Background: T7 phage RNA polymerase

Recombinant T7 phage RNA polymerase (T7 RNAP) is a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase essential for T7 phage growth that is involved in the transcription of class II and class III viral DNA (1,2). T7 RNAP is a 99 kDa protein that consists of four accessory domains including an N-terminal single strand RNA binding domain, a four-helix bundle, the promoter recognition loop, and the C-terminal T7 lysozyme regulation domain in addition to the catalytic polymerase domain comprised of three sub-domains that form a deep cleft where the active site is located (3-5). The three catalytic polymerase domain sub-domains and active site residues are conserved throughout nucleic acid families (3). Unlike other polymerases from prokaryotic and eukaryotic sources, T7 RNAP is a single subunit enzyme and also requires no additional protein factors to complete a transcriptional cycle making it efficient and fast (6-9). T7 RNAP also has high specificity to the T7 promoter (9,10) and an ability to produce long transcripts (5). In addition, T7 RNAP has been shown to be amenable to structural manipulation for improved functionality or broader application (5). These characteristics confer an advantage to T7 RNAP to make it a broadly useful and effective tool for expression of genes under control of the T7 promoter in a variety of hosts for both in vivo and in vitro experiments (5,9). T7 RNAP is a useful tool in synthetic biology with many applications including synthesizing mRNA for vaccines and therapeutics, RNA editing and interference, expression control in biotech applications and industrial biotechnology, and as a model for transcription (9-11).
