its DNA polymerase I has significant activity at 20-37 degrees C. This activity is a bane to some PCRs, since it catalyzes non-specific priming. We report mutations of Klentaq (an N-terminal deletion variant) DNA polymerase that have markedly reduced activity at 37 deg...
متن کاملData of expression and purification of recombinant Taq DNA polymerase
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique is widely used in many experimental conditions, and Taq DNA polymerase is critical in PCR process. In this article, the Taq DNA polymerase expression plasmid is reconstructed and the protein product is obtained by rapid purification, ("Rapid purification of high-activity Taq DNA polymerase" (Pluthero, 1993 [1]), "Single-step purification of a thermostab...
متن کاملMutants of Taq DNA polymerase resistant to PCR inhibitors allow DNA amplification from whole blood and crude soil samples
Potent PCR inhibitors in blood and soil samples can cause false negative results from PCR-based clinical and forensic tests. We show that the effect of these inhibitors is primarily upon Taq DNA polymerase, since mutational alteration of the polymerase can overcome the inhibition to the extent that no DNA purification is now required. An N-terminal deletion (Klentaq1) is some 10-100-fold inhibi...
