    Abstract:
    Transcription of RNA molecules from synthetic DNA templates with T7 RNA polymerase is a common procedure for the preparation of long RNA molecules. However, enzymatic synthesis does not allow for site-specific incorporation of modified nucleotides. RNA synthesis by chemical methods on the other side can satisfy this purpose, but it is limited to RNA fragments of about 80 nucleotides at maximum. We aimed to combine both chemical and enzymatic procedures to synthesise RNA molecules by RNA primed transcription with T7 RNA polymerase. To this end we have chemically synthesised a fluorescein labelled RNA primer and studied elongation of this primer by T7 RNA polymerase on a single-stranded DNA template. We show that the enzyme is capable of extending the primer to the full-length product. The 34-mer RNA that has been synthesised by RNA primed transcription served as substrate for a twin ribozyme and was successfully cleaved in the expected manner.
