DNA Pol I, Large (Klenow) fragment was originally derived as a proteolytic product of E. coli DNA polymerase. It retains polymerase activity, but lacks both 5’ —> 3’ and 3' —> 5’ exonuclease activity.

  • Generates probes using random primers
  • Dideoxy sequencing
  • Random priming labeling
  • Moderate strand displacement activity
  • Not suitable for generating blunt ends
  • Product Information
Klenow Fragment (3´→ 5´ exo-) is an N-terminal truncation of DNA Polymerase I which retains polymerase activity, but has lost the 5´→ 3´ exonuclease activity and has mutations (D355A, E357A) which abolish the 3´→ 5´ exonuclease activity (1).
Highlights
  • Isolated from a recombinant source
  • Generates probes using random primers
  • Dideoxy sequencing
  • Supplied with 10X Reaction Buffer
  • Moderate strand displacement activity
Product Source
AnE. colistrain containing a plasmid with a fragment of theE.colipolA (D355A, E357A) gene starting at codon 324.

Notes
  • Klenow Fragment (3´→ 5´ exo-) is not suitable for generating blunt ends because it lacks the 3´→ 5´ exonuclease necessary to remove non-templated 3´ additions.
  • Klenow Fragment (3´→ 5´ exo-) is also active in all four NEBuffers when supplemented with dNTPs.
  • When Klenow Fragment (3´→ 5´ exo-) is used to sequence DNA using the dideoxy method of Sanger et al., 1 unit/5 µl reaction volume is recommended.
