产品信息

Based on the Vaccinia virus Capping Enzyme (VCE), the Vaccinia Capping System provides the necessary components to add 7-methylguanylate cap structures (Cap-0) to the 5´end of RNA (1). In eukaryotes, these terminal cap structures are involved in stabilization (2), transport (3), and translation (4) of mRNAs. Enzymatic production of capped RNA is an easy way to improve the stability and translational competence of RNA used for in vitro translation, transfection, and microinjection. Alternatively, use of labeled GTP in a reaction provides a convenient way to label any RNA containing a 5´ terminal triphosphate.

Vaccinia capping enzyme is composed of two subunits (D1 and D12). The D1 subunit carries three enzymatic activities (RNA triphosphatase, guanylyltransferase and guanine methyltransferase); all necessary for addition of a complete Cap-0 structure, m7Gppp5’N to 5′ triphosphate RNA (5,6). In vitro transcripts can be capped in less than one hour in the presence of the capping enzyme, reaction buffer, GTP, and the methyl donor, SAM. Capping is nearly 100% efficient and all capped structures are added in the proper orientation, unlike co-transcriptional addition of some cap analogs (7).

  • 注意事项

    1. （建立反应体系前请仔细阅读）

      RNA 在加帽前应进行纯化，并将 RNA 重悬于无核酶水中。溶液中不应存在 EDTA 和盐。

    2. 虽然 RNase 抑制剂不是必需添加的，但许多用户更喜欢使用它来提高溶液中 RNA 的稳定性。如有需要，可以在建立反应体系时添加 0.5 µl 标准 RNase 抑制剂（如小鼠 RNase 抑制剂，NEB #M0314）。加帽和标记实验流程第 1 步中所用的 H2O 量相应减少体积即可。
    3. 在与牛痘病毒加帽酶温育前，加热 RNA 溶液，可去除转录本 5´ 末端的二级结构。对于已知 5´ 末端高度结构化的转录本，将时间延长至 10 分钟。
    4. SAM 在 pH 值为 7 – 8 和 37℃ 条件下不稳定，应在开始反应前再配置新鲜混合液。建议首先确定要建立的反应次数，然后在快要建立反应体系时将 32 mM 贮存液分装稀释至 2 mM。应将该“工作原液”放置于冰上，防止 SAM 降解。
    5. 对于已知具有 5´ 末端结构化的转录本，可将反应时间延长至 60 分钟来提高加帽效率。
    6. 标记 5´ 末端时，GTP 总浓度应为反应中 mRNA 摩尔浓度的 1–3 倍。可稀释 10 mM 的贮存液，并掺入标记的 GTP 制备 GTP 混合液。

  • 实验技巧

    It is important to ensure that the RNA is purified prior to use. It should be suspended in nuclease-free water free from EDTA and salts.

    Heating the RNA at 65°C for 5 minutes prior to setting up the reaction removes secondary structures on the 5´ end of the transcript. Extend time to 10 minutes for RNA with known highly structured 5’ ends.

    SAM is unstable at pH 7–8, 37°C. Hence, it should be diluted just prior to starting the reaction.

    We strongly recommend wearing gloves, using nuclease-free tubes and reagents, and thoroughly cleaning pipettes and bench surfaces to avoid RNase contamination.
