Abstract excerpt
Processivity of T7 DNA polymerase relies on the coupling of its cofactor Escherichia coli thioredoxin (Trx) to gene 5 protein (gp5) at 1:1 stoichiometry. We designed a coexpression system for gp5 and Trx that allows in vivo reconstitution of subunits into a functional enzyme. The properties of this enzyme were compared with the activity of commercial T7 DNA polymerase. Examination of purified enzymes by sodium...
