Effects of a modified dye-labeled nucleotide spacer arm on incorporation by thermophilic DNA polymerases.

چکیده
The ability of eight commercially available thermophilic DNA polymerases to sequentially incorporate fluorescently labeled nucleotides sequentially was analyzed by a gel based primer extension assay. Cy5-dUTP or a variant nucleotide in which the linker had been lengthened by 14 atoms between the dye and the nucleobase were compared. We found that the Cy5-dUTP with a longer linker resulted in longer primer extension lengths. Furthermore, some of the assayed polymerases are capable of extending the primer to the full or near full length of 30 nucleotides using dye-labeled nucleotides exclusively.

Incorporation of 4'-C-aminomethyl-2'-O-methylthymidine into DNA by thermophilic DNA polymerases.
The dual modified nucleotide 4'-C-aminomethyl-2'-O-methylthymidine 5'-triphosphate was synthesized and enzymatically incorporated into DNA by the thermophilic DNA polymerases Pfu and Therminator III. The dual ribose modification imparted increased exonuclease resistance to DNA compared to the well-known 2'-O-methyl modification.
متن کاملIncorporation of reporter-labeled nucleotides by DNA polymerases.
The incorporation of fluorescently labeled nucleotides into DNA by DNA polymerases has been used extensively for tagging genes and for labeling DNA. However, we lack studies comparing polymerase efficiencies for incorporating different fluorescently labeled nucleotides. We analyzed the incorporation of fluorescent deoxynucleoside triphosphates by 10 different DNA polymerases, representing a cro...

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have revolutionized modern biological and biomedical research. The engines responsible for this innovation are DNA polymerases; they catalyze the biochemical reaction for deriving template sequence information. In fact, DNA polymerase has been a cornerstone of DNA sequencing from the very beginning. Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I proteolytic (Kle...
متن کاملAmpliTaq DNA polymerase, FS dye-terminator sequencing: analysis of peak height patterns.
Taq DNA polymerases in which the phenylalanine is substituted by a tyrosine at position 667 (Taq F667Y) are members of a new class of DNA polymerases that incorporate chain-terminating dideoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (ddNTPs) much more efficiently than the wild-type Taq DNA polymerase. Improved incorporation of ddNTPs into DNA during cycle sequencing using AmpliTaq DNA polymerase, FS (Taq-F...
متن کاملMeasurement of incorporation kinetics of non-fluorescent native nucleotides by DNA polymerases using fluorescence microscopy
We describe a method for measuring the single-turnover incorporation kinetics of non-fluorescent native nucleotides by DNA polymerases. Time-lapse total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy is used to directly measure the kinetics of single-base nucleotide incorporation into primed DNA templates covalently attached to the surface of a glass coverslip using a fixed ratio of a nativ...
