DNA sequencing with Thermus aquaticus DNA polymerase and direct sequencing of polymerase chain reaction-amplified DNA.
The highly thermostable DNA polymerase from Thermus aquaticus (Taq) is ideal for both manual and automated DNA sequencing because it is fast, highly processive, has little or no 3'-exonuclease activity, and is active over a broad range of temperatures. Sequencing protocols are presented that produce readable extension products greater than 1000 bases having uniform band intensities. A combinati...
متن کاملAccuracy of replication in the polymerase chain reaction. Comparison between Thermotoga maritima DNA polymerase and Thermus aquaticus DNA polymerase.
For certain applications of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), it may be necessary to consider the accuracy of replication. The breakthrough that made PCR user friendly was the commercialization of Thermus aquaticus (Taq) DNA polymerase, an enzyme that would survive the high temperatures needed for DNA denaturation. The development of enzymes with an inherent 3' to 5' exonuclease proofreading...
متن کاملCloning and Expression of Thermus Aquaticus DNA Polymerase Gene, Using a Thermo-Inducible Expression Vector
DNA polymerase gene from Thermus aquaticus strain YT1 was amplified using VENTTM DNA po-lymerase and cloned under the control of X.PR promoter and expression was induced by a shift in tern perature. The culture was then sonicated, and after centrifugation the lysate was treated with polyethyleneimine followed by a salting-out step. Finally the protein was precipitated with ammonium sulfate and...
متن کاملHigh fidelity DNA synthesis by the Thermus aquaticus DNA polymerase
We demonstrate that despite lacking a 3'----5' proofreading exonuclease, the Thermus aquaticus (Taq) DNA polymerase can catalyze highly accurate DNA synthesis in vitro. Under defined reaction conditions, the error rate per nucleotide polymerized at 70 degrees C can be as low as 10(-5) for base substitution errors and 10(-6) for frameshift errors. The frequency of mutations produced during a sin...
متن کاملSPECIFIC AMPLIFICATION OF ASPERGILLUS FUMlGATUS DNA BY POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION
Invasive aspergillosis (1 is a life-threatening condition in immunocompromised patients. An early diagnosis is of great importance because early treatment may resolve this potentially fatal infection. Recently, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been used successfully in detecting specific DNA of several pathogen. In this study, nested PCR was used to detect DNA specific for A!.pergiflus s...
