biotechnology | RNase P of Escherichia coli contains a catalytic RNA subunit (M1 RNA) that can be engineered to cleave tRNA-like substrates and other target RNAs, including specific mRNAs. The enzyme can be expressed in infected human U373MG cells or fibroblasts, or in murine PA317 cells, and therein be used for inhibition of targeting and cleavage of host RNA by Human cytomegalovirus enzyme, HCMV strain AD169, through blocking substrate mRNA expression, methods of using engineered RNase P catalytic RNA for in vitro and in vivo in trans-cleavage of target viral mRNA, overview. customized M1GS RNA and full-length RNase P are effective in cleaving both viral and cellular mRNAs and blocking their expression in cultured cells | Escherichia coli |
