A method of preparing high-performance M-MLV
reverse transcriptase is disclosed. The method includes a step of performing
mutant cloning construction, with
plasmid sequences of constructed mutants being sequenced for confirmation to obtain seventeen
mutant plasmids; a step of
mutant screening, namely a step of transforming wild-type pET28b-M-MLV and the seventeen mutant plasmids into
escherichia coli competent cells, culturing, inducing
mutant enzyme expression, collecting bacterium cells to obtain a
mutant enzyme coarse extract liquid, and subjecting
mutant enzyme coarse extract liquid having
protein expression to reverse transcription activity screening at different temperatures; and a step of culturing the mutants positive in activity screening in a
liquid medium, inducing
protein expression, collecting bacterium cells, and performing purification to obtain the M-MLV
reverse transcriptase. A combination of molecular
rational design and function screening is adopted by the method, the M-MLV
reverse transcriptase having high
thermal stability can be obtained only by a
small range of screening, and the
thermal stability is that the M-MLV reverse transcriptase can
resist a temperature of 65 DEG C.
