Abstract: | T4 DNA ligase catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bonds between adjacent 5′-phosphoryl and 3′-hydroxyl ends in nicked duplex DNA (1). In addition, it catalyzes the joining of duplex DNA molecules at completely base-paired ends (2). These activities of T4 DNA ligase have been used to synthesize DNA with defined sequences and to construct recombinant DNA molecules in vitro. For these purposes, the highly purified preparation of T4 DNA ligase is necessary. In this paper, we report a purification method which reproducibly yields highly purified preparation. Blue Sepharose CL-6B chromatography was introduced at the last step of the purification. |
