Abstract

See full text

A method is disclosed for stabilizing histone stem-loop-containing mRNA by the addition of a chain-terminating nucleoside. The novel, synthetic mRNA contains a 3′ histone stem-loop sequence. At the 3′ end of the mRNA a chain-terminating nucleoside is incorporated, for example 3′-deoxyadenosine (cordycepin). The chain-terminating nucleoside blocks the addition of a 3′-terminal oligo(U) sequence to the mRNA containing the histone stem-loop. When the 3′-terminal oligo(U) sequence cannot be added, degradation of the mRNA is retarded. The mRNA then remains available to the translational machinery for a longer time, resulting in higher levels of protein synthesis.
