This fusion protien was designed by linking the N-terminus of a modified Bst polymerase with thermostable DNA binding protien Sac7e using a flexible (GGGGS)4 linker to increase polymerase thermostability and processivity in LAMP reaction.

Usage and Biology

Bst polymerase Large Fragment is a family I DNA polymerase derived from the thermophilic bacterium Geobacillus stearothermophilus. Bst polymerase Large Fragment is notable for its strong strand displacement activity and thermal stability [1]. Bst also contains a 5' to 3' DNA polymerase activity but lacks 3' to 5' exonuclease activity[2]. These unique features allow Bst polymerase to facilitate isothermal amplification techniques such as LAMP and rt-LAMP. Three point mutations were introduced at positions K549W, K582L, and Q584L in the thumb domain to improve polymerase thermal stability.

Sac7e is part of the 7 kDa DNA-binding family and is a highly thermostable and pH resistant protien that aids in the binding of double stranded DNA. Sac7e is thermally stable to 85.5°C and compared to other similar proteins, Sac7e showed the highest affinity for dsDNA (KD = 11 μM), with binding sites ~ 6-8 bases per protein[3].
