One-Pot Production of RNA in High Yield and Purity Through Cleaving Tandem Transcripts.


ABSTRACT: There is an increasing demand for efficient and robust production of short RNA molecules in both pharmaceutics and research. A standard method is in vitro transcription by T7 RNA polymerase. This method is sequence-dependent on efficiency and is limited to products longer than ~12 nucleotides. Additionally, the native initiation sequence is required to achieve high yields, putting a strain on sequence variability. Deviations from this sequence can lead to side products, requiring laborious purification, further decreasing yield. We here present transcribing tandem repeats of the target RNA sequence followed by site-specific cleavage to obtain RNA in high purity and yield. This approach makes use of a plasmid DNA template and RNase H-directed cleavage of the transcript. The method is simpler and faster than previous protocols, as it can be performed as one pot synthesis and provides at the same time higher yields of RNA.
