Abstract：Abstract: Human mRNA decapping enzyme 1a (Dcp1a) is one of the important members of mRNA decay. Construction of its eukaryotic expression vector and analysis of its expression and cellular localization can provide a basis for further study of the function of Dcp1a. In this study, HeLa cDNA library was used as the template resource. The full-length cDNA sequence of Dcp1a was amplified by PCR method and subcloned into pmCherry-N1 vector. After transformation into E. coli DH5α, the positive clones were picked for plasmid extraction and identification by Xho I/Sal I double digestion and sequencing analysis. Then the recombinant plasmid was transfected into HeLa cells with VigoFect transfection reagent, and the expression of Dcp1a in HeLa cells was detected by RT-PCR and Western-blot. The cellular localization of Dcp1a was observed by confocal microscopy. The results demonstrated that the sequence of Dcp1a gene was completely correct. The eukaryotic expression vector pmCherry-N1-Dcp1a was successfully constructed and Dcp1a was overexpressed in HeLa cells. The confocal results showed that Dcp1a was localized in the cytoplasm and its overexpression in HeLa cells significantly induced the formation of processing bodies (P-bodies). These results lay the foundation for further study on the functions of Dcp1a and its correlation with P-bodies.
