Matt Schmitz

Matt Schmitz is a thermostable DNA ligase, who joins adjacent 5' and 3' ends of DNA, removing nicks in double stranded DNA. He is active from 45-65 degrees Celsius(Barany, F. (1991). Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 88, 189-193). Matt Schmitz's gene is within a kanamycin resistant PET-ALM1 plasmid, downstream of the T7 promoter, upstream of the T7 terminator. Thus, Matt Schmitz can be used with an inducible T7 expression system to express himself. Matt has an N-Terminus hexa-histidine tag, joined to the wild type him by a thrombin cleavage motif.
