    What are Enzymes for Innovation?
Catalyzes the transfer and exchange of Pi from the γ position of ATP to the 5´ -hydroxyl terminus of polynucleotides (double-and single-stranded DNA and RNA) and nucleoside 3´-monophosphates. Polynucleotide Kinase also catalyzes the removal of 3´-phosphoryl groups from 3´-phosphoryl polynucleotides, deoxynucleoside 3´-monophosphates and deoxynucleoside 3´-diphosphates (1).
Product Source
A E. coli strain that carries the cloned T4 Polynucleotide Kinase gene. It is purified by a modification of the method of Richardson (1).

Notes
  • Gaps can be phosphorylated with elevated levels of ATP. Nicks are not phosphorylated efficiently. CTP, GTP, TTP, UTP, dATP or dTTP can be substituted for ATP as a phosphate donor (1).
  • Dephosphorylation prior to end-labeling can be avoided by utilizing the exchange reaction, although this results in lower specific activity labeling.
  • Sufficient incorporation levels can be attained using the supplied buffer supplemented with 100 µM ADP in the final reaction. However, higher levels of incorporation with the exchange reaction are achieved when using the buffer described in (2).
