IRESite record type: plasmid_with_promoter_and_putative_IRES_translationally_characterized
The shape of the nucleic acid molecule translated: linear
The quality of the mRNA/+RNA sequence: our_best_guess
The mRNA/+RNA description:
In vivo spliced transcript derived through CMV IE promoter containing Renilla and firefly luciferases and
terminated after the SV40 late poly(A) signal.
The mRNA/+RNA sequence represented in the +DNA notation:
Warning: mRNA sequence when devoid of trailing 'A's is still not a substring of the plasmid sequence. Is it because an intron is spliced out? Stay calm then. :-)
Credibility of mRNA sequence: end-to-end_sequence_reverse_engineered_and_should_match_experiment
The relative translation efficiency in % of this IRES: 100.000
Name of the plasmid used as the negative control. pR-F
IRESite Id of the plasmid used as negative control. 584
The relative translation efficiency in % of the negative control: 25.000
The size (length) of intercistronic region in the negative control: 112
The effect of 5'-cap analogs on translation: not tested
Rapamycin affects translation: not tested
Type of RNA subject to translation: endogenous_nuclear_RNA_Pol_II_transcript
Remarks:
Measured luciferase activity values were provided by M. Petz for Figure 3C.
Additional notes from M Petz:
Concerning Fig. 3A, I have checked the data again. The experiment was repeated several times and the ß-Gal
activities of the cotransfected plamid were always quite equal. The normalisation to the ß-gal values did
not affect the ratio of the firefly activities in any significant way.
