RESUMO

2'-Fluoro- and 2'-amino-2'-deoxynucleoside triphosphates have been used for in vitro transcription of 2'-modified luciferase mRNA. The 2'-modified deoxynucleoside-containing transcripts were tested for the expression of luciferase in X.Laevis oocytes as well as in rabbit reticulocyte lysate. Only 2'-fluoro-2'-deoxy-adenosine-modified mRNA gave rise to luciferase as shown by SDS gel as well as by enzyme activity measurements in vivo as well as in vitro. 2'-Fluoro-2'-deoxy-pyrimidine nucleoside-modified mRNA did not give rise to luciferase activity. However, they directed incorporation of 35S-labeled methionine into peptide fragments in rabbit reticulocyte lysate indicating premature termination of translation. No or only extremely little of such incorporation could be detected with 2'-amino modified transcripts.
