DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Summary This application aims to achieve electronic control of DNA polymerase function on a time scale that superimposes with rates of enzyme binding and catalysis. To achieve this aim, we will monitor the interaction of individual DNA polymerases with a nanopore sensor under voltage- induced tension. We will characterize kinetic, biochemical, and structural properties of polymerase-DNA complexes captured under voltage control in a nanopore. We will optimize nanopore measurements of polymerase function at significantly higher bandwidth than is possible using conventional techniques and in a manner that permits serial analysis of thousands of individual enzymes as they process DNA. We believe the study is innovative because it will employ a recently established nanopore technique to identify and measure translocation steps during individual catalytic cycles of replication. Discrimination between polymerase-driven translocation mechanisms should be achievable. This work is relevant to human health because mutations that arise from misincorporation of nucleotides by DNA polymerases are a fundamental cause of cancer. In addition, nanopore-coupled polymerases could present a high speed, low cost technology for genome sequencing that has virtually no environmental impact.

描述（由申请人提供）： 项目摘要此应用旨在以时间尺度获得对DNA聚合酶功能的电子控制，该时间尺度将酶结合和催化速率叠加。为了实现这一目标，我们将监视在电压诱导的张力下各个DNA聚合酶与纳米孔传感器的相互作用。我们将表征纳米孔在电压控制下捕获的聚合酶-DNA复合物的动力学，生化和结构特性。我们将优化与使用常规技术和以允许对数千种单个酶进行处理DNA的序列分析的方式相比，在显着更高带宽的纳米孔测量值。我们认为这项研究具有创新性，因为它将采用最近建立的纳米孔技术来识别和测量单个复制催化循环期间的易位步骤。聚合酶驱动的易位机制之间的歧视应该可以实现。这项工作与人类健康相关，因为DNA聚合酶对核苷酸的不均质引起的突变是癌症的基本原因。此外，纳米孔偶联的聚合酶可能会为基因组测序提供高速，低成本的技术，实际上没有环境影响。 公共卫生相关性： 这项工作着重于DNA聚合酶复制的DNA复制机制。它与人类健康有关，因为DNA聚合酶对核苷酸的不兼并引起的突变是癌症的基本原因。此外，纳米孔偶联的聚合酶可能会为基因组测序提供高速，低成本的技术，实际上没有环境影响。
