FAQ
What are the differences between mRNA caps and capping methods?
Cap 0 refers to N7-methylguanosine (m7G) that is added to the 5’ end of eukaryotic mRNAs via a 5’ to 5’ triphosphate linkage. This modification is added via a series of enzymatic reactions that occur co-transcriptionally and functions to regulate nuclear export, transcript stability, and promotes translation of the mRNA through recognition by eukaryotic translation initiation factor (eIF4E). Cap 1 refers to the addition of a methyl group to the 2’O on the first nucleotide (m7GpppNm) of the transcribed mRNA sequence in addition to the m7G cap. In mammalian cells, cap 1 structure is an important marker for mRNA to be recognized as self and not targeted by innate immunity. Adding cap 1 structure to synthesized mRNA has been demonstrated to enhance mRNA expression in vivo and reduced its immunogenicity.
Capping for in vitro transcribed RNA can occur either co-transcriptionally with cap analogs or post-transcriptionally via enzymatic reactions. The efficiency of our capping method has been well validated using LC-MS.
Why should I consider incorporating modified nucleotides in mRNA and which ones can be included?
Cells contain cytosolic and endosomal RNA receptors that activate the immune response upon recognition of foreign RNA. Modified nucleotides are commonly found in endogenous cellular RNA. Incorporating certain modified nucleotides in mRNA reduces its immunogenicity, alters secondary structure, and increases translation efficiency and half-life in a sequence-dependent manner. We provide the commonly used N1-Methylpseudouridine (m1Ψ). N1-Methylpseudouridine (m1Ψ) is a naturally occurring nucleotide that was first identified in tRNAs, however, its use in coding mRNAs has only recently been appreciated. This methylated derivative of uridine can replace the canonical nucleotide uridine in mRNA IVT and translation without altering traditional Watson-Crick base pairing. A major advantage of its use in mRNA therapeutics is its ability to alter recognition by RNA immune receptors thus mitigating unwanted immune effects and enhancing transcript stability and translation.
