Description

Ribonucleic acid purification partner and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of separation and purification of ribonucleic acid, and relates to a ribonucleic acid purification mate and application thereof.
Background
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a long-chain polymer formed by condensing ribonucleotide through a phosphodiester bond, and is widely applied to the fields of biology, medicine, nanotechnology and the like. In organisms, RNA is key in the central rule for kinesin synthesis. RNA related research such as structural, biochemical and vaccinology research requires high purity RNA. Purification of the sample is therefore a critical step in RNA research.
Currently, a variety of liquid chromatography techniques have been used to purify RNA in vivo or obtained by in vitro transcription, including: affinity chromatography, size exclusion chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, reverse phase ion pair chromatography, and the like. The anion exchange chromatography adsorbs the biomolecules by electrostatic attraction between positively charged ligands and negatively charged biomolecules on a chromatographic medium, and then desorbs and elutes the biomolecules adsorbed on the medium by increasing the salt concentration in the eluent and shielding the charge effect. The presence of a large number of negatively charged phosphate groups on the RNA strand makes it negatively charged over a wide pH range, suitable for purification using anion exchange chromatography. Although anion exchange chromatography can be suitable for RNA purification, conventional ion exchange high salt elution conditions may not completely dissociate RNA from positively charged ligands due to the strong negative charge of RNA, resulting in low recovery of the elution. In response to similar problems, there are reports in the relevant literature of optimized methods to facilitate elution of DNA from solid phase adsorption surface materials.
However, these methods for optimizing the elution of DNA are not suitable for RNA because RNA is more unstable than protein or DNA, its structure is more susceptible to degradation by temperature, pH and ribonuclease, and thus it is difficult to store for a long period of time, and the structural integrity of RNA is crucial for its biological activity. Therefore, how to maintain the stability of purified RNA is an important issue to be focused on in RNA research. At present, in addition to preventing RNA degradation by low-temperature storage (-80 ℃ to-20 ℃), improving the stability of the RNA self-structure and inhibiting the degradation of RNA by ribonuclease are two main strategies for stabilizing RNA at present. For example, the mRNA itself may be structurally stabilized by capping the 5 'end of the mRNA, pseudouracil modifying the coding region, or adding poly A to its 3' end. Or using cations such as Mg 2+ 、K + 、Na + And the like shields the negatively charged phosphate group and the chelated 2' hydroxyl group in the RNA skeleton to improve the structural stability of the RNA. By using diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC), vanadyl riboside complexesNuclease inhibitors such as compound (RVC), guanidinium isothiocyanate or RNase inhibit the activity of ribonuclease in liquid chromatography buffers or RNA stocks. However, the existing RNA stabilizers have only a single function, and cannot simultaneously stabilize the RNA structure and inhibit the activity of ribonuclease.
Therefore, how to achieve both improvement of elution efficiency in RNA purification and maintenance of RNA stability after purification has become an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art.
