Cloning, Purification, and Characterization of a New DNA Polymerase from a Hyperthermophilic Archaeon, Thermococcus sp. NA1
Genomic analysis of Thermococcus sp. NA1 revealed the presence of a 3,927-base-pair (bp) family B-type DNA polymerase gene, TNA1_pol. TNA1_pol, without its intein, was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified using metal affinity chromatography, and characterized. TNA1_pol activity was optimal at...

Zusammenfassung: | Genomic analysis of Thermococcus sp. NA1 revealed the presence of a 3,927-base-pair (bp) family B-type DNA polymerase gene, TNA1_pol. TNA1_pol, without its intein, was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified using metal affinity chromatography, and characterized. TNA1_pol activity was optimal at pH 7.5 and 75℃. TNA1_pol was highly thermostable, with a half-life of 3.5 h at 100℃ and 12.5 h at 95℃. Polymerase chain reaction parameters of TNA1_pol such as error-rate, processivity, and extension rate were measured in comparison with rTaq, Pfu, and KOD DNA polymerases. |
