a simplified protocol for producing taq dna polymerase in biology laboratory
نویسندگان
چکیده
background: taq dna polymerase is a very important enzyme for molecular biological studies such as dna amplification and dna sequencing by the pcr. it is a standard enzyme that is used in 90% of molecular biology labs today. the aim of this study was to produce taq dna polymerase enzyme in e. coli by a reliable, practical, simple and low cost method.materials and methods: in this study, the taq gene was amplified from the genomic dna of thermus aquaticus and cloned into ptrc99a vector. recombinant plasmid is expressed in e. coli strain top10. product protein is extracted and purified. expression of gene was analyzed by sds-page and gene amplification.results: sds-page showed an approximately 94 kda protein. the density of protein bands in agarose gel electrophoresis indicated that the purified enzyme is more active than the non purified one.conclusion: the protocols described in this paper lead to the production of pure and active enzyme that can be applied in both teaching and research laboratories.

متن کاملA scaled-down and simplified protocol for purifying recombinant Taq DNA polymerase
We previously described in a paper published in BIOS an undergraduate lab activity involving the gene cloning, expression, and purification of Thermus aquaticus (Taq) DNA polymerase, an enzyme used in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Based on the large number of requests for biological materials and questions about the protocols this paper invoked, we explored methods to simplify the protei...
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 کاملSimplified template preparation and improved direct sequencing using Taq polymerase.
A streamlined version of direct dideoxy sequencing is presented that includes template preparation as well as sequencing protocols. The method is used routinely to sequence double-stranded PCR products after minimal purification with one of the primers used in amplification. Either 35S or 32P labeling can be used with equally good results.
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 کاملHeat-mediated activation of affinity-immobilized Taq DNA polymerase.
A novel strategy for heat-mediated activation of recombinant Taq DNA polymerase is described. A serum albumin binding protein tag is used to affinity-immobilize an E. coli-expressed Taq DNA polymerase fusion protein onto a solid support coated with human serum albumin (HSA). Analysis of heat-mediated elution showed that elevated temperatures (> 70 degrees C) were required to significantly relea...
