IRESite record type:
  promoter-less_plasmid_with_putative_IRES
The name of the plasmid:
(deltaSV40)pRstCVB3F
Description of the plasmid (facultative for promoter-less plasmid records):
The promoter-less plasmid was created by blunt-end ligation of (deltaSV40)pRSTF plasmid backbone (NotI/NcoI) with 2 fragments (NheI-PacI and NheI-XbaI) from pRstCVB3F plasmid. The region between PacI and NheI contained bases 2-46 of CVB3 5'-UTR.
The in vivo produced transcripts are heterogeneous (due to any of promoter?/splicing?/cleavage?/breakage?):
  no
The in vivo produced heterogeneous transcripts occur due to alternative splicing:
  no
A promoter reported in cDNA corresponding to IRES sequence:
  no (not convincing)

Remarks:
Jang et al. (2004) constructed this promoter-less plasmid (deltaSV40)pRstCVB3F but for an unknown reason this
plasmid lacks not only SV40 promoter/enhancer region as well as the chimeric intron and T7 promoter region
(the NheI site is just downstream after T7 promoter) but also authors have intentionally omitted also 45bp
long fragment between PacI and NheI sites containing bases 2-46 of CVB3 5'-UTR studied in pRstCVB3F plasmid:
taaaacagcctgtgggttgatcccacccacagggcccattgggcg and performed 3-fragment ligation instead of 2-fragment
ligation.

Jimenez et al. (2005) in Fig. 2C have confirmed the aberrant splicing issue and in Fig. 3C have shown at least
no strong promoter exists in CVB3 IRES using this plasmid.

In summary, it is not the very best plasmid construct to show that CVB3 IRES has no cryptic promoter activity.
Definitely, the pRstCVB3F plasmid contained the 45bp long IRES(promoter?) sequence in contrast to this
promoter-less vector.
