Taq DNA Polymerase from Thermus aquaticus has been used in the process of DNA extraction (during gene amplification and sequencing). It has been used in genotyping. It has also been used in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to study the constitutive production of epithelial neutrophil activating peptide 78 (ENA-78) and interleukin-8 (IL-8).
일반 설명
Klenow enzyme is the large, C-terminal fragment (Mr 76,000) of E.coli DNA polymerase I, which can be obtained by subtilisin treatment of intact DNA polymerase I. It retains the 5′→3′ polymerase and the 3′→5′ exonuclease activities of intact DNA polymerase I, but lacks the 5′→3′ exonuclease activity of the native enzyme. The enzyme catalyzes the addition of mononucleotides from deoxynucleoside-5′-triphosphates to the 3′-hydroxyl terminus of a primer/template DNA. This property is used to synthesize DNA complementary to single-stranded DNA templates. Klenow Enzyme is formed by subtilisin treatment of DNA polymerase I.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Taq polymerase catalyzes oligonucleotide primer-driven, DNA template dependent incorporation of dNTPs into complimentary DNA strands. It displays both 5′ to 3′ polymerase and exonuclease activities.
