Abstract
The present invention provides a cyclic RNA preferable for carrying out rotary protein translation in which translation domains other than that of the target protein are sufficiently short and translation efficiency is high, and a method for producing protein that uses this cyclic RNA as template. More specifically, the present invention provides a cyclic RNA that encodes a protein, has a full-length number of bases that is equal to or greater than 102 and is a multiple of 3, has at least one start codon, does not have a stop codon in the same reading frame as the start codon, and does not contain an internal ribosome entry site (IRES). In addition, the present invention provides a method for producing protein in a eukaryotic cell expression system that consists of using the aforementioned cyclic RNA as template and expressing a protein encoded by that cyclic RNA.
