摘要:
A method for synthesizing a cDNA containing the 5'-terminal sequence of a full-length mRNA having a cap structure from an mRNA sample containing the full-length mRNA having the above cap structure together with a non-full-length mRNA having no cap structure. This method comprises the first step of eliminating the 5'-terminal phosphate group of the non-full-length mRNA in the mRNA sample, the second step of eliminating the 5'-terminal cap structure of the full-length mRNA in the mRNA sample, the third step of bonding an oligonucleotide to the 5'-terminal phosphate group of the mRNA which has been formed in the sample via the first and second steps, and the fourth step of synthesizing the first strand cDNA by subjecting to a treatment with a reverse transcriptase the mRNA carrying the oligonucleotide bonded to the 5'-terminal phosphate group thereof in the third step with the use of a primer comprising a short-chain oligonucleotide annealing with a sequence in the middle of the mRNA.
摘要:
An RNA polymerase comprising a wild type RNA polymerase with at least one amino acid modified so as to have a higher ability of incorporating 3'-deoxyribonucleotide or a derivative thereof than that of the corresponding wild type RNA polymerase. Specifically, for example, an RNA polymerase comprising a wild type RNA polymerase wherein at least one amino acid present in the nucleotide bonding site, for example, phenylalanine, is substituted by tyrosine. The RNA polymerase has little or no bias of incorporation between ribonucleotide and 3'-deoxyribonucleotide, between ribonucleotides having different bases, and between deoxyribonucleotides having different bases.

Disclosed are RNA polymerases consisting of a wild type RNA polymerase provided that at least one of amino acids in the wild type RNA polymerase has been modified to enhance its ability for incorporating 3'-deoxyribonucleotides and derivatives thereof in comparison with the corresponding wild type RNA polymerases. Specifically, disclosed are, for example, the RNA polymerases wherein at least one amino acid present in a nucleotide binding sites of the wild type RNA polymerases such as phenylalanine has been replaced with tyrosine. The RNA polymerases of the present invention are a RNA polymerase which exhibits little or no bias for incorporation between ribonucleotides and 3'-deoxyribonucleotide as well as among ribonucleotides having different base groups and among deoxyribonucleotides having different base groups.

摘要:
cDNA including the 5'-terminal sequence of full-length mRNA with a cap structure is synthesized from a mRNA sample containing the full-length mRNA with the cap structure and non-full-length mRNA without any cap structure in mixture. At the first step, the phosphate group at 5'-terminus of the non-full-length mRNA in the mRNA sample is removed. At the second step, the cap structure at the 5'-terminus of the full-length mRNA in the mRNA sample is removed. At the third step, an oligoribonucleotide is ligated to the phosphate group at 5'-terminus of mRNA generated through the first and second steps. At the fourth step, mRNA with the oligoribonucleotide ligated at the 5'-terminus thereof at the third step is subjected to a reverse transcriptase process using a short-chain oligonucleotide capable of being annealed to an intermediate sequence within the mRNA as primer, to synthesize a first-strand cDNA.
