Synthesis of deoxynucleotide-containing RNA-like single-stranded polynucleotides (dcRNAs) using the Y639F, S641A mutant of T7 RNA polymerase (T7 RNAP) was studied. A number of different T7 promoter-containing plasmids were tested as templates for dcRNA synthesis. The dcRNA synthesis efficiency strongly depended on the sequence of the first 8-10 nucleotides immediately downstream of the promoter and increased with the distance of the first incorporated dNMP from the transcription start. The incorporation of dGMP which is obligatory for most T7 promoters in positions +1-+2(3) was practically negligible. Using the constructed plasmid pTZR7G containing seven dG links in the non-coding chain immediately downstream of the promoter, the synthesis of all possible dcRNAs (except dG-containing) was achieved with high yields.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid
D011401 Promoter Regions, Genetic DNA sequences which are recognized (directly or indirectly) and bound by a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase during the initiation of transcription.

D012321 DNA-Directed RNA Polymerases Enzymes that catalyze DNA template-directed extension of the 3'-end of an RNA strand one nucleotide at a time. They can initiate a chain de novo. In eukaryotes, three forms of the enzyme have been distinguished on the basis of sensitivity to alpha-amanitin, and the type of RNA synthesized. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992).
