Remarks:
The intron region annotated in Clontech's PT3043-5.pdf does not follow the GT...AG intron consensus sequence.
The restriction site positions shown in the picture seem to be positions of the next base following
immediately after the place of cleavage. The sequence used here is the one from Clontech's website in the file
PT3043-SEQ.pdf from Mar 31 1998. Unfortunately, the document refers to GenBank sequence U89673 from 1997 which
is shorter by 4 bases after the IVS (intron) sequence while having several base
mismatches/insertions/deletions. We hope the sequence from 1998 is more correct. Let us note the sequence
deposited in GenBank contains immediately after the intron region PvuI site due to those extra 4 bases.

The mRNA sequence considered here is probably partly wrong due to the mis-annotated intron region by Clontech
and starts from the putative CMV immediate early promoter transcription start site and continues up to the
very end of BGH poly(A) signal.

Remarks:
We consider here the IRES sequence should map against the EMCV Rueckert strain and therefore is annotated
shorter on the left side because 'CG' bases do not align the poly(C) tract of the virus. By aligning the
plasmid against genomic sequence of the Rueckert strain (GenBank accession M81861) the region annotated by
IRESite is extended downstream up to the second ATG codon within EMCV polyprotein CDS region, so the IRES
spans +12nt into the ORF and effectively translation initiates at ATG[13-15] while the ATG[1-3] codon has been
mutated.


Alignment of the IRES cloned into pIRESneo against genomic Ruckert strain sequence is shown below:
