Protein Description
Item # 1002

Protein : E.coli DNA Polymerase I
Large (Klenow ) Fragment, 3'-5' exonuclease (-)
Lot # : 080806BM
Concentration : 40,000 units/ml ; 2.93 mg/ml
Package format : 50 µl = 2000 units enzyme. Also included are 1.0 ml dilution buffer and 1.0ml 10X reaction buffer.
10X Reaction Buffer: 500mM KPO4 pH 7.0, 60mM MgCl2, 50mM 2-Mercaptoethanol
1X Dilution Buffer: 50mM KPO4 pH 7.0, 100mM KCl, 1mM DTT, 50% v/v Glycerol
Description : This protein is an N-terminal truncation of E.coli DNA Polymerase I at amino acid #323 . In this construct, the domain containing the 5 ´- 3 ´ exonuclease activity is deleted, leaving the polymerase function intact. In addition two mutations are introduced (D355A and E357A) which abolish the 3 ´- 5 ´ exonuclease activity (1).
Protein Uses : Dideoxy sequencing (2), blunt ending restriction fragments, second strand cDNA synthesis for labeling and for use in mutagenesis protocols (3). The enzyme is extensively utilized for labeling of DNA with nucleotide analogs for use as microarray probes (4).
Properties : The enzyme features strand displacement capability , an error rate of @ 100x10-6 bases and has no intrinsic exonuclease activity.
