选用4种不同长度(1.0~5.4 kb)、高AT含量(72%~80%)的真菌线粒体DNA片段,通过比较4种PCR添加剂(牛血清白蛋白(BSA)、二甲基亚砜(DMSO)、甲酰胺和镁离子)和4种KOD系列DNA聚合酶(KOD-Plus-、KOD-Plus-Neo、KOD FX和KOD FX Neo)对PCR扩增效...选用4种不同长度(1.0~5.4 kb)、高AT含量(72%~80%)的真菌线粒体DNA片段,通过比较4种PCR添加剂(牛血清白蛋白(BSA)、二甲基亚砜(DMSO)、甲酰胺和镁离子)和4种KOD系列DNA聚合酶(KOD-Plus-、KOD-Plus-Neo、KOD FX和KOD FX Neo)对PCR扩增效果的影响,优化高AT含量DNA片段的PCR扩增体系。结果表明:当PCR体系中单独使用1种添加剂时,只有镁离子能够促进扩增,其他3种添加剂都不能产生预期扩增条带。BSA和DMSO对镁离子的扩增促进作用无负面影响,而甲酰胺会抑制镁离子的扩增促进作用。当镁离子存在时,4种KOD聚合酶的PCR体系均可获得预期的扩增产物;当缺乏镁离子时,使用KOD-Plus-或KOD-Plus-Neo聚合酶的PCR体系未能得到扩增产物,表现出对镁离子的依赖性。镁离子对高AT含量DNA片段的扩增具有促进作用,最佳使用浓度为1.75 mmol/L。研究结果为其他真核生物中高AT含量DNA片段的扩增提供了方法依据。展开更多
