Ligation of RNA molecules with T4 RNA ligase

T4RNA ligases have been used to generate many site-specific modified RNAs, especially oligonucleotide-modified and tRNA-modified with antisense codon tRNAs.In addition, T4RNA ligases have been used for intramolecular/intermolecular ligation of RNA/DNA, ligation of methylated oligodeoxyribonucleotides, cloning of full-length cDNAs, and incorporation of unnatural amino acids into protein molecules.

Move

I Materials and equipment

1) 10XT4RNA ligase buffer: 50 mmol/LTris (pH 7,8), l0 mmol/L MgCl₂, 5 mmol/LDTT,1 mmol/L ATP

2) Nuclease-free water

3) FEG (polyethyleneglycol) 40%

4)RNAase inhibitor

5)T4RNA ligase

6) Donor RNA

7) Acceptor RNA


(ii) Methods of operation

1) The reaction system for joining RNA to RNA molecules is as follows:

Donor RNA 100-500ng

acceptor RNA 250ng

10XT4RNA Ligase Buffer 4ul

RNasin Nuclease Inhibitor (40U/ul) 1ul

PEG, 40% 20ul

T4RNA Ligase (9-12U/u1) 1ul

Make up nuclease-free water to a final volume of 4 u1

2) Incubate at 37℃ for 30 min, or incubate at 16℃ overnight.

3) Recover by purification and store at 20 °C.

Caveat

1) Donor RNA molecules such as Poly(A)+RNA) must contain a 5' phosphate group.RNA) must contain a 5' phosphate group.2) The RNA molecule can be efficiently phosphorylated by poly(A) + RNA.
