T4 Polynucleotide Kinase

T4 Polynucleotide Kinase (T4 PNK) catalyzes the transfer and exchange of Pi from the gamma position of ATP to the 5´ -hydroxyl terminus of polynucleotides (double-and single-stranded DNA and RNA) and nucleoside 3´-monophosphates. T4 Polynucleotide Kinase also catalyzes the removal of 3´-phosphoryl groups from 3´-phosphoryl polynucleotides, deoxynucleoside 3´-monophosphates and deoxynucleoside 3´-diphosphates. T4 PNK is applicable to end-labeling DNA or RNA for probes and DNA sequencing, addition of 5´-phosphates to oligonucleotides to allow subsequent ligation and removal of 3´-phosphoryl groups.
