Introduction

Only mRNA containing 7-methyl guanosine (M7G) cap structure at the 5'end and a Poly(A) tail at the 3'end can be effectively expressed in eukaryotic cells.Capped RNA synthesis kit enables the production of a large number of RNA containing a 5' Cap structure in vitro, which is capped to the 5' end of RNA by the use of anti-reverse Cap Analog (ARCA).

Using the control template supplied with the kit, each reaction will yield approximately 60-70 μg of RNA.

 

Poly(A) tailing of RNA

Tailings of mRNA can be obtained by Poly(A) Polymerase. Using this kit, approximately 100 base poly(A) tails can be added to RNA transcripts.

 

Materials provided with the kit

The kit contains sufficient reagents for 10 reaction of 20 μL each. Each standard reaction yield up to 70 μg of capped RNA, 2300 nt length, from 1 μg control template.

Kit procedure

Preparation of template DNA

Linearized plasmid DNA and PCR products that contain aT7 polymerase promoter site can be used as templates for in vitro transcription with this kit. In general, any DNA with a T7 promoter site that is pure enough to be easily digested with restriction enzymes can be used for in vitro transcription.

Plasmid templates

DNA templates are usually linearized prior to in vitro transcription to produce RNA of defined length. Linearize the DNA by digestion with an appropriate restriction endonuclease followed by an appropriate clean-up procedure, such as phenol extraction followed by ethanol precipitation. Start with at least 30% more DNA than is required for the transcription reaction to allow for DNA loss during purification and visualization by gel electrophoresis.

The restriction enzyme used to linearize the plasmid should leave blunt ends or 5' overhangs (linearization of template with an enzyme that produces a 3' overhang will result in aberrant transcripts).DNA should be digested in a minimum volume of 10 μL per ug of DNA, using the buffer and temperature recommended for each enzyme.

Linearized DNA can be used straight from the digestion reaction if desired, with only a slight reduction of yield (< 10%). However, digestion reactions must be heat-denatured at 65°C for 20 minutes prior to transcription. Template linearized DNA from restriction digestion reaction should not constitute more than 10% of the total transcription volume.

Optimal RNA yields depend on a high-quality DNA template. The DNA template must be free of RNase. If the presence of RNase is suspected, treat the DNA with ProteinaseK (100 μg/mL) and SDS (0.5%) in 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 5mM CaCl2 for 30minutes at 37°C. Purify the DNA further by extraction with TE-saturated (pH 8.0) phenol:chloroform: isopropanol (25:24:1) and ethanol precipitation.

 

PCR Templates

DNA generated by PCR can be transcribed directly from the PCR provided it contains a T7 Polymerase promoter upstream of the sequence to be transcribed. PCR products should be examined on an agarose gel before use as a template in to estimate concentration, and to verify that the products are unique and the expected size.

mRNA Synthesis Protocols

We strongly recommend wearing gloves and using nuclease-free tubes and reagents to avoid RNase contamination. Reactions are typically 20 μL but can be scaled up and down as needed. Reactions should be assembled in nuclease-free microfuge tubes or PCR strip tubes.

1. Assemble transcription reaction at room temp.

The spermidine in the 5× Reaction Buffer can coprecipitate the template DNA if the reaction is assembled on ice.

Add the Reaction Buffer after the water and the ribonucleotides are already in the tube.

The following amounts are for a single 20 μL reaction. Reactions may be scaled up or down if desired.

Template DNA

1 μg*

5× Reaction Buffer

4 μL

Enzyme Mix

1 μL

*The transcript may vary depending on the amount of template DNA.

 

2. Mix thoroughly

Gently flick the tube or pipette the mixture up and down gently, and then microfuge tube briefly to collect the reaction mixture at the bottom of the tube.

 

3. Incubate at 37°C, 2 hr.

Typically, 2 hours of incubation is sufficient. Incubation time can be extended to 4h for maximum yield.

 

4. (optional) Add 1 μL DNase (RNase-free), mix well and incubate 30 min at 37°C.

This DNase treatment removes the template DNA. For many applications it may not be necessary because the template DNA will be present at a very low concentration relative to the RNA.

a. Add 1 μL DNaseI,and mix well (the reaction may be viscous).

b. Incubate at 37°C for 30 min.

 

5. Poly(A) tailing procedure. Set up the tailing reaction as below. The IVT reaction solution does not need to be purified.

Poly(A) polymerase

10 μL

ATP solution

3 μL

H2O

237 μL

Mix thoroughly and pulse-spin in a microfuge. Incubate at 37°C for 30 minutes.

30 min tailings will provide A poly(A) tail of 150 nt or longer for most mRNAs. If a longer polyA tail is needed, the time can be extended to 45min.

 

6.Analysis of transcription products by gel electrophoresis.

a. To get good resolution of the RNA, load 0.2-1 μg per gel lane.

b. To each sample, add three volumes of Gel Loading Buffer.

c. Heat for 3-5 min at 70°C.

d. Load onto gel.

e. Visualizing RNA by staining the gel with ethidium bromide.

 

Recovery of the RNA

The degree of purification required after the transcription reaction depends on what will be done with the RNA. Two different methods follow; choose one or more according to your application and resources.

 

Ammonium acetate precipitation

Selectively precipitates RNA, while leaving most of the protein and unincorporated rNTP in the supernatant. Note: for this method, the RNA to be purified must be >100 bases in size.

1) Add one volume of 5 M ammonium acetate (21 μL for the standard reaction), mix well.

2) Incubate for 30 minutes on ice.

3) Pellet the RNA by centrifugation at >10,000 x g for 15 minutes at 4°C.

4) Remove the supernatant with a pipette and gently rinse the pellet with 70% ethanol.

5) Remove the 70% ethanol with a pipette without disturbing the RNA pellet.

6) Allow pellet to dry, then resuspend in Nuclease-free Water, TE or other suitable buffer.

7) While usually unnecessary, steps 1-6 may be repeated a second time for even cleaner RNA.

8) Allow the pellet to dry, then resuspend in 25 μL of Nuclease-free Water or TE buffer

9)Store frozen at -20°C or -70°C.

 

Lithium chlorideprecipitation

Lithium Chloride (LiCl) precipitation is a convenient and effective way to remove unincorporated nucleotides and most proteins. Lithium chloride precipitation, however, does not precipitate transfer RNA and may not efficiently precipitate RNAs smaller than 300 nucleotides. Also, the concentration of RNA should be at least 0.1 μg/μL to assure efficient precipitation. To precipitate from reactions that are thought to have very low yields of RNA, do not dilute the transcription reaction with water prior to adding the LiCl Precipitation Solution in the step below.

1) Stop the reaction and precipitate the RNA by adding 30 μL Nuclease-free Water and 30 μL LiCl Precipitation Solution.

2) Mix thoroughly. Incubate for 30 minutes on ice.

3) Pellet the RNA by centrifugation at >10,000 x g for 15 minutes at 4°C.

4) Remove the supernatant with a pipette and gently rinse the pellet with 70% ethanol.

5) Remove the 70% ethanol with a pipette without disturbing the RNA pellet.

6) Allow pellet to dry, then resuspend in Nuclease-free Water, TE or other suitable buffer.

7) While usually unnecessary, steps 1-6 may be repeated a second time for even cleaner RNA.

8) Allow the pellet to dry, then resuspend in 25 μL of Nuclease-free Water or TE buffer.

9) Store frozen at -20°C or-70°C.

 

Phenol: chloroform extraction and isopropanol precipitation

It will remove all enzyme and most of the free nucleotides from High Yield T7 RNA Synthesis Kit reactions.

 

1) Add 115 μL Nuclease-free Water and 15 μL 5 M ammonium acetate, and mix thoroughly.

2) Extract with an equal volume of phenol/chloroform (it can be water-saturated, buffer-saturated, or acidic), and then with an equal volume of chloroform. Recover aqueous phase and transfer to new tube.

3) Precipitate the RNA by adding 1 volume of isopropanol and mixing well.

4) Incubate for 15 minutes at -20°C.

5) Pellet the RNA by centrifugation at >10,000 x g for 15 minutes at 4°C.

6) Remove the supernatant with a pipette and gently rinse the pellet with 70% ethanol.

7) Remove the 70% ethanol with a pipette without disturbing the RNA pellet.

8) Allow pellet to dry, then resuspend in Nuclease-free Water, TE or other suitable buffer.

9) Allow the pellet to dry, then resuspend in 25 μL of Nuclease-free Water or TE buffer.

10) Store frozen at -20°C or -70°C.

 

Quantitating RNA Yield Using Spectrophotometry

Reading the A260 of a diluted aliquot of the reaction is clearly the simplest way to determine yield, but any unincorporated nucleotides and/or template DNA in the mixture will contribute to the reading. Note Accurate spectrophotometric measurement requires an OD260 ≥ 0.05.

1. Blank the spectrophotometer at 260 nm with an appropriate buffer (e.g., 10 mM Tris, pH 7.5) near neutral pH.

2. Prepare an appropriate dilution of the RNA (1:50–1:100) in the same buffer used to blank the spectrophotometer. Place a piece of laboratory film (e.g., Parafilm? laboratory film) over the top of the cuvette and mix the sample well. The conversion factor for RNA is 0.040 μg/μL per OD260 unit. Take the spectrophotometric reading. For a reading of 0.50, calculate the concentration as follows:

Concentration = A260 × dilution factor × conversion factor

Example 0.50 × 500/5 × 0.040 μg/μL = 2 μg/μL

3. Calculate the yield of RNA by multiplying the volume in microliters by the concentration. The sample volume in this example is 25 μL, therefore, the RNA yield is 50 μg.
