The invention relates to the technical field of
nucleic acid tool enzymes, in particular to a T7
RNA polymerase mutant as well as preparation and application thereof. The T7
RNA polymerase mutant disclosed by the invention has
RNA polymerase activity based on a T7
promoter, and has the advantages of strong
thermal stability, high transcriptase activity, high transcription product expression rate and the like compared with
wild type T7
RNA polymerase; in addition, modified
nucleotide such as (m1phi TP) can be used for replacing
uridine triphosphate (UTP) to serve as a substrate to efficiently synthesize mRNA with high expression efficiency through in-vitro co-transcription, compared with existing T7
RNA polymerase, the performance is obviously improved, the requirement for large-scale production of mRNA at present is better met, and an effective candidate
enzyme tool is provided for research and application of RNA. Moreover, according to the preservation method of the T7
RNA polymerase mutant, provided by the invention, after the T7RNA polymerase mutant freeze-dried
powder is preserved for 1 year under the condition of 4 DEG C, the
enzyme activity residue is higher than 90%.
