7-Methyl-diguanosine triphosphate  (Synonyms: m7Gp3G)

7-Methyl-diguanosine triphosphate (m7Gp3G) is an mRNA cap structure analog that inhibits in vitro protein synthesis by binding to the translation initiation complex. 7-Methyl-diguanosine triphosphate binds to eIF4E, promotes cap-dependent translation initiation, stabilizes mRNA, and acts as a translation enhancer. 7-Methyl-diguanosine triphosphate can be used to prepare synthetic capped RNA transcripts for studies related to mRNA translation, splicing, turnover, and intracellular transport^[1][2].

7-Methyl-diguanosine triphosphate inhibits cap-dependent translation in a rabbit reticulocyte lysate system, with an inhibition constant (K_i) of 17 μM^[1].
7-Methyl-diguanosine triphosphate (5 μg per 107 cells; electroporation; single dose) confers differential in vivo stability to luciferase mRNAs based on their 3'-terminal structures, with 7-Methyl-diguanosine triphosphate-capped Luc-G16 mRNA having the longest half-life (246 min), and 7-Methyl-diguanosine triphosphate-capped Luc-A60 mRNA undergoing predominant 5'→3' degradation^[1].
7-Methyl-diguanosine triphosphate exhibits high affinity for the eukaryotic initiation factor eIF4E and can be used to generate affinity media for capturing and purifying initiation factors^[2].
The affinity of 7-Methyl-diguanosine triphosphate for the poly-specific ribonuclease (PARN) polypeptide is measured via fluorescence titration^[2].
