The description of the protein encoded in this ORF: firefly luciferase
The translational frameshift (ribosome slippage) involved: 0
The ribosome read-through involved: no
The alternative forms of this protein occur by the alternative initiation of translation: not tested
The ORF absolute position (the base range includes START and STOP codons or their equivalents): 976-2628
Remarks:
The plasmid pRL-HL (IRESite Id:185 and 186) with HCV IRES from K. Honda was mutated to introduce SacII, HCV
IRES was deleted through NotI/SacII and the plasmid blunt-ended and ligated. Internal 35nt long poly(A) region
was introduced.
The in vitro transcript was used in experiment shown Sherrill et al. (2004) in Fig. 2 and also
in works of van Eden et al. (2004) from the same lab.
