Abstract: The present invention discloses a novel polypeptide capable of binding Taq DNA polymerase, a polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide, a recombinant vector comprising the polynucleotide, a cell having the recombinant vector introduced therein, a method of producing the polypeptide using the recombinant cell, and a hot-start PCR composition comprising the polypeptide. The polypeptide of the present invention is capable of binding specifically to Taq DNA polymerase to inhibit the activity of the polymerase, and thus may be effectively used in hot-start PCR using Taq DNA polymerase.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and kits for controlling the length of overhangs at the ends of double stranded DNA based on a competitive inhibition. Further provided are ligase-independent methods for joining the two ends of DNA strands using the same. The present methods efficiently control the overhangs of ds DNA. This user-controlled overhangs supply a tool for efficient ligation in a ligase independent way and can be advantageously used in DNA recombinant technology such as cloning gene or DNA fragments of interest or PCR products.
