Thermostable DNA polymerase from carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans

摘要

A DNA polymerase from a thermophilic eubacterium is provided. The DNA polymerase shows magnesium ion dependent reverse transcriptase activity and 3'-5' exonuclease activity. The invention also includes recombinant plasmids and transformed host cells capable of producing the enzyme. The enzyme is classified into class EC 2.7.7.7., a DNA nucleotidyl transferase DNA-directed type.
