[0135] Next, although an Example etc. demonstrate this invention in detail, this invention is not limited to these examples.

[0136]

[0137] Plasmids used in the following experiments were prepared as follows.

[0138] Fusion to the NheI / NotI site of pEGFP-N1 (manufactured by Clontech) and subcloning 3×NLS (LVPKKKRKVVPKKKKRKVVPKKKKVFEGPDPPV: SEQ ID NO: 21) and iRFP713 (hereinafter referred to as "iRFP", kindly presented by Mr. Michiyuki Matsuda, non-patent literature 11) coding sequence to obtain pNLS-iRFP. In order to screen candidates for paired fluorescence-generating RNAs (candidate RNAs) of DFHBI family molecules, F30-2×dBroccoli was obtained by PCR amplification from pAV5S-F30-2×dBroccoli (#66845, manufactured by Addgene). Other RNAs are constructed by synthesizing oligonucleotide fragments. These oligonucleotide fragments were subcloned into the NotI site of pNLS-iRFP using In-Fusion (manufactured by Clontech Corporation). Primers for In-Fusion were designed in s...

reference example 1

[0144] F30-2×dBroccoli (made by inserting the nucleotide sequence of dBroccoli at two places on the ring structure in the F30 scaffold sequence, SEQ ID NO: 22) is considered to have the highest fluorescence intensity among Broccoli mutants. Therefore, first, in order to investigate whether this F30-2×dBroccoli can visualize RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-dependent mRNA in human cells, downstream of the RNA polymerase II-dependent CMV promoter, DFHBI- F30-2×dBroccoli, which emits green fluorescence in the presence of 1T, was expressed in HEK293T cells together with NLS-iRFP (nucleus-localized infrared fluorescent protein iRFP). Specifically, the plasmid vector (pNLS-iRFP-#0) was transfected into HEK293T cells, and DFHBI-1T was added to the culture medium for culture, wherein the plasmid vector (pNLS-iRFP-#0) was introduced into pNLS-iRFP expressing NLS-iRFP is formed by integrating F30-2×dBroccoli into the 3' untranslated region of pNLS-iRFP.

[0145] As a result, the NLS-iRFP-pos...

Embodiment 1

[0148] Screening the fluorescent RNA paired with the DFHBI family molecule is the fluorescent RNA capable of improving the intensity of the generated fluorescence by combining with the DFHBI family molecule.

[0149] Such as figure 1 As shown, the sequences of well-known fluorescent molecule binding aptamers such as Spinach and Broccoli are similar, and are composed of a terminal stem (Terminal stem), a G-quadruplex, a stem-loop (Stem-loop), and a connector (Connector). These segments are determined by the crystal structure of Spinach and the base sequence alignment with other fluorescent molecule binding aptamers.

[0150] A:G purine-purine mismatches and C-G Watson-Click base pairs in the double-strand-four-strand transition region contained in the Spinach mutant were shown in the terminal stem to greatly affect the brightness of the aptamer in the cellular environment (non-patent literature 9). Thus, GAGAC-GGCUC was used for the terminal stem sequence.

Abstract

The present invention provides: a fluorogenic RNA capable of visualizing mRNA in the cell, in particular, in a living cell of a mammal; and a target-RNA fluorescent labeling method utilizing the same. The present invention provides a fluorogenic nucleic acid molecule characterized in that: a base sequence in which two or more fluorescent-molecule binding regions are linked via a linker sequence is contained; and the fluorescent-molecule binding regions each have one or more fluorescent-molecule binding aptamer sequences inserted into a scaffold sequence.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a fluorescence-generating nucleic acid molecule (fluorescent nucleic acid molecule) for fluorescently labeling RNA, and a method for fluorescently labeling target RNA using the fluorescence-generating nucleic acid molecule. [0002] This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2018-226743 filed in Japan on December 3, 2018, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Background technique [0003] To better understand how gene expression is controlled at the mRNA level, a method to visualize the spatiotemporal dynamics of mRNA in living cells is strongly desired. Adding RNA stem-loop tags such as MS2 or PP713 to target mRNAs and recruiting proteins fused with fluorescent molecules is a method commonly used to visualize mRNAs in living cells. This technique is used to track the activity of mRNA in the cytoplasm (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1) or to visualize nascent ...
