General description

Poly(A) Polymerase catalyzes the addition of AMP from ATP to the 3′ hydroxyl of RNA. The reaction requires Mg2+ and is template independent.

Application

Suitable for:
  • Labeling of RNA with ATP or cordyceptin
  • Poly(A) tailing of RNA for cloning or affinity purification
  • Enhancing translation or RNA transferred into eukaryotic cells

Features and Benefits

  • Ultra-purification process for ultimate enzyme performance
  • Highest quality specifications for ultimate product consistency
  • Undetectable DNA and nuclease contamination

Physical form

Supplied in 25 mM Tris-HCl, 500 mM NaCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mM DTT, 0.1 mM EDTA and 50% glycerol at pH 8.0 @ 25° C.

Other Notes

1 unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that will incorporate 1 nmol of ATP into acid-soluble material in 10 minutes at 37° C.
Source of protein: The gene encoding E. coli Poly(A) Polymerase expressed from a plasmid in E coli.
