The present invention provides polypeptides having a nucleotide polymerase activity and method of enhancing polymerase activity. The polypeptides of the present invention may posses both a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity and an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity, i.e., a reverse transcriptase activity. The polypeptides of the present invention may be used in any application including, but not limited to, DNA sequencing reactions, amplification reactions, cDNA synthesis reactions, and combined cDNA synthesis and amplification reactions, e.g., RT-PCR. |
