Histidine tag (8 AA) and RFP semi-permanent generator

This generator is capable of synthesizing a RFP (+histidine tag) polymer. This generator consists of a circularization device (5’ side), histidine tag (8 AA) and RFP (without stop codon) and a circularization device (3’ side). A mRNA is circular, so translation continues semi-permanently. A synthesis of the RFP (+histidine tag) become possible by a simply transformation, but the coloration of RFP is weak.

Existence proof of circular mRNA

Summary　of the experiment

The existence of circular mRNA is confirmed by RNase processing. RNA is decomposed by RNaseA (endoribonuclease). Endogenous RNA (GAPDH) is decomposed by RNaseR (exoribonuclease), but circular RNA is not decomposed. Double-stranded DNA from undecomposed RNA can be gained with RT-PCR. So the existence of circular mRNA is confirmed by the observation of the DNA with electrophoresis.

Flow of the experiment

Purpose: proving the existence of circular mRNA
Goal: finding the RNA that is decomposed by endoribonuclease but is not decomposed by exoribonuclease.
Protocol:
1. RNase processing: to find the circular mRNA
2. RT-PCR: to synthesize cDNA and to detect the cDNA synthesized from circular mRNA or endogenous RNA
3. Electrophoresis: to detect the DNA synthesized from the cDNA
