Cloning Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Products: TOPO TA Cloning
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols
|September 2, 2021
Abstract:
This protocol describes the use of TOPO-activated TA vectors for cloning. Manufacturers of cloning kits provide excellent manuals that explain in detail what to do and why to do it. This makes TOPO cloning easy, but not foolproof. When setting up TOPO cloning for the first time, set up a trial experiment as described here.

Translesion (TLS) polymerases rescue stalled DNA polymerases at sites of damaged bases by replacing the replicative polymerase and installing a nucleotide across the damaged site. Doing so, TLS allows additional time for the cell to repair the damage before resuming regular DNA replication.
TLS polymerases are found in all three domains of life - archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes. Of the different classes of TLS polymerases, members of the Y family are fitted with specialized structures that...

DNA replication is carried out by a large complex of proteins that act in a coordinated matter to achieve high-fidelity DNA replication. Together this complex is known as the DNA replication machinery or the replisome.
The synthesis of the leading and lagging strands is a highly coordinated process. To explain this, the “Trombone model” was proposed by Bruce Alberts in 1980. The DNA loop formation starts when a primer is synthesized on the parent lagging strand. The loop grows with...
