[0002] DNA polymerase plays a crucial role in regulating the process of DNA replication in the body, and it participates in and ensures the accurate transmission of genetic information in the body. With the continuous progress of science and technology, the research on the modification of polymerase is also deepening, which makes the DNA sequencing technology gradually perfect and develop. In the polymerase-nanopore sequencing system, clear electrochemical signals can be generated, and this process highly depends on whether the polymerase can effectively use artificial substrates for synthesis. The efficiency of this synthesis directly affects the accuracy and speed of sequencing, so the optimization of polymerase function is the key to improve the performance of sequencing technology.

[0003] Phi29 DNA polymerase is a polymerase derived from Phi29 bacteriophage in Bacillus subtilis, which is classified as B family DNA polymerase.

[0095] The recombinant plasmids inserted with the DNA polymerase gene expression sequences above were respectively transformed into E. coli ER2566 super-competent cells (Bi Yun Tian Biotechnology, D1039S). Inoculated into kanamycin-resistant medium, 37°C, 5% CO2 culture for 12 hours, after resistance screening, 5 μL of bacterial inoculum was inoculated into 5 mL of LB liquid medium and cultured at 37°C overnight, then transferred into 10 mL of LB liquid medium and cultured at 37°C for 3 hours, when OD 600nm = 0.6, the bacterial solution was taken out and cooled at 4°C, after cooling, 0.6 mM of IPTG was added for induction, and the shaking culture was continued at 16°C for 20 hours. Co 2+Column affinity chromatography purification, using different concentrations of imidazole elution solution to elute the polymerase protein. Elution solution components are 50 mM Tris, 200 mM KCl, 0.5% Tween-20, 5 mM TCEP (tris (2-chloroethyl) phosphate), different concentrations of imidazole (100 mM, 150 mM, 200 mM, and 300 mM). The protein of the eluate of the components of 150 mM and 200 mM imidazole concentrations was combined, and the polymerase was concentrated using an ultrafiltration column AMICON ULTRA 15 mL 50K (Millipore Corporation, Catalog No: UFC905024) and replaced with a storage solution. The solution used for replacement is 50 mM Tris, 200 mM KCl, 0.5% Tween-20, 5 mM TCEP, 10% glycerol. The phi29 DNA polymerase (68 kD) obtained above was subjected to SDS-PAGE protein electrophoresis detection, and the purity of the DNA polymerase protein was identified, and the results are shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Ion_1~Ion_11 were successfully expressed and had high purity.

[0103] The substrates in the above Table 1 are as follows:

[0104] The artificially modified substrates A, T, C, and G are selected from the four bases (A, T, C, and G) artificially modified in “Real-time single-molecule electronic DNA sequencing by synthesis using polymer-tagged nucleotides on an nanopore array” (Contributed by George M. Church, March 18, 2016 (sent for review February 4, 2016; reviewed by Cynthia J. Burrows, Xiaohua Huang, and Andre Marziali, https: / / doi.org / 10.1073 / pnas.1601782113) Figure 2 in the order of dA6P-Cy3-dT4-FldT-dT-FldT-dT 23 -C3, dC6P-Cy3-dT4-dSp3-dT 20 -C3, dC6P-Cy3-dT4-dSp3-dT 23 -C3, dC6P-Cy3-dT4-dSp3-dT 30 -C3. The structural formulas are as follows:

[0105]

[0106] The polymerase and the template primer complex were mixed (5 μL) and reacted at 25°C for 10 min, and then the other components (see Table 2) were added to obtain a reaction solution with a total volume of 10 μL, which was then reacted at 30°C for 2 h.

[0107] The final reaction product was subjected to electrophoresis, and the results are shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 . Figure 5 Lane L1 in the figure is a negative control (only a mixture of the circular template and the primer complex); L2-L10 are detection of the extension products of Ion_1-Ion_9, respectively. Ion_2 is a wild-type phi29. Figure 5 , except that L4 has almost no amplification, and the others have amplification, indicating that the site mutations of M97K, L253A, T368M, Y369E, E375D, Q380L, A382L, A484E, A484R, E508F, V514Q, and V514D help the phi29 polymerase to use unnatural substrates for DNA amplification under Mg 2+ conditions. Figure 6Lane NC is a negative control (a mixture of only the circular template and the primer complex). Ion_10 is a mutant protein of the protein carrying the "palm" domain, Ion_11 is a protein not carrying a special domain, Ion_11 hardly amplifies, Figure 6 The "palm" domain was shown to help facilitate polymerase in Mg 2+ conditions to use unnatural substrates for DNA amplification.
