Real-time Visualization of Transcribed mRNA via Click Chemistry in a Liposomal Space
JOURNAL OF OLEO SCIENCE(2024)
摘要
We present a CuAAC (Copper-Catalyzed Azide-Alkyne Cycloaddition) reaction protocol designed for the visualization of mRNA. To achieve this, we synthesized stable mRNA molecules incorporating the modified nucleoside analog, EU, a crucial element for fluorophore attachment. Leveraging this modified mRNA, we successfully executed the CuAAC reaction, wherein the pro-fluorophore, coumarin, was conjugated to EU on the mRNA through our meticulously designed CuAAC process. This innovative approach resulted in the emission of fluorescence, enabling both precise quantification and visual observation of mRNA. Furthermore, we demonstrated the feasibility of concurrent mRNA synthesis and visualization by seamlessly integrating the CuAAC reaction mix into the mRNA transcription process. Additionally, our novel methodology opens avenues for prospective real-time monitoring of mRNA transcription within artificial cells. These advancements hold significant promise for expanding our comprehension of fundamental cellular processes and finding applications across diverse biological contexts in the future.
