Cold-adapted RNA polymerase from Pseudomonas phage Njord improves synthesis of therapeutic mRNA.

An RNA polymerase identified in the genome of Pseudomonas phage Njord offers a promising tool for the synthesis of mRNA and other therapeutic nucleic acids. Originating from a marine microbial ecosystem, Njord RNAP transcribes RNA at high yield even under low temperature conditions. Key properties of the enzyme relevant to mRNA synthesis are presented including transcriptional fidelity, promoter specificity, incorporation of modified nucleotides, and the impurity profile of the RNA. Specific attention is given to the formation of contaminating double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) species. Analysis of transcription reactions shows that DNA-templated promoter-independent transcription is a major source of detectable dsRNA impurities and that Njord RNAP displays a minimal level of this activity. Consistent with the known inflammatory role of dsRNA in synthetic mRNA, transcriptomic analysis of cell culture and a live animal study demonstrates that mRNA synthesized with Njord RNAP elicits only a minimal immune response. This natural enzyme enables efficient mRNA synthesis at ambient temperature and produces transcripts essentially free of dsRNA, offering significant potential to streamline mRNA manufacturing processes.

Spectroscopic techniques for study of phosphodiester bond formation by Escherichia coli RNA polymerase.

Nucleotides containing the fluorophore 1-aminonaphthalene-5-sulfonate attached to the gamma phosphoryl group via a phosphoamidate bond are excellent substrates for Escherichia coli DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Cleavage of the alpha-beta-phosphoryl bond produces significant changes in both absorption and fluorescence spectra. These alterations provide a sensitive and precise means for continuous monitoring of transcription. Under appropriate conditions one can detect the utilization of less than 1 nmol of nucleotide. Since the spectroscopic techniques measure nucleotide utilization they can be used in conjunction with measurements of incorporation of radiolabeled precursor such as [3H]UTP into acid-insoluble material to determine whether significant amounts of acid-soluble oligonucleotides are formed.

Synthesis and properties of fluorescent nucleotide substrates for DNA-dependent RNA polymerases.

A new class of fluorescent nucleotide analogs which contain the fluorophore 1-aminonaphthalene-5-sulfonate attached via a gamma-phosphoamidate bond has been synthesized. Both the purine and pyrimidine analogs have fluorescence emission maxima at 460 nm. Cleavage of the alpha-beta-phosphoryl bond produces change in both the absorption and fluorescence emission spectra. The fluorescence of the pyrimidine analogs is quenched; cleavage of the alpha-beta-phosphoryl bond of the UTP analog produces about a 14-fold increase in fluorescence intensity at 500 nm. Under the same conditions the fluorescence of the CTP analog increases about 8-fold, whereas the fluorescence of the purine analogs shows only a slight change. These derivatives are good substrates for Escherichia coli RNA polymerase with only slightly increased Km values and with Vmax values about 50 to 70% that of the normal nucleotides. They are used less efficiently by wheat germ RNA polymerase II. The ATP analog can be used by E. coli RNA polymerase to initiate RNA chains.
