Chemically synthesized circular RNAs with phosphoramidate linkages enable rolling circle translation. Issue 46 (5th May 2020) - Nakamoto, Kosuke
Abstract : Circular RNA without a stop codon enables rolling circle translation. we carried out one-pot chemical synthesis of circular RNA from RNA fragments. The synthesized circular RNAs acted as translation templates, despite the presence of unnatural phosphoramidate linkages. Abstract : Circular RNA without a stop codon enables rolling circle translation. To produce circular RNAs, we carried out one-pot chemical synthesis of circular RNA from RNA fragments with the use of an EDC/HOBt-based chemical ligation reaction. The synthesized circular RNAs acted as translation templates, despite the presence of unnatural phosphoramidate linkages.
