Polymerase enzyme with improved nucleotide incorporation and no exonuclease activity
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11866741B2) discloses a novel polymerase enzyme with specific mutations that result in little to no 3'-5' exonuclease activity. The enzyme, sharing at least 95% amino acid sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:1, includes mutations L408S, Y409G, and P410S. Additionally, the polymerase may belong to the genera of Pyrococcus and contain further mutations like D141A, E143A, and A485L, enhancing its functionality for nucleotide incorporation.
Moreover, the patent covers methods for utilizing this polymerase in DNA sequencing, labeling, primer extension, and nucleic acid amplification. By incorporating nucleotides modified at the 3' sugar hydroxyl with larger substituents, the polymerase demonstrates increased efficiency in primer extension reactions. The patent also includes the nucleic acid molecule encoding the polymerase, an expression vector, and a comprehensive kit for practical applications, highlighting the potential for advancements in genetic research and biotechnology with this innovative enzyme.
