  • Patent number: 10858636
    Abstract: Stabilized reverse transcriptase fusion proteins including a thermostable reverse transcriptase connected to a stabilizer protein are described. Attaching the stabilizer protein to the thermostable reverse transcriptase stabilizes the fusion protein and can aid in its purification, provide increased solubility, allow for longer storage, or allow the fusion protein to be used under more rigorous conditions such as higher temperature. The stabilized reverse transcriptase fusion protein can also include a linker between the stabilizer protein and the thermostable reverse transcriptase. The stabilized reverse transcriptase fusion proteins are suitable for use in nucleic acid amplification methods such as the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and other applications involving cDNA synthesis.

  • Publication number: 20020086323
    Abstract: Methods, employing a nucleotide integrase, for cleaving single-stranded RNA substrates, single-stranded DNA substrates, and double-stranded DNA substrates at specific sites and for inserting a nucleic acid molecule into the cleaved substrate are provided. One method uses a nucleotide integrase to cleave one strand of a double-stranded DNA substrate. The method comprises the steps of: providing an isolated nucleotide integrase comprising a group II intron RNA having two hybridizing sequences for hybridizing with two intron RNA binding sequences on the top strand of the DNA substrate, and a group I-intron encoded protein which binds to a first sequence element of the substrate; and reacting the nucleotide integrase with the double-stranded DNA substrate to permit the nucleotide integrase to cleave the top strand of the DNA substrate and to insert the group II intron RNA into the cleavage site.

  • Patent number: 6027895
    Abstract: The present invention provides new methods, employing a nucleotide integrase, for cleaving single-stranded RNA substrates, single-stranded DNA substrates, and double- stranded DNA substrates at specific sites and for inserting a nucleic acid molecule into the cleaved substrate. One method uses a nucleotide integrase to cleave one strand of a double-stranded DNA substrate. The method comprises the steps of: providing a nucleotide integrase comprising a group II intron RNA having two hybridizing sequences that are capable of hybridizing with two intron RNA binding sequences on the one strand of the DNA substrate, and a group II-intron encoded protein which binds to a first sequence element of the substrate; and reacting the nucleotide integrase with the double-stranded DNA substrate under conditions that permit the nucleotide integrase to cleave the one strand of the DNA substrate and to insert the group II intron RNA into the cleavage site.
