Introduction

The twister ribozyme is an RNA molecule that is capable of self-cleavage at specific sites.The RNA exhibits nucleolytic ribozyme activity both in vitro and in vivo, with cleavage rates comparable to those of other nucleolytic ribozymes[1]. This grants it the ability to regulate polycistronic co-expression system[2]

Usage and Biology

The Twister ribozyme is a crucial component of our ribozyme-assisted polycistronic co-expression system：pRAP.

We incorporate the twister ribozyme between the coding CDSs in a polycistron. This ribozyme cleaves the polycistronic mRNA transcript, converting them into individual mono-cistrons. This process eliminates interactions between the cistrons, ensuring each mono-cistron has a comparable translation initiation rate. Subsequently, in conjunction with the RBS designed by the pRAPer software, we can modulate the translation initiation rate of individual mono-cistrons, enabling precise adjustment of the pRAP co-expression system.
