Klenow Fragment (3'→5' exo-)

DNA Pol I, Large (Klenow) fragment was originally derived as a proteolytic product of E. coli DNA polymerase. It retains polymerase activity, but lacks both 5’ —> 3’ and 3' —> 5’ exonuclease activity.

Generates probes using random primers
Dideoxy sequencing
Random priming labeling
Moderate strand displacement activity
Not suitable for generating blunt ends

Product Information

Klenow Fragment (3´→ 5´ exo-) is an N-terminal truncation of DNA Polymerase I which retains polymerase activity, but has lost the 5´→ 3´ exonuclease activity and has mutations (D355A, E357A) which abolish the 3´→ 5´ exonuclease activity (1).

Highlights

Isolated from a recombinant source
Generates probes using random primers
Dideoxy sequencing
Supplied with 10X Reaction Buffer
Moderate strand displacement activity

Product Source

An E. coli strain containing a plasmid with a fragment of the E.coli polA (D355A, E357A) gene starting at codon 324.

Product Notes
1. Klenow Fragment (3´→ 5´ exo-) is not suitable for generating blunt ends because it lacks the 3´→ 5´ exonuclease necessary to remove non-templated 3´ additions.
2. Klenow Fragment (3´→ 5´ exo-) is also active in all four NEBuffers when supplemented with dNTPs.
3. When Klenow Fragment (3´→ 5´ exo-) is used to sequence DNA using the dideoxy method of Sanger et al., 1 unit/5 µl reaction volume is recommended.
