CONTROLLED TEMPLATE-INDEPENDENT SYNTHESIS OF NUCLEIC ACIDS USING THERMOSTABLE ENZYMES
The invention relates to methods for template-independent synthesis of nucleic acids, comprising iteratively contacting an initiator sequence comprising a 3′-end nucleotide with a free 3′-hydroxyl group, with at least one nucleoside triphosphate, or a combination of nucleoside triphosphates, in the...

Summary: | The invention relates to methods for template-independent synthesis of nucleic acids, comprising iteratively contacting an initiator sequence comprising a 3′-end nucleotide with a free 3′-hydroxyl group, with at least one nucleoside triphosphate, or a combination of nucleoside triphosphates, in the presence of an archaeal DNA primase or a functionally active fragment and/or variant thereof, thereby covalently binding said nucleoside triphosphate to the free 3-hydroxyl group of the 3-end nucleotide. It also relates to isolated functionally active fragments of archaeal DNA primases which are capable of template-independent terminal nucleotidyl transferase activity but are devoid of a template-independent primase activity. |
