IRESite record type: negative_control_plasmid_with_promoter_and_without_putative_IRES
The shape of the nucleic acid molecule translated: linear
The quality of the mRNA/+RNA sequence: end-to-end_full-length_mRNA
The mRNA/+RNA description:
mRNA produced by tricistronic plasmid pRG-L666 which comprises DsRED2, L666 and EGFP ORFs. L666 clone was
selected from lambda phage library containing randomly cleaved phage lambda DNA for its low expression in vivo
(see Masek, et al.; 2007; PMID: 17554033).
The sequence ends at its 3'-end right after the poly(A) signal from SV40 mRNA and thus the 3'-UTR might be
slightly wrong.
The mRNA/+RNA sequence represented in the +DNA notation:
Credibility of mRNA sequence: end-to-end_sequence_completely_same_as_in_the_experiment
The in vivo produced transcripts are heterogeneous (due to any of promoter?/splicing?/cleavage?/breakage?): not tested
The in vivo produced heterogeneous transcripts occur due to alternative splicing: not tested
The DNA sequence of the plasmid in (+) orientation annotated by its secondary structure:
GenBank formatted file with annotated plasmid sequence hyperlinked from vector image map:
Plasmid sequence verified (partially/completely) by IRESite (more details in Remarks): plasmid sequence confirmed by IRESite curators by restriction analysis + parts by PCR + sequencing
A promoter reported in cDNA corresponding to IRES sequence: not tested
The total number of notable open-reading frames (ORFs): 3
Notable Open-Reading Frames (ORFs; protein coding regions) in the mRNA/+RNA sequence:
The description of the protein encoded in this ORF: red-shifted variant of wild-type GFP optimized for brighter fluorescence and higher expression in mammalian
cells (Clontech)
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): 1427-2146
Remarks:
IRESite notes about verification of plasmid sequence:
The complete sequence of L666 region was determined by sequencing using DsRed1-C Sequencing Primer
(Clontech; #6483-1; 5'-AGCTGGACATCACCTCCCACAACG-3').
The plasmid was used as the negative control for experiments in article Hepatitis C virus internal ribosome
entry site initiates protein synthesis at the authentic initiation codon in yeast. (Masek et al., 2007; PMID:
17554033).
