The present invention relates to the technical field of nucleic acids, and in particular, to a method for precisely preparing a circular RNA with anintron self-cleaving ribozyme. By redesigning a target nucleic acid sequence of a linear RNA, selecting a site suitable for precise cleavage by the intron self-cleaving ribozyme, and removing exon sequences from theintron self-cleaving ribozyme, precise cyclization of RNAs after in vitro transcription is achieved. The method provided by the present invention solves the problem in the prior art that linear RNAs cannot be precisely cyclized during the process of generating circular RNAs in vitro, and provides an ideal in vitro preparation method for circular RNA applications.

The present invention relates to the technical field of molecular biology, and in particular, to a mutant-type RNase R and a preparation method therefor and application thereof. The mutant-type RNase R provided by the present invention is designated RNase R_ΔM8, an amino acid sequence of which is shown as SEQ ID NO. 5, and a nucleotide sequence encoding the amino acid sequence is shown as SEQ ID NO. 6. Preparation processes of the mutant-type RNase R_ΔM8 provided by the present invention include vector construction, vector transformation, protein induction expression, bacteria collection, protein purification, activity assay, etc. The mutant-type RNase R provided by the present invention improves the expression yield and salt tolerance of RNase R and is beneficial to meeting diverse RNA sample requirements.
