General description

Sigma′s In Vitro Director PCR System provides all reagents needed for the rapid generation of high quality, expression-ready DNA templates that can be used with in vitro transcription/translation systems.In vitro synthesized fusion proteins are very useful for rapid analysis of gene functions, such as enzymatic activity, protein-protein interaction, function domain mapping, and structure analysis.

The PCR System uses the Director method, a novel method that facilitates the directional ligation of transcription/translation regulatory sequences (Anchors) to the PCR products. It differs from conventional PCR kits in that it uses a specially formulated dNTP mix containing dATPaS and dGTPaS. After PCR, the cohesive 5′ termini of the amplicon are produced by Exonuclease III digestion instead of being generated by traditional restriction enzyme digests. Incorporation of dA/GTPaS into the amplicon protects the amplicon from overdigestion by Exonuclease III.

The universal process of rapidly generating expression-ready DNA templates involves five steps: a first round PCR using gene-specific primers, Exonuclease III digestion, PCR clean-up, ligation of the PCR amplicon to the 5′ and 3′ Anchors, and a second round of PCR using Anchor primers.
The kit contains paired 5′ and 3′ Anchors as well as universal primers complementary to the Anchor sequences. The 5′ c-Myc Anchor is a double-stranded DNA containing the T7 promoter, Kozak sequence, c-Myc sequence, and a Hind III overhang. The 3′ Anchor is also a double-stranded DNA containing a Bgl II overhang and terminator sequence.

Application

Production of N-terminal c-Myc-tagged fusion proteins.
