The mRNA/+RNA description: 
mRNA produced by tricistronic plasmid pFGAL4-L270-HCV1rc which comprises luciferase, L270 and Gal4 ORFs. L270
clone was selected from pFGAL4::lambda library containing randomly cleaved phage lambda DNA for its low
expression of Gal4p in vivo. The reverse complement sequence of full-length 5'-UTR of HCV genomic RNA together
with the first 45 nt of a viral polyprotein gene was inserted into the intercistronic position between L270
and GAL4 ORFs.

Remarks:
Sc_HCV_type_1a_rc IRES was inserted into intercistronic position of pFGAL4-L270 tricistronic plasmid that can
be used in the pFGAL4h/PJ69A reporter system. The yeast strain PJ69A contains besides the GAL4 and GAL80
deletions also reporter genes coding for the yeast Ade2 and His3 proteins and for the bacterial
beta-galactosidase - all of them under the control of the Gal4-inducible Gal1 promoter. Thus pFGAL4/PJ69A
represents a specialised and sensitive system, which allows an enhancement of the measured signal by in vivo
coupled transcription and enzymatic detection. This system can be used for both measuring the ratio of the
beta-gal/luc enzymatic activities and searching for IRES activity by screening the colony growth rates on
selection media lacking adenine and histidine and containing various concentrations of the competitive
inhibitor of the histidine biosynthetic pathway.

Vector was created by IRESite curator - thus whole sequence is verified by above mentioned methods.
