The mRNA/+RNA description: 
Part of the T7-derived transcript studied in in vitro assays. The 5'-UTR could have been longer but do not
know the necessary details. The intercistronic region contains 5-UTR sequence of EMCV-R virus (bp 315-843).
The mRNA/+RNA sequence represented in the +DNA notation:


Warning: available plasmid sequence is exactly same as the mRNA sequence. It seems we never managed to reconstruct the original plasmid sequence used to express the studied mRNA.

The abbreviated name of this ORF/gene:
GUS
The description of the protein encoded in this ORF:
beta-glucuronidase
The translational frameshift (ribosome slippage) involved:

Remarks:
The intercistronic region inherited quite a long sequence from parental plasmids (64bp). The EMCV-R fragment
was inserted downstream of this spacer using EcoRI and Nco sites just in front with the GUS ORF.
