The mutant T7 RNA polymerase (T7 RNAP), containing two substitutions (Y639F, S641A) was earlier shown to utilize both rNTP and dNTP in a transcription-like reaction. In this report the ability of the enzyme to catalyze DNA primer extension reaction was demonstrated. The efficiency of the reaction essentially depended on the type of the primer sequence, and was significantly higher if the primer coincided with the T7 promoter non-coding sequence. In this case the primer extension reaction proceeded along with de novo RNA synthesis. The length of the product did not exceed 8 nucleotides, indicating that the primer extension reaction proceeds according to the mechanism of the T7 RNAP-catalyzed abortive transcription.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009838 Oligodeoxyribonucleotides A group of deoxyribonucleotides (up to 12) in which the phosphate residues of each deoxyribonucleotide act as bridges in forming diester linkages between the deoxyribose moieties. Oligodeoxynucleotide,Oligodeoxyribonucleotide,Oligodeoxynucleotides
D003854 Deoxyribonucleotides A purine or pyrimidine base bonded to a DEOXYRIBOSE containing a bond to a phosphate group. Deoxyribonucleotide
D004259 DNA-Directed DNA Polymerase DNA-dependent DNA polymerases found in bacteria, animal and plant cells. During the replication process, these enzymes catalyze the addition of deoxyribonucleotide residues to the end of a DNA strand in the presence of DNA as template-primer. They also possess exonuclease activity and therefore function in DNA repair.

D001435 Bacteriophages Viruses whose hosts are bacterial cells. Phages,Bacteriophage,Phage
D012321 DNA-Directed RNA Polymerases Enzymes that catalyze DNA template-directed extension of the 3'-end of an RNA strand one nucleotide at a time. They can initiate a chain de novo. In eukaryotes, three forms of the enzyme have been distinguished on the basis of sensitivity to alpha-amanitin, and the type of RNA synthesized. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992).
