General description
Bovine terminal transferase (TdT) is a primer-dependent polymerase that catalyzes the addition of deoxynucleotides to the 3′-OH terminus of DNA molecules with the release of inorganic phosphate. TdT reacts preferentially with either single-stranded DNA molecules or double-stranded-DNA with 3′ overhangs, but procedures have been developed to label blunt ends or 3′-recessive ends. In a reaction mixture, the divalent ion (Co2+, Mn2+, Mg2+) will influence purine and pyrimidine polymerization rate. Activities of TdT are also affected by the bases (dATP, dCTP, dGTP and dTTP) present.
Application
Suitable for:
- Addition of homopolymers to vectors, inserts and cDNA for cloning
- Labeling the 3′-end of double- and single-stranded DNA with non-radioactive or radioactive labels
- Carrying out in vitro mutagenesis by adding single nucleotides to DNA
- Use in TUNEL assays
Components
Terminal transferase is supplied as a solution of 50 mM potassium phosphate (pH 7.4), 1 mM 2-mercaptoethanol and 50% glycerol (v/v).
Unit Definition
One unit will incorporate 1 nanomole of dATP into acid-precipitable material in one hour at 37 °C using d(pT)6 as primer.
Analysis Note
Activity assay uses 200 mM potassium cacodylate, pH 7.2, 4 mM MgCl2, 1 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 1 mM 3H-dATP, 70 μM d(pT)6, 37 °C.

Cordycepin-5'-triphosphate (3'-deoxyadenosine-5'-triphosphate) can be incorporated into the 3'-ends of DNA fragments using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase from calf thymus (Bollum, 1974). Because cordycepin-5'-monophosphate lacks a 3'-OH group, only a single residue is incorporated. Furthermore, DNA molecules that contain cordycepin-5'-monophosphate at their

Secondary rearrangements of the T cell receptor (TCR) represent a genetic correction mechanism which changes T cell specificity by re-activating V(D)J recombination in peripheral T cells. Murine T-cell hybridoma A1.1 was employed to investigate whether antigenic stimulation induced re-expression of

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) constitute a critically important class of non-translated, small RNAs, which post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression via one of the multiple mechanisms. To profile miRNA expression, microarrays have been extensively applied to the high-throughput detection of miRNAs. Here, we described
