Remarks:
The genomic sequence was in silico assembled by IRESite curator as a merge of sequences provided by T. Hinton
and merged with GI:2231133 from the same lab. The sequences mostly overlap, so in summary 59bp sequence
'TTAAGCTTGTACCTGTAGCGTCAGTAAAACGCAGAAACCAAACGCAATTGCCTGTAGCG' was prepended to the original GenBank record.
According to the article by Hinton et al. (2000) they studied only the 5'-UTR region downstream the poly(C)
tract and thus their base position +1 was actually the one downstream poly(C) tract. Thus, the sequence
reconstructed here is still an incomplete genome at the 5'-end at least.

There are two AUGAUG regions: 852-857 and 915-920. Results indicate that translation predominantly occurs from
the first pair of AUG codons and that the latter 855-AUG-857 appears to be the major initiator. Translation in
ERAV also appears to initiate from the second pair of AUG codons, probably 918-AUG-920, but this occurs at
only about 1/10 of the level of initiation from 850-AUG-857. Full IRES activity requires nt 245 to 961
downstream of the poly(C) tract. Bicistronic T7 transcripts were transcribed in vivo in recombinant vaccinia
virus infected human cells BHK21.

Remarks:
Deletion of the 5' end to nt 245 had no apparent effect on the IRES activity. A further 5' truncation to nt
338 caused a substantial decrease in the IRES activity. Truncation of the 3' end of the IRES to nt 921 also
led to reduction in IRES activity.
