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: our_best_guess
The mRNA/+RNA description:
Putative spliced bicistronic mRNA derived from pSL based plasmid with part of the 5' UTR(nt 997 to nt 1152) of
human myelin transcription factor 2 (MYT2) mRNA cloned between chloramphenicol acetyltransferase and firefly
luciferase in the reverse orientation (actually CAT-[MYT2-IRES nt 1152 to nt 997]-FFluc). The mRNA produced
was used as the negative control to prove the MYT2 IRES activity.
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. :-)
Credibility of mRNA sequence: guessed_as_the_sequence_was_never_published_by_authors_nor_described_in_sufficient_detail
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: no
The ORF absolute position (the base range includes START and STOP codons or their equivalents): 925-2577
Remarks:
The intercistronic region of the plasmid contains fragment of human myelin transcription factor 2 (MYT2) [nt
997 to nt 1152 of 5' UTR] mRNA in the reverse orientation (actually nt 1152 to nt 997). The mRNA produced was
used as the negative control to prove MYT2 IRES activity.
