Cloning and expression of T4 DNA polymerase

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1987 Oct;84(20):7000-4. doi: 10.1073/pnas.84.20.7000.

Abstract

The structural gene coding for bacteriophage T4 DNA polymerase (gene 43) has been cloned into inducible plasmid vectors, which provide a source for obtaining large amounts of this enzyme after induction. The T4 DNA polymerase produced in this fashion was purified by an innovative three-step procedure and was fully active.
