The ability to synthesize capped RNA transcripts in vitro has been of considerable value in a variety of applications. However, one-third to one-half of the caps have, until now, been incorporated in the reverse orientation. Such reverse caps impair the translation of in vitro-synthesized mRNAs. Novel cap analogues, such as P
1
-3′-deoxy-7-methylguanosine-5′ P
3
-guanosine-5′ triphosphate and P
1
-3′-O,7-dimethylguanosine-5′ P
3
-guanosine-5′ triphosphate, have been designed that are incapable of being incorporated into RNA in the reverse orientation. Transcripts produced with SP6 polymerase using “anti-reverse” cap analogues were of the predicted length. Analysis of the transcripts indicated that reverse caps were not formed. The in vitro translational efficiency of transcripts with the novel “anti-reverse” cap analogues was significantly higher than that of transcripts formed with conventional caps.
在体外合成带帽RNA转录本的能力在各种应用中具有相当的价值。然而,到目前为止,三分之一到一半的帽子是以反向方向合并的。这些反向帽子会影响体外合成的mRNA的翻译。设计了新的帽子类似物,例如P1-3'-去氧-7-甲基鸟嘌呤-5' P3-鸟嘌呤-5' 三磷酸酯和P1-3'-O,7-二甲基鸟嘌呤-5' P3-鸟嘌呤-5' 三磷酸酯,这些类似物无法以反向方向被合并到RNA中。使用“抗反向”帽子类似物的SP6聚合酶产生的转录本长度与预测长度相同。对转录本的分析表明,没有形成反向帽子。使用新型“抗反向”帽子类似物形成的转录本的体外翻译效率显著高于使用常规帽子形成的转录本。
