Drug developers & researchers can now
leverage the CleanScribe enzyme to reduce dsRNA formation by up to
85% in mRNA synthesis without compromising mRNA yield, capping
efficiency, or integrity
TriLink BioTechnologies and Alphazyme, both part of Maravai
LifeSciences, have collaborated to launch CleanScribe™ RNA
Polymerase, a novel enzyme that reduces double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)
in mRNA production. The new product reduces dsRNA by up to 85%,
helping to develop safer, more potent mRNA therapeutics.
CleanScribe RNA Polymerase is a novel DNA-dependent RNA
polymerase that catalyzes the in vitro transcription (IVT) of a
recombinant gene regulated by the T7 promoter. During the IVT
reaction, dsRNA can be produced as a byproduct, which can trigger
undesirable inflammatory responses in host cells. The CleanScribe
enzyme drastically reduces dsRNA formation during IVT by up to 85%
compared to wild-type T7 RNA Polymerase.
“In this era of mRNA-based medicine, drug developers must
streamline their supply chain to remain agile and keep up with
demand,” said Justin Barbosa, VP and General Manager of TriLink
Discovery. “The integration of high-performing IVT enzymes, mRNA
capping analogs, and modified nucleotides are must-haves in mRNA
manufacturing.”
CleanScribe RNA Polymerase provides researchers with a simple
way to significantly reduce dsRNA in their IVT without compromising
other important mRNA quality attributes. The product’s robustness,
reproducibility, and dsRNA reduction make it ideal for mRNA
synthesis, saRNA synthesis, radiolabeled RNA probe preparation, and
RNA construct development for additional studies. It is also
straightforward for researchers to integrate the enzyme into their
IVT protocols without requiring extensive optimization.
“We’re thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with TriLink
on the launch of CleanScribe RNA Polymerase,” shared Chad Decker,
VP and General Manager at Alphazyme. “You can’t produce
high-quality mRNA-based therapeutics without high-quality raw
material, which is why the potential impact of this IVT enzyme on
the field is so exciting.”
In addition to its newly launched CleanScribe RNA Polymerase,
TriLink offers mRNA capping analogs (including the award-winning
CleanCap® M6), mRNA raw materials (nucleotides and other IVT
enzymes including wild-type T7 RNA polymerase), advanced scale-up
capabilities, and unrivaled expertise in mRNA, oligonucleotide, and
enzyme production. Leveraging more than 25 years of nucleic acid
experience, TriLink is dedicated to advancing therapeutics,
vaccines, and diagnostics by providing its customers with
high-quality technology and chemistry and Contract Development and
Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) services.
