The exo-Klenow fragment is used in some fluorescent labeling reactions for microarray, and also in dA and dT tailing, an important step in the process of ligating DNA adapters to DNA fragments, frequently used in preparing DNA libraries for Next-Gen sequencing. This form of the enzyme is called the exo- Klenow fragment. This results in forms of the enzyme being expressed that retain 5' → 3' polymerase activity, but lack any exonuclease activity (5' → 3' or 3' → 5'). This problem can be overcome by introducing mutations in the gene that encodes Klenow. In some situations, the 3 -> 5 exonuclease activity of Klenow fragment is either undesirable or not necessary. Just as the 5' → 3' exonuclease activity of DNA polymerase I from E.coli can be undesirable, the 3' → 5' exonuclease activity of Klenow fragment can also be undesirable for certain applications. The Klenow fragment was also the original enzyme used for greatly amplifying segments of DNA in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) process, before being replaced by thermostable enzymes such as Taq polymerase. Filling in receded 3' ends of DNA fragments to make 5' overhang blunt Klenow Fragment, exo- is not recommended for DNA blunting reactions prior to DNA ligation since it frequently adds one or more extra nucleotides to the.
Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from single-stranded templates.The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as: coli makes it unsuitable for many applications, the Klenow fragment, which lacks this activity, can be very useful in research. 5' → 3' polymerase activity, and 3' → 5' exonuclease activity).īecause the 5' → 3' exonuclease activity of DNA polymerase I from E. coli is cleaved by subtilisin retains the 5' → 3' exonuclease activity but does not have the other two activities exhibited by the Klenow fragment (i.e. Synthesis of probes by random primers labeling method (2). Applications: Fill-in of 5´ overhangs (1). The other smaller fragment formed when DNA polymerase I from E. DNA Polymerase I, Large (Klenow) Fragment is a DNA polymerase enzyme that lacks the 5 to 3 exonuclease activity of intact DNA Polymerase I, but does exhibit the 5 to 3 DNA polymerase and 3 to 5 exonuclease activities. Do not use > 1 unit of enzyme/g of DNA Do not incubate for > 15 minutes Do not incubate at temperatures > 12C (for T4 DNA Polymerase, NEB M0203) or > 24C (for Klenow, NEB M0212) Make sure to add a sufficient amount of dNTPs to the reaction (33 M each dNTP for DNA Polymerase I, Large (Klenow) Fragment, NEB M0210 and 100 M each. First reported in 1970, it retains the 5' → 3' polymerase activity and the 3’ → 5’ exonuclease activity for removal of precoding nucleotides and proofreading, but loses its 5' → 3' exonuclease activity. coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin. The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA polymerase I from E. Functional domains in the Klenow Fragment (left) and DNA Polymerase I (PDB).
