The measurement of nucleic acid polymerase elongation rates is often done via a lengthy experimental process involving radiolabeled substrates, quenched elongation experiments, electrophoretic product separation, and band quantitation. In this work we describe an alternative real-time stopped-flow assay for obtaining kinetic parameters for elongation of extended sequences. The assay builds on our earlier PETE assay designed for high-throughput screening purposes (Anal. Biochem. 365, 194-200) and relies of measuring how long it takes a polymerase to reach the end of a defined length template. Using poliovirus polymerase and self-priming hairpin RNA substrates with 6 to 26 nucleotide long templating regions, we demonstrate that the assay can be used to determine Vmax rates for elongation and apparent Km values for NTP utilization. Modeling the reaction kinetics as a series of irreversible steps allows us to numerically fit the entire time-based dataset by properly accounting for the temporal distribution of intermediate species. This enables us to determine average elongation rates over heterogeneous templating regions that mimic viral genome substrates. The assay is easily extendable to other RNA and DNA polymerases, can accommodate secondary structures in the template, and can in principle be used for any enzyme traversing along an extended substrate.
