confirm only the RefSeq model up to bases around position 1320.

CR618567 - no poly(A)-tail, 1.22kb
CR603873 - no poly(A)-tail, 1.21kb

Based on the alignment to U46917 IRESite took over only the first 1318bp. The short extension found in 5'-UTR
of CR618366 which propagated into the RefSeq record is emphasized in lower-case letters. We cannot comment on
this more than that the extension is not conformed by other mRNA sequences.

All initiation codons of p50, p46, p36, p29 are in poor Kozak context and all are in-frame, so individual
isoforms of the BAG-1 protein share C-terminus and are shorter at the N-terminal end. The p29 isoform is
extremely rare and it is not always detected.

RNase protection method was used only to study integrity of pRBF in vivo transcripts (Fig. 3C).

Important data from several figures could not be processed due to the lack of sequences available to IRESite.
If the results are not an artifact they show that HRV IRES performs badly compared to c-myc IRES, EMCV IRES
and Bag-1 p36 IRES (pRBF). Figure 2B shows individual activities of renilla and firefly luciferases of pRF,
pRAF, pRBF, pREMCVF, pRHRVF, pRMF normalized to co-transfection control pcDNA3.1.

Figure 2C shows individual activities of renilla luciferase and chloramphenicol acetyltransferase of pRCAT,
pRBCAT, pRMCAT normalized to co-transfection control pcDNA3.1.

Figure 4 shows activity of IRES in various monocistronic constructs and relative amounts of various protein
isoforms produced in transiently transfected HeLa cells.

Remarks:
The secondary structural model of the Bag-1 IRES was derived by using the DMS, kethoxal and RNase V1
accessibility data to constrain the Mfold algorithm. Chemical treatment was carried out in 0 grades Celsius.
RNase V1 cleavage was performed at room temperature, protocol was adapted form the Ambion protocol.
