Description
Tth DNA polymerase is a thermostable DNA polymerase derived from the thermophilic bacteria Thermus thermophilus (Tth) HB8.
The enzyme has a reverse transcriptase activity in addition to a 5’→3’ polymerase activity and a double strand specific 5’→ 3’ exonuclease activity in the presence of Mn2+ ions. Therefore, this enzyme enables "one-step RT-PCR" including the reverse transcription and PCR steps. Kits for one-step RT-PCR (Code No. PCR-311F) and real-time PCR (Code No. QRT-101, 201) using this enzyme are also available.
Features
- • Exhibits reverse transcriptase activity in the presence of Mn2+ ions.
- • Effective for the amplification of GC-rich targets and crude samples.
- • Effective for reverse transcription of RNA with complicated secondary structure due to the reaction occurring at high temperature (i.e., 60ºC).

Application Data
Example 1.Amplification of 180 bp–1.3 kb genes from human genomic DNA.
Distinct and specific amplified bands from 180 bp to 1.3 kb were observed with rTth DNA polymerase by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis.
Example 2.Amplification of the yeast actin and human 18s rRNA by RT-PCR
The single-enzyme RT-PCR with rTth DNA polymerase gave distinct amplification bands, whereas RT-PCR with M-MLV reverse transcriptase and rTaq DNA polymerase gave very faint bands.
