The mRNA obtained by in vitro transcription has not undergone a series of intracellular modifications, does not have the Cap structure and PolyA tail, is easily degraded, easily activates the immune response, cannot bind to the ribosome initiation protein, and cannot initiate protein translation. Therefore, in the industrialized mRNA production, It is necessary to use vaccinia virus capping enzyme to cap the IVT mRNA to obtain the Cap0 structure at the 5'end of the mRNA, and further use 2'-O-methyltransferase to convert Cap0 to Cap1. The cap structure introduced by enzymatic capping is completely consistent with the natural cap structure in eukaryotes, which fundamentally reduces the immunogenicity of exogenous mRNA while protecting it from degradation, improving translation efficiency, and increasing intracellular protein production. Enzymatic capping can achieve a maximum capping efficiency of 100%, while capping by chemically synthesized cap analog structures has relatively low capping efficiency, and the structure of cap analogs is different from the natural cap structure.
mRNA Cap 2´-O-Methyltransferas can use S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) as a methyl donor, at the 2´- end of the RNA 5´ end next to the first nucleotide of the cap structure (Cap 0) Add a methyl group to O to form mRNA with Cap 1 structure. The Cap1 structure can enhance the translation efficiency of mRNA, thereby increasing the expression level of the protein encoded by the mRNA after transfection. This enzyme can only use RNA with a 7-methylguanosine cap structure (m7GpppN) as a substrate, and will not act on RNA with pN, ppN, pppN or GpppN at the 5´ end. RNA with 7-methylguanosine cap structure (m7GpppN) can be prepared by Vaccinia Capping System (Cat. No: GMP-M062, Novoprotein).
This product is expressed in large-scale fermentation using Escherichia coli, is produced with medicinal specifications of raw materials, and strictly controls host protein residues, nucleic acid residues, etc., and conforms to GMP standard product production and quality management procedures to ensure that the production process and all raw materials can be traced.

Figure 1. mRNA cap structure 2´ -O-methyltransferase mechanism of action. The cap structure of mRNA consists of a 7-methylguanosine connected to the 5'nucleoside of the mRNA chain via a 5'-5' triphosphate bridge. The Cap-0 structure is formed by the sequential reaction of three adjacent RNA strands. The further formation of cap-1 structure requires the participation of 2′O methyltransferase, which can reduce the cellular innate immune response caused by RNA in the body.

Precautions
1. The RNA used in the reaction should be purified and dissolved in RNase-free water before use. The solution must not contain EDTA and salt;
2. When configuring the reaction system, it is recommended to use an RNase inhibitor to enhance the stability of RNA in the reaction. 0.5µl of RNase inhibitor (Cat. No: GMP-E125, Novoprotein) can be added, and the same volume of RNase-free water can be removed at the same time;
3. Heating RNA before the reaction can remove the secondary structure at the 5´ end. If the structure of the 5´ end of the transcription product is complex, the heating time can be extended to 10 minutes;
4. SAM is unstable at pH 7-8, 37°C and needs to be freshly configured before the reaction starts. The amount of SAM can be calculated in advance, and the 32 mM stock solution can be diluted to 4 mM working solution before the reaction starts. To avoid degradation of SAM, this working solution needs to be stored on ice.
