The shape of the nucleic acid molecule translated:

The quality of the mRNA/+RNA sequence:
  hopefully_full-length_mRNA
The mRNA/+RNA description: 
Putative in vivo transcript from SV40 promoter with the chimeric intron spliced out and containing
renilla_luciferase - hairpin_from_multiple_cloning_site - Kv1.4 IRES 1.2kb - firefly_luciferase and is
terminated after the late SV40 polyA signal. An FLuc-fusion protein should be translated from the second
cistron (4 aminoacids added extra).
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. :-)

Deletion of the chimeric intron resulted in lower FLuc activity observed (data were not shown).

Jimenez et al. (2005) in Fig. 3C have also shown that at least no strong promoter is contained in Kv1.4 but
also confirmed the aberrant splicing issue in the same figure.
