Unit | 100 U (100 μl) | ||||||||||
Category | Molecular Biology Enzymes and Kits | ||||||||||
Description |
Poly(A) Polymerase, Yeast catalyzes the template-independent addition of adenosine residues to the 3’ ends of RNA molecules using ATP as a substrate to create a poly(A) tail. When cordycepin-5'-triphosphate (3’-dATP) is substituted for ATP, the enzyme adds a single dA residue to the 3’-terminus of RNA. Neither ADP nor dATP can be used as substrates for this enzyme. Poly(A) Polymerase from yeast is particularly effective for oligonucleotide-labeling and poly(A) tailing of long RNA templates, making it a superior choice compared to E. coli-derived enzymes. This enzyme is ideal for applications that require precise polyadenylation, such as RNA sequencing and cDNA synthesis.

What are the key differences between Yeast and E. coli Poly(A) Polymerase? | |||||||||||||||||||
|
Can I use dATP or ADP as a substitute for ATP in the reaction? | |
No, Poly(A) Polymerase from yeast specifically requires ATP for polyadenylation. While cordycepin-5’-triphosphate (3’-dATP) can be used for 3’-end labeling, neither ADP nor dATP function as substrates.
|
How do I stop the reaction after poly(A) tailing? | |
The reaction can be terminated by heating at 65°C for 20 minutes or by adding 5 mM EDTA.
|
Can I use labeled ATP for poly(A) tailing? | |
Yes, radiolabeled, biotinylated, or fluorescently labeled ATP can be substituted in the reaction for specific experimental applications.
|
What are the storage conditions for this enzyme? | |
Store all components at -20°C and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to maintain maximum performance. The components are stable for one year from the date of shipping when stored properly.
|
What is the source of this enzyme? | |
The enzyme is produced recombinantly in E. coli, which has been engineered to express the enzyme gene. While the original gene may come from another organism, all production and purification occur using E. coli under controlled conditions.
