Viral mRNA synthesized in vitro by reovirusassociated enzymes contained 5'-terminal ppG, GpppG, or m7GpppGm. Selective synthesis of one type of 5'-end was obtained by adjusting the composition of the transcription reaction mixture based on a series of reactions proposed for formation of blocked, methylated 5'-terminal sequences of mRNA (capformation). The presence of inorganic pyrophosphate increased the proportion of ppG 5'-ends, while addition of pyrophosphatase yielded mRNA with 5'-terminal GpppG, which in the presence of a methyl donor was converted to m7GpppGm.
呼肠孤病毒相关酶在体外合成的病毒信使核糖核酸(mRNA)含有5'-末端的三磷酸鸟苷(ppG)、鸟苷四磷酸(GpppG)或7-甲基鸟苷四磷酸(m7GpppGm)。基于一系列提出的用于形成封闭的、甲基化的mRNA 5'-末端序列(帽形成)的反应,通过调整转录反应混合物的组成,可选择性合成一种类型的5'-末端。无机焦磷酸的存在增加了ppG 5'-末端的比例,而添加焦磷酸酶则产生具有5'-末端GpppG的mRNA,在甲基供体存在的情况下,其可转化为m7GpppGm。
