Cloning and expression of the gene for bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase.
Open accessAbstract
The complete coding sequence of the gene for bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase (T7 gene 1) has been cloned in the plasmid pBR322. Large amounts of active enzyme can be accumulated in Escherichia coli when the cloned gene is transcribed from the lac UV5 promoter. A protease activity that apparently can nick the protein without causing it to fall apart can be a problem during purification, but a procedure is described that gives good yields of essentially homogeneous, highly active enzyme suitable for biochemical and physical studies. T7 RNA polymerase has a stringent specificity for its own promoters and will selectively transcribe DNA that has been linked to such a promoter. This specificity makes the enzyme useful both for producing specific RNAs in vitro and for directing the expression of selected genes inside the cell. Having the cloned gene also makes possible a detailed mutational analysis of the functioning of T7 RNA polymerase.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
