We cloned the gene encoding the thermostable DNA polymerase from the archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus. The DNA fragment of 2785 base pair (bp) containing the structural gene for DNA polymerase was sequenced. DNA polymerase (Pfu polymerase), as deduced from the DNA sequence, consisted of 775 amino acids, had a molecular weight of 90, 109, and was structurally homologous to the alpha-like DNA polymerases (family B) represented by human DNA polymerase alpha and Escherichia coli DNA polymerase II.
