Mito-EGFP Probe mRNA (Cap-1; m1Ψ) encodes a fusion protein composed of a mitochondrial targeting sequence (Mito) and enhanced GFP (EGFP), a variant of A. victoria GFP that contains chromophore mutations that increase the sensitivity of the protein and displays excitation and emission maxima of 489 and 511 nm, respectively.1 It is capped using a co-transcriptional capping method, resulting in the naturally occurring Cap-1 structure with high capping efficiency. Mito-EGFP probe mRNA is also polyadenylated and modified with N1-methylpseudouridine (m1Ψ) to reduce the host cell immune response and enhance mRNA stability. It can be used in the study of mitochondrial structure and function in live cells. Encapsulation of Mito-EGFP probe mRNA (Cap-1; m1Ψ) in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) can be used for mRNA delivery and expression of Mito-EGFP.
