This invention provides a fully premixed PCR kit and its
Taq DNA polymerase variant. The kit includes primers for PCR amplification, a PCR amplification buffer, and a
Taq DNA polymerase mutant. The
Taq DNA polymerase mutant is obtained by replacing the
amino acid sequence of the 5'–3'
exonuclease domain of wild-type Taq
DNA polymerase with that of SEQ ID NO.2. The Taq
DNA polymerase variant of this invention integrates the
endonuclease 1 domain of *Thermococcus barbata*, endowing Tb-Taq with selective 5'→3'
exonuclease activity. It has no cleavage activity at the 5' end of blunt-ended double-stranded
DNA, while maintaining its hydrolytic ability to
TaqMan probes during PCR amplification. This effectively solves the problem of probe cleavage and degradation during long-term storage of fully premixed kits, thereby avoiding phenomena such as increased
fluorescence background, decreased
fluorescence intensity of the amplification curve, Ct value
lag, and significant decrease in detection sensitivity.
