Kinetic Analysis of an Efficient DNA-Dependent TNA Polymerase
alpha-l-Threofuranosyl nucleoside triphosphates (tNTPs) are tetrafuranose nucleoside derivatives and potential progenitors of present-day beta-d-2'-deoxyribofuranosyl nucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs). Therminator DNA polymerase, a variant of the 9 degrees N DNA polymerase, is an efficient DNA-directed threosyl nucleic acid (TNA) polymerase. Here we report a detailed kinetic comparison of Thermi...
متن کاملDNA polymerase-mediated DNA synthesis on a TNA template.
TNA, or threose nucleic acid, is capable of Watson-Crick base pairing with DNA, RNA, and TNA; coupled with its chemical simplicity, this suggests that TNA is a possible progenitor of RNA. As an initial step toward developing the molecular tools necessary to investigate the functional capabilities of TNA by in vitro selection, we have screened a variety of DNA polymerases for activity on a TNA t...
متن کاملHigh fidelity TNA synthesis by Therminator polymerase
Therminator DNA polymerase is an efficient DNA-dependent TNA polymerase capable of polymerizing TNA oligomers of at least 80 nt in length. In order for Therminator to be useful for the in vitro selection of functional TNA sequences, its TNA synthesis fidelity must be high enough to preserve successful sequences. We used sequencing to examine the fidelity of Therminator-catalyzed TNA synthesis a...
متن کاملKinetic mechanism of the DNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity of human immunodeficiency virus reverse transcriptase.
The kinetic pathway of DNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity of human immunodeficiency virus reverse transcriptase (HIV RT) as determined by pre-steady-state methods using a defined primer/template is as follows, [formula: see text] where E is RT, Dn,n+1 is primer/template, dNTP is deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate, and PPi is pyrophosphate. The rate-determining step for enzyme turnover in singl...
متن کاملTNA synthesis by DNA polymerases.
Threose nucleic acid (TNA), which has a repeat unit one atom shorter than that of DNA, is capable of Watson-Crick base pairing with DNA, RNA, and TNA. Because of its chemical simplicity, TNA is considered to be a possible progenitor of RNA. As an initial step toward developing the molecular tools necessary to investigate the functional capabilities of TNA by in vitro selection, we have screened...
